Back when Michael Jackson was Black and his idiosyncrasies had not mutated into Pedophiliac intimations. The Artist, Prince was emerging and the Black community had a hard time figuring out what to make of a high heel wearing neo-androgyny. So it didn't take much for image purveyors and moral charlatans to contrast Michael Jackson, the good against the immoral-evil Prince.
Again Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson were values in this dynamic. As much as Allen Iverson was made out to be deviant. Kobe Bryant was the one who continued the Michael Jackson and Prince factor with his rape and sexual assault indictment.
Again the image purveyors and moral charlatans were hard at work with Chris Brown till the Rihanna contradiction reminded idealism that to quote Robert Penn in All the Kings Men there is "Always Something" and the Michael Jackson's and Prince factor is it's cold dash of reality.
