Whether he was a racist or not is answered by Jim Funches his black Bodyguard. Its open to interpretation
swipe starts here
The tension of it did affect him, and after the Feds had delivered him to me, he had to vent that tension ... Poor Jimbo unfortunately chose a curiously offensive method. After we walked 'bout a hundred yards down the long hall, he started talking about the heavy hand of Fed/Establishment oppression on the people of the entire planet, likening it to slave master's merciless oppression of my ancestors. He then bounced down the hall and shouted to no one in particular "Get Me A ****** To Carry My Bags!"
I dropped his bags, reached out with my right hand, grabbed his neck, shoulder and arm in it, lifted him up close to me and advised him that his choice of metaphor could stand some revision ... He apologized and I took it in good faith. He had NEVER before displayed the effects of the intense scrutiny and pressure he was under, and I understood. We BOTH forgot about it as soon as it happened. I had always known Jim couldn't tolerate racism and never had a prejudiced bone in his body. These things I didn't so much hear as I observed during the time I spent with The Doors and Family. I knew it was his way of venting, and customarily Morrison-esque in the expression thereof.
If Jim was not racist, then why are there several accounts (notably in Frank's book "A Feast of Friends") of Jim using "******"? Was it just to get a rise out of people? Curiously, from my viewpoint it would be easy to be all over both sides of that question. At the time I came to be known in the business, few (if any) black folks had anything to do in the business at all. Some closet racist execs quickly figured out that little white kids could be intimidated by the presence of big black guys, so many were hired to foster that kind of mis-begotten dread in place of intelligently thought-out security measures that I had devised and implemented. Donnie Branker, who drafted me into the rock and roll business saw it correctly and any success I had was/is a direct result of Donnie observing that I knew what I was doing.
Jim was raised in a racist household, in a racist state where an ENTIRE BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITY WAS BURNED OUT in the early 20th century. Most of the inhabitants were murdered by the mob of rampaging Whites, and the Rosewood Community ceased to exist. That's where Jim came from, and he MAY HAVE, on occasion, blurted out some of that vile venom without forethought. He actually saw Black Americans much the same as he saw the Native Americans, as ethnic victims of applied genocide (his term, and I've adopted it ...) and I do hereby go on record as stating categorically, that James Douglas Morrison was not a racist and I should know. I was his (close contact) bodyguard for a number of years and I am a sentient adult black American male with a smattering of observational skills.
Jim could be known to say a lot of things to see the reaction of those he suspected of having underlying motives ... As I've said before, Jim could read deep into people's character and know their deepest secret fears ... and also what really made the person "tick" ... if he used "the magic word" for that purpose, I was never aware of it.

are garth kids old enough? hes been mia since forever.
that shyt is crazy, before he even died one of his friends got on CNN or MSNBC (responding to Michael's weird appearance and actions) said that he feared for Michael, he said people were trying to exhort him and kill him, he said the main reason was they wanted the Beatles catalog.
They didn't. The Beatles lost control of Northern Songs (their music publishing company) in 1969, after their publisher (Dick James) and his partner sold their interest in the company to ATV. ATV bought enough other shares (Northern Songs was a public company, traded on the London Stock Exchange) to become the majority shareholders. John Lennon and Paul McCartney "cashed out" at that point, selling their stock to ATV also. (George Harrison and Ringo Starr kept their shares, totaling about 1.8% ownership of the company. Each had already started their own publishing companies, independent of Northern Songs.)
Northern Songs went up for sale in 1985. McCartney and Jackson were friends and collaborators at that point, and McCartney encouraged Jackson to invest in music publishing (which he had done in the 1970s, and prospered), never expecting Jackson to outbid him for Northern Songs. Afterwards, McCartney pointed out that his and Lennon's writer's royalties had never been increased (they were young and naive when they signed the initial contracts, and weren't paid what they easily could have been), and asked for an increase. When Jackson turned him down, it was the end of their friendship.
MJ motherfuckers!!
interesting bro, but could that be the reason he's not alive? That catalog made him richer, but it also made those devils hunt for him. if you google michael jackson beatles catalog conspiracy, then ad tags (Jewish Mafia, etc...)there's several pages before and after he died. yes he went crazy in his latter years but who knows what he had to deal with.
I still have never been to the Oaktown, I got to get out their some day, a got a couple of homiez from out there, their cool people.Similar threads
