"Honestly I thought Simba was sexy but then they created Kovu and I had my “aha” moment. I’m team dark skin full bearded men, he was like the Idris Elba of Lion King and Simba was like Shemar Moore. Both are sexy but we all know Idris Elba can get it."

Sagira.

Jackson, demonstrated the foundation for the song in an impromptu acappella performance in his 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey. The moment elicited such a strong reaction that Sony decided to issue it as the album’s next single (in place of “Give in to Me”). The Village Voice’s Greg Tate later wrote of the moment: “My official all-time-favorite Michael clip is the one of him on Oprah viciously beatboxing (his 808 kick sound could straight castrate even Rahzel’s!) and freestyling a new jam into creation – instantaneously connecting Michael in a syncopating heartbeat to those spiritual tributaries that Langston Hughes described, the one’s ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. Bottom line: Anyone whose racial-litmus-test challenge to Michael came with a rhythm-and-blues battle royal event would have gotten their ass royally waxed.”

"if you want to talk to someone that really has a struggle within the Muslim community then talk to a black Muslim and ask them how they’re treated.

I didn’t know someone quoted this but this is probably the realest thing I’ve said. No one really understands or acknowledges the struggles of the black Muslim community. Racism within the Muslim community is ridiculous but they all turn around and quote Malcolm X while turning away people that look just like him.

WTF kinda logic…
