Michael Jackson's memorial service concluded this week. How well did you know his body of work? What was MJ's most Culturally Healthy song? (Video)
So what do you think, was it Thriller, Remember the Time, Billie Jean or some other work?
I was doing a series of articles entitled Egyptians/AA Yesterday and Today, when out of the blue, I remembered the time Micheal Jackson did his most Culturally Healthy Video. Did you remember the time when Mr. Jackson took a big risk and brought an ethically accurate Classical African Civilization, Kemet (ancient Egypt) back to the world stage.
Most Americans remember Hollywood's culturally poisoned representations of ancient north Africa from movies like Cleopatra and The Ten commandments with Yul Brynner playing an African King Ra Moses II (Ramesses II).
Richard Pryor who had a Cultural Rebirth after his trip to Africa, made a short Cultural Literacy piece for his TV Show that is known by relatively few Americans and citizens of the world Egypt 1909, it is a most remarkable piece for its time. Eddie Murphy also did a Culturally Healthy movie, Coming to America which, did not have Kemet as its focus as in the case of Mr. Jackson and Mr. Pryor. However, it did have a positive cultural impact worldwide.
Now I may be in error, but as best I can remember Mr. Jackson was the first major entertainer to successfully produce a major work regarding the historicity of Classical African Civilization (CAC) designed to improve Cultural Literacy in the world's mass market .
Mr. Jackson is known to be a curious person, always asking questions. I wonder what is the back story regarding Mr. Jackson's Cultural Literacy regarding CAC. Did he consult with African Scholars on the video. How did this all come about.
How was your Cultural Literacy. How well did you know Mr. Jackson's work?
Did you get the answer right? (No cheating, before you read the article)

Micheal Jackson Thanks for Helping My Son
My youngest son has cerebral palsy and your music and entertainment genius gave him countless hours of joy and great dancing fun. His mother and I thank you for activating the sound in our son's spirit.
I was talking to the Queen mother of our family the other day on the passing of Micheal Jackson and she told me something I had not heard from her before. She reminisced about how our son use to love to dance to Micheal's music and how he new all the words. For a minute, we could both see him in our minds eye, in those eyes that only parents have.
She told me she had always wanted to send Micheal Jackson a letter thanking him. So today, as we offer our condolences to your family in this time of transition, I am saying thank you for both of us
Our son has grown to be a fine young man and a technical wiz. This is what my son wrote on his new cyber-magazine this week.
My mother gave me the middle name Micheal which, my youngest sun carries. As you may know, it is from the christian archangel Michael. This cosmological archetype comes down to us from classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt) as the Neter Huru. Heru is the source of the universal archetypal concept that we understand in the West as a Hero. You have certainly been a transnational, trans-ethnic musical hero to many.
You may know about these prisoners but I and most of my readers did not.
Michael Jackson “Thriller” by Philippines’s Prisoners
The reach of your positive cultural energy through your entertainment genius is remarkably transcendent, King of pop. Here we have Prisoners at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines, activating and energizing a core values of the African and Asian worldview, collectivism. This is the most massive and remarkable jail exercise routines I have ever seen. Wow! Talk about different roads to psychological and cosmological freedom.
As an ancestor we know you will receive all your messages, it is not like E-Mail down here on the earthly plane, so thank you for taking a microsecond to absorb our family thank you.
P.S. If you are feeling Mr. Jackson's spirit during this transition, I highly recommend you watch the videos in the three stories below especially, the last one which, tells you a lot about this spirit's impact on our planet.

I was very sad to hear about Michael Jackson's death I grew up with his music I'm currently 31 years old and despite my disability I did my best as a young child to imitate his dance moves when I was dancing to his music whether it was in my wheelchair or on my knees his music helped me forget about my disability for that time.
