Joe Jackson searching for personal riches and fame.
As family, friends and the world gathered to honor Michael Jackson one person was noticeable left out. The speakers only mentioned Joe Jackson in passing while honoring Michael and his mother Katherine. Joe's name was also excluded from the elegant memorial program handed out to all the guests, and he was clearly not allowed inside the family group hug around the singer Usher.
The abusive, publicity seeking Joe Jackson did sit in the front row during the Memorial Service, but two of Michael's children sat between him and his wife the Katherine. Most of the performers came off the stage and were acknowledged by the family. All the brothers would get up, and Joe was quick to try and get into that spotlight.
Still, the participants recognized that he is not someone they want to be associated with, and they did their best to avoid him. Some were forced into an obligatory hug or handshake with Joe before they could get to Katherine's seat where they paid their genuine respects.
Michael specifically kept Joe out of his will, but the man who beat and abused him as a child was still sitting next to Michael's children in the media spotlight. One could almost hear Michael yelling from his casket to get Joe away from his kids.
Still, the family allows Joe to be part of the proceedings, and Joe does all he can to promote himself and his projects. He's been making money off his children much like Kate Gosselin but for many more years. Isn't it time somebody removed Joe from this picture?
May all our children find the love and nurturing they need and deserve. And may those who would exploit children find themselves without anyone to victimize.
