@mrbigshot: You didn't offend me and I don't take it personally. I don't know why you felt the need to mention that.
I appreciate you writing here. Because I really want to know how people think about this subject that interests me the most.
[...]but my point is that Elvis is still Caucasian he will always have the advantage because thats how our society has conditioned us[....]
Ok, nobody said the contrary. But what has this got to do with the hoax?
In what way Elvis being black or white proves that he's alive or dead? The same question goes for Michael.
The only thing related to the hoax in your comments is that they had different reasons to fake it.
And that's true. If you go on the links from the LIST above ^^ you will see what strong reasons Elvis had to fake his death.
You will also see that they also had
common reasons to fake their deaths: they both had received numerous death threats and their families , before they "died". And they were both hunted for money by their own friends and managers!
[...]Michael had a difficult time getting acquainted with the musical scene than all Elvis simply because Michael had many racial obstacles to overcome.
Again, nobody says the contrary. Even though Elvis 's music had been refused at the beginning especially because it was perceived to be
"black music sang by a white man!"@mrbigshot: You need to watch this video that will make you understand that Elvis, even being white, had to overcome
racial obstacles because he was singing blues and gospel!!
But by the will of God, Elvis managed to break those racial barriers, that's why all the African American artists are still so admiring of Elvis and grateful to him!
Watch carefully, especially starting from minute 02:37 to see what racist resistance Elvis had to fight against at the beginning of his career! Listen how much hate they had for him and his music, watch how they broke his records on TV just to impress the public not to listen to him anymore:

Isn't this ^^ pretty similar to Michael breaking racial barriers when he managed to reach on MTV ? as the first black artists to be broadcasted on tv like that! It's like history repeating over and over again... That's what fascinates me about Elvis & Michael!! When you start digging in their lives and career, you realize that
they basically mirror each other! 1. Little Richard:๏ปฟ "Elvis was an integrator. Elvis was a blessing. They wouldnโt let Black music through. He opened the door for Black music."
2. Ernest Withers: "Elvis was a great man and did more for civil rights than people know. To call him a racist is an insult to us all."
3. Cissy Houston: "Elvis loved gospel music. He was raised on it. He was singing Gospel all the time โ almost anything he did had that flavor. You canโt get away from what your roots are."
4. James Brown: "I wasnโt just a fan, I was his brother. I love him and hope to see him in heaven. Thereโll never be another like that soul brother."
5. Sammy Davis Jnr.: "I have a respect for Elvis and my friendship. It ainโt my business what he did in private. The only thing I want to know is, โWas he my friend?โ, โDid I enjoy him as a performer?โ, โDid he give the world of entertainment something?โ - and the answer is YES on all๏ปฟ accounts. The other jazz just donโt matter."
6. B.B๏ปฟ King: "I knew Elvis before he was popular. He used to come and be around us a lot. Elvis at heart was very religious and throughout his career he couldnโt help but let it come out. When Jackie Wilson had a stroke in '75, Elvis covered most of his medical bills. The struggles after M. L. Kingโs assassination created strong racial boundaries in Memphis and the South. Elvis had always felt strongly about social injustice, as shown by his donations to charities and his song โIn The Ghettoโ.
I am very much reluctant to comparing Elvis & Michael in other way than the hoax in itself and as far as the numerous coincidences are concerned. because IMO, any comparison of any other sort is unjust to both of them. They are UNIQUE in their own way! An d I feel blessed by God because He gave us those 2 genius talented
half humans, half-angels, if you ask me!!
@mrbigshot: I don't know if you read this thread here: You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
LoginI only observe the numerous similarities, the mind-blowing coincidences, the very many common things they share (from all aspects: life, spiritual beliefs, career, humanitarian acts, hoax, etc.)
By learning as much as I could about both of them, I've come to the conclusion that they have been left on Earth,
by GOD, as his messengers! as his "vessels" through which he transferred love, hope, unity and light unto us, humans.
I only compare their death-hoaxes with the following purposes:1. Prove that they are both ALIVE! since MJ's hoax is pretty much identical to Elvis' hoax. if MJ is alive then Elvis is too and VICE-VERSA! Their hoaxes are so much alike that the fact that one of them is alive stand as enough proof that the other one is alive too!!
2. Finding out more about how they did it!
3. Find out if they indeed keep contact with each other
4. Find out if they will both return or if not, why can't Elvis return??
