Why is the Jackson family above criticism? If the very same family dynamics that are happening with them right now were happening in a house on your block, people would be having a fit and child services would be all over it, as they should be.
It is screwed up that Katherine at age 79 seems to be the only responsible adult in that household who is tasked with managing all those kids. MJ's kids lost their dad, but those other kids have parents! At her age she should be able to take it easy, and her sons should behave like active parents instead of leaving everything to her.
It sickens me that some of her sons feel it's ok to put this weight on her while they go off to do whatever... no doubt they feel comfortable doing so b/c she is the conduit through whom the MJ estate money currently flows. Do any of us believe for a minute that the money flowing through Katherine is only supporting MJ's kids? Get real.
It is truly amazing to me that when the taser incident was continuing to unfold, Jermaine was too busy giving interviews overseas to shake his ass home and act like a responsible parent.
And yes, I feel it is ok for people to express some common sense judgment re this family, considering they very much want the public to buy whatever they're promoting, whether it's a reality show or a future album or a concert or whatever. Like too many other celebrities they expect the public and MJ fans to subsidize their lifestyle with our money, yet also demand that we remain silent while they live like hypocrites.
