From AP: The Apollo Theater paid tribute to Michael Jackson and opened its doors for fans to come and remember the King of Pop, who played the famous Harlem theater.
Hundreds of Michael Jackson fans circled the block around the theater for a public tribute to the pop star, some spontaneously singing their favorite songs and dancing in the street. ...
But the highlight of the day-long event was the Rev. Al Sharpton dancing with director Spike Lee, then grinding up on some random MJ fan.
Mr. Sharpton, we've seen Michael Jackson dance, and you are no Michael Jackson.

Listen to the majority of voices around you. the majority of the media is not Black. This is a fourm that caters to minority voices. In regards to MJ he had amazing talent and I will miss that. People are celebrating the talent he brought to the music industry. God knows the truth about his allegation and I believe that we will all will reap what we sow good or bad. I send my regards to MJ and his family.

I miss MJ so much! I feel like I've lost a family member. Just like millions I have grown up with his music and magic and in a way I feel like a part of me went when he did but I know his music will live on and be in my heart for forever! I hope he is at peace...

Sharpton is acting like an idiot at a time like this. Dancing around and acting a fool. He needs to get him a real 40 hour a week job and keep out of peoples business.

Amen! I feel like I have lost a family member also. He was an amazing person that cared so much for others. Michael Jackson gave to so many and allowed children sick, poor, white, black have a childhood that only we could dream of. He gave with out credit, many people did not know how many people he had helped until now, to me that is a ture selfless act of kindness. His music speaks for its self it will live on forever.

This is just an example of Sharptons thea"Tricks" he is not a man of god or equality. Big Al will dance to any toon. Put Ole Man River on the box for a 20 spot and he'll tap dance like a fat monkey on a hot roof
