People around the world, some people agreed with him and some thought he was being a racist or throwing "slurs". Michael released a statement to the public days after album was released stating " The idea that these lyrics could be deemed objectionable is extremely hurtful to me, and misleading. The song in fact is about the pain of prejudice and hate and is a way to draw attention to social and political problems. I am the voice of the accused and the attacked. I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead. I am the Jew, I am the black man, I am the white man. I am not the one who was attacking. It is about the injustices to young people and how the system can wrongfully accuse them. I am angry and outraged that I could be so misinterpreted".]]> 2019-04-14 06:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/351437429 mcl855039 https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/351544448 2019-04-15 02:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/351544448 mcl855039 https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/351544693 2019-04-15 02:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/351544693 mcl855039 https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/352581394 2019-04-18 15:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/352581394 mcl855039 https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/352585670 2019-04-18 15:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/352585670 mcl855039 https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/352688010 2019-04-18 23:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mcl855039/8wvfd770v56d/wish/352688010
