Michael Jackson‘s eldest son, Prince Michael Jackson, was dragged unmercifully on Twitter.com for his cavalier comment about Black Lives Matter.
Social justice activists came for Prince’s neck when he tweeted: “I understand that you want to focus on #blacklivesmatter but why only focus on one life that matters when all do?”
Prince’s followers schooled the 19-year-old on America’s shameful racist legacy that caused his father to hate his own skin.
His comment was deemed insensitive because it comes at a time when black Americans are grieving the back-to-back deaths of 2 black men at the hands of cops.
@princemjjjaxon because white people don't get killed for being white. Black people do

Prince and his sister Paris, 18, are Caucasian. Their 14-year-old brother, Prince Michael II, is Hispanic.

Your daddy didn't moonwalk and treat Billie Jean like a side chick for you to embarrass him like this. https://t.co/F43RT9JAb5

@princemjjjaxon All lives are not being shot 5 times in the back and shared all over social media. BLACK lives are. Pay attention to this.
