Yesterday, a white woman died (Farrah Fawcett), and many people were like "omg thats so sad...", and then, a black man (Michael Jackson) died, and the whole world suddenly stops. This is kind of a first for the U.S. lol but seriously its sad... Farrah Fawcett. A beautiful woman lost her battle against cancer yesterday, and Michael Jackson. The King of Pop, and the artist who made the best selling album selling over 50million copies worldwide... May they both Rest in Peace...

It's because she wasn't as influential as Michael. But still, it's sad. Rest in peace, Farrah and Michael. For some reason, I hate typing RIP. It seems so much more grim.

I don't see the funny part? I also don't see why you brought up race and gender.

I don't think race is that relevant in this case Michael jackson is just a huge pop icon

Michael Jackson was able to pass the race barriers, and became a legend amongst many people worldwide.
