There is a wonderful woman that I really must tell you all about. We met
some years back, during a very solemn time in both of our lives. She
was one of the voices in the justice for Michael movement. Michael
Jackson is the Michael I’m speaking of and Taaj Malik is the voice that
demanded justice for him.
Early on I was going through a great deal of mourning, I still am but my
friendship with Taaj has helped that a great deal. I was what I call a
private citizen, I didn’t belong to any group or club or forum. I just
researched Michael’s life on my own; dealt with the trauma of his life
as best I could.
I was approached by a woman and we became fast friend, real sweet
Michael fan, very nice girl. She however was friends with lots of people
in what is called the MJ Fam community. This community is devised of
numerous groups who run websites and forums. Many are lone individuals
who blog and voice their opinions via Twitter. The Michael Jackson Fam
community is supposed to be a place of love and where fans mourning,
where fans that want justice for Michael can congregate and be there for
one another as shoulders to lean on. Looks are deceiving, while the
concept of this place would be a haven; if only it weren’t for the
wolves in sheep’s clothing.
The woman that I became friends with was friends with so many in the
Michael Jackson community. These were people that I did not know or have
contact with, I never even as so much heard their names; except for
one. Arguably and probably not;
Taaj’s name is the most well known
throughout the MJ fam community. She has thousands of followers on
Twitter (at the time I did not know this, nor would it have made a
difference) she has a website dedicated to the investigation of
Michael’s death teammichaeljackson.con and she has various Facebook
pages as well as a YouTube channel also under the name Team Michael
Jackson.
While I didn’t know Taaj, I heard about her, I didn’t hear about any of
the wonderful aforementioned, I heard horrible things. Again, keep in
mind that I was quietly mourning, I was new to this all. I came to the
net looking for consoling, I suppose and I guess wondering if anyone had
had the hunches or suspicions I did about Michael’s death. The thing
you will learn is that no one is as they seem. There are the rare few
and when you come across them hold on to them. It’s not easy being a MJ
supporter in this hostile climate or dealing with his death and his
murder on a daily basis. Taaj is one of those rare few. Had I not
thought for myself, was open to hear her out as she was open to accept
and hear me. I would have never met nor gained a wonderful true friend.
In hindsight, I realize the whole approach by this woman I took as a
dear friend, had a goal to poison me against Taaj. I’m sure many of you
can relate. Many of you have been contacted via Twitter or private mail
if your contact info was out there. Twitter replies DMs and emails
riddled with Taaj hate. I was told not to ever get involved with her
ever. At first I didn’t understand this so called warning as again I
knew none of the people my then friend spoke of or their story. I
believe in the beginning the conversations about the community and its
members started out innocently enough. I’m not a gossip, we were both
very interested in what happened to Michael, cried about Michael. She
was someone I thought I had commonality with for in my personal life no
one would understand. You will also learn that in this community there’s
a whole lot of exploiting of ones emotions.
I started to be fed things ya know playing on my protective nature. Taaj
is dangerous she is middle eastern and she wants into the Jackson
family by any means.
Well that sent up the first red flag, not for Taaj
but my “friend”. I am a woman of color as are women from the middle east
to label her a terrorist pretty much was a side eye moment for me. The
comment was racist and appeared rather personal. She said Taaj was
dangerous but she could never tell me what Taaj did or give me an
example of such danger. I then started to hear about theft. Taaj was
ripping fans along with other people that was supposed to be for Michael
yet obviously wasn’t. Again she would talk & talk all while trying
to sell me on another voice in the community with a very different
message from justice. A message that never sat well with me.
One day people were on the net being really mean to Taaj, saying all
types of stuff, making all types of accusations again with no proof
provided whatsoever. It was just attack after attack. Taaj defended
herself, she was very direct, yea she gave them a mouthful as she should
have. Everyone has the God given right to defend oneself against such
ugliness. But you know what else she did, that meant the world and
proved real from fake Taaj became transparent. She opened her site, her
FB pages and any type of fan interaction she had and it unequivocally
proved her innocence.
I saw this and reached out to her, she could have easily said mind your
business, I don’t know you, but she didn’t. She was open to my mediation
attempts. I like peace yet I also wanted to know the truth. Anyone who
loves Michael wouldn’t want a “dangerous person” using his family and
fans. Not that it would have been my place, yet I can’t have anyone just
spouting things at me, especially hate and division. When it comes to
Michael there is this protective lion or lioness that comes out of us
all. And Taaj my God would be one of the most protective lionesses
around.
Maybe I wouldn’t have stepped in or even viewed the argument or
attacks that Taaj was enduring. But I don’t like to hear bad things
about people for no reason and I needed to know why it was being
stressed to me of all people. The net isn’t the easiest place to
navigate as you never know who is behind a twit handle or email.
Taaj again the biggest voice of justice for Michael, she wasn’t a
narcissist and she didn’t brush me off. She was very candid and
explained her position. There was something very very real about her and
I appreciated that. I told my “friend” Taaj seem alright she was very
honest the documents she made public proves she’s No Thief I don’t see a
danger. I even said the Jackson family would never deal with someone
just because without checking them out, she must be ok. It’s not like
she is in the entertainment business or chasing them around or even name
dropping. I took the time to learn about Taaj on my own.
This didn’t make my “friend” happy. She would promote her allegiance to
the other community voice and she would continuously put Taaj down and
tell me to stay away from her. It was tiring to hear as again no proof
of accusations and she didn’t even have a personal account of Taaj
having done anything to her or anyone she knows. It appears she was
parroting the words of the so called other voice, no thoughts of her
own. Just carrying out an agenda without question. In the community
people want to belong. They get used like ponds, but when used for
spreading hate, that works only cause they themselves have hate within
them.
I like to learn about a person for myself. Just as I want them to learn
about me. Taaj and I over time, it wasn’t instant.
We didn’t invade one
another’s space every now and then we would commune. With time our
contact got more frequent. She is such a genuine person. There was no
need for her to lie to me or I her, we were mere strangers to one
another.
We didn’t talk about who she knew or what she did for justice. We
didn’t, talk about what I knew or didn’t who I may or may not know. We
just got to really know one another. With so many people coming at you
for what you can provide, we didn’t have any of that between us. She
didn’t bad mouth anyone. There were ugly blogs on the net again
“warning” people about Taaj. They were sent to me or I was directed to
them. I never bothered reading, I didn’t care. Taaj has even herself
told me to view them, I didn’t. She had no shame nothing to hide, just
wanted me to know what was out there. Even while Taaj expressed her pain
over the bullying, the harrassment, do you know she still never once
bad mouthed the attackers. She could have, I wasn’t going to say
anything, and she has every right to vent. Taaj is just so refreshing,
nothing judgemental or pretentious about her.
She is so refreshing, I
hope I am for her too :-)
There were no facades. I just genuinely liked her right away, which is
important to me. The more I got to know her, the more I knew what I
heard were lies and on purpose lies.
Taaj is there for everyone. She doesn’t like conflict or want problems,
even with those that attack her, these cruel women even attacked her
young child. This should let you know the type of people that exist in
the community. Taaj however isn’t made that way. Taaj would be friends
with the world if all on this planet would allow her. I’m so serious.
She helps and loves everyone. She calls emails and checks on them to see
how they are in their lives. Not just in regards to how they dealing
with the loss of Michael as she does so much of that too. Keeping fans
in the loop, consoling them etc. Taaj could easily keep it all to
herself. She always says its bigger than herself, she doesn’t even
consider herself. Justice, Michael, the Jackson Family and the Fans.
Taaj never thinks of herself or what this all will cost her. It has cost
her a great deal both professionally and personally. Yet this has never
deterred her, a lessor woman would have been called it quits.
Stories about Taaj are just that stories. It’s time people get to know
the real Taaj and why I and so many love her and stand by her. Just as
there are people in the community pretending to be fans of Michael but
are here to bring destruction to him and his family. As they secretly
work for and/or are jockeying for a position with the powers that be.
Well the truth of the matter is, there are people that are doing the
same to Taaj. They want to discredit her, tear down her work as she
presents the unfiltered truth about what happened to Michael.
The former friend admitted to me, she was jealous of Taaj and her
relationship with Michaels family and her desire to be in such a
position. How many attacks against Taaj do you suppose materialized as a
result of such thoughts; honestly.
There are so many stories just like that of my former friend, there are
planned agendas as to why Taaj is being attacked.
Open your hearts and your minds, it happened to Michael didn’t it.
More to come.
Her first love http://teammichaeljackson.com/
