EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Al Sharpton To Attend Michael Jackson Burial
Posted on Sep 01, 2009 @ 06:51AM
Rev. Al Sharpton says he will be a guest at the burial of Michael Jackson on Thursday.
The New York minister attended the NAACP Theater Awards in Los Angeles Monday night and spoke exclusively with RadarOnline.com's reporter Rachel Smith. However, Sharpton would neither confirm nor deny whether he will speak at the extremely private affair.
Rev. Sharpton was one of 20,000 people who attended a birthday celebration for the King of Pop over the weekend that was produced by Spike Lee in Brooklyn, NY. The reverend told us he would like to make this an annual tradition.
His most emotional memory involving Michael is taking the pop superstar to James Brown's casket. Michael told the reverend: 'I hope that James in death gets the credit he did not get in life,' And that's what I hope for Michael," said Sharpton.
Jackson's burial will be held Thursday at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Sharpy doesnt show up anywhere without an agenda. If he cared so deeply about Michael, where was he 6 months ago? He was grandstanding somewnere else

He did not say stupid stuff to his kids, he spoke how any person would and I applaud him for his speech, that's how African American speak when we are getting our point across. He did a good job.

Why do the Jackson's associate with this moron? Katherine is a Jehovah Witness, Jermaine is Muslim, Joe is the Devil incarnate. WTF

That man is an idiot! He does anything to keep his name in the headlines! I mean really, WHAT has he done? He even said stupid stuff to MJ's kids at the funeral! "Ain't nothing strange about your daddy......" WHY tell children that?

It wasn't "STUPID", it was respectful and if you saw it, you would have noticed how the Jackson family applauded him, it wasn't nothing strange about their daddy, just what he had to deal with. "BRAVO"
