*Joe Jackson hasn’t changed a bit since the kids were … kids.
The patriarch of the Jackson family appeared on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” and made a fool out of himself, telling the world that he, Joe Jackson, the man who is better known for borderline slave driving his kids for the empire, thinks parents are too soft these days.
“One of the reasons I say that is because kids nowadays are killing their parents in some cases,” Jackson said. “Let’s get into this ‘beating’ thing. There’s no such thing as ‘beating a kid.’ You whip them or punish them over something they did, and they will remember that. And they’ll remember it in such a way that they won’t do it again. That’s the way I was.”
He makes no bones about the way he raised the clan, saying times were tough then and it was either his way or the street way. And he boasts of his great deed as a father, producing children “that everybody loved all over the world.”
Joe Jackson gets the ‘Parent of the Century Award.’
Check out a clip of the interview below to hear Jackson’s reaction to receiving news of Michael’s passing.
Joe, none of your children with to jail. It’s just that your children some of them only produce children and don’t take care of them.
I know everyone loves to make fun of Papa Joe, but in his day, that would be called being a good father. He did the best he could with what he knew. Some of his methods would be considered physically and emotionally abusive, but what we think is fine today will surely be criticized as archaic in the next decade.
Yo Joe?, “finish” the statement!…..”You were the right kind of parent….for ABUSE”!!! It wasn’t “b/c” of your treatment they became successful, it was DESPITE your treatment!! Now, will someone get this self promoting, evil, “secret squirrel” lookin mofo, back to the home!?? They still think he’s in his room! SMGDH!
