Wayan's jealousy and insecurity against the Jacksons


Over the years, I saw four interviews over years with Damon and each time he went out of his way to attack the Jackson family, particularly Michael Jackson.

When one interviewer asked him if he was proud of the success of his younger brothers, Shawn and Marlon, and older brother, Keenan, he said that he could not because people were once proud of the Jacksons at one time and "look at them now, especially Michael."

In another interview, he brought up the Jacksons again out of the blue by stating that his family wanted everyone in show business to have talent and not be like the Jacksons where Michael is the only who had any.

Even with his fame and success he still believes there is not enough room for a large number of successful blacks, some he has to knock some down in order for there to be room for him and to stand on top.

Why would he say that Michael is the only Jackson that had success? Janet is successful too.

I think you're overreacting on his bringing up the Jacksons.

Probably trying to be funny. Next to MJ, anyone short of Madonna or Prince is going to look like a failure. He's probably had 3 other siblings with well performing records in their own right, and that's not counting the Jacksons less MJ.
