From HuffingtonPost.com:

Spike Lee is planning a Brooklyn block party in honor of Michael Jackson’s birthday.

On August 29th, what would have been Jackson’s 51st birthday, Lee and “the great borough of Brooklyn” will take over Fort Greene park with, according to The Root, “DJ Spinna… spinning all things Jackson, from the Jackson 5 to the Jacksons to Michael Jackson.”

Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz, who has already named June 30th “Spike Lee Day,” is set to declare Aug. 29 “Michael Jackson Day.”

    ITS FUNNY THE WAY BLACK AMERICA HAS REACTED TO MJs DEATH. FROM LIKE THE MID 90S UP UNTIL HIS DEATH I PERSONALLY HEARD MANY BLACK PEOPLE SAY “MJ DONT WANT TO BE BLACK NO MORE THEN LET THE WHITE PEOPLE HAVE HIM” BUT THE MINUTE HE DIED HE HAS BEEN PORTRAYED AS A “BLACK KING”. HELL THE MEMORIAL OUT IN L.A. PRETTY MUCH PORTRAYED IT LIKE “MICHAEL WAS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN SUPERSTAR” AND NOT “MICHAEL WAS AN AMERICAN SUPERSTAR”. TRUTH BE TOLD MOST OF THE PEOPLE AT MJ CONCERTS PASSING OUT AND HOLLERING WERE WHITE PEOPLE…JUST LOOK AT THE BAD, HISTORY, AND DANGEROUS TOURS. I DONT THINK MICHAEL WOULD HAVE BEEN TO PROUD OF THE MEMORIAL IN L.A. BECAUSE IT WANST MORE DIVERSE. MJ WAS ABOUT BRINGING RACES TOGETHER AND THE MEMORIAL IN L.A. WAS ALL ABOUT CASTING MJ AS A BLACK SOUL ARTIST LIKE JAMES BROWN INSTEAD OF SOMEONE WHO BROUGHT RACES TOGETHER
