Joe Jackson

APR wants to recognize a pioneer in parenting and an inspiration to APR.

It's Joe Jackson (founder and father of the Jackson 5, Latoya and Janet Jackson plus a couple of no talent kids as well). Now watching the Jackson movie on TV (because APR can't read) I was shocked to find out that Michael Jackson was black and part of a talented family of black singers.

But what didn't surprise APR was the stern father figure that produced such talents. Joe was stern and distributed punishment like a Marine drill Sargent (Here's to you gunny... semper fi).

He will go into the history books as one of the greatest fathers like Tiger Woods dad or the Williams sisters dad.

Joe was a believer in the yelling and beating your kids methodology of parenting. Especially the talentless ones like Latoya.

APR believes that if the Jackson family didn't flee his tyrannical rule they would not be so messed up today.

Micheal won't hang out with little boys and have pet monkeys because Joe would have kept Micheal black and beaten him down any time he got near a little boy.
Janet won't have had her wardrobe malfunction with Justin Timberlake because Joe wouldn't let her be on stage with a white boy.
Also Joe knew Latoya was a talentless person and that's why he didn't even promote her like he did his sons and Janet.

So please Joe come back and straighten out your kids.
