the song they dont really care about us is a strong message that michael was trying to get across to people but some of them took it the wrong way here are some points about the song

first
michael was trying to say they dont really care about us meaning the media the press the news dont care about us at all that's what michael was trying to say in the song but the media took it the wrong way saying oh he alisema racist slurs in the song and who is he talking about when he say they

sekunde
what he meant kwa they like i alisema before the media the press the news au anybody he wasnt trying to be racist at all when he alisema kyke he wasnt trying to be racist at all he knew what the word meant he heard it from some Marafiki and they alisema the word to one another and michael wonderd what it meant and it is a slang word for them that they use to call each other

third
when michael made the prison version of they dont really care about us the media banned it because they heard the word that michael used in the song they thought it was a racist slur that he used in the song so michael had to sit down with some excutives of MTV and tell them that he didnt use a racist slur and that he new what it meant and if they werent going to play it then just dont play it at all he didnt want it on the air

last
the MTV excutives told him if he wanted the song to air then he would have to make a different verson of the song and michael had became angry with them and just alisema that he wasnt going to do it at all and it was worthless if he were to make a whole new version of the song but michael did it anyway and made the brazil version of the song and hariri it without the word that used in the first version of the song

which is not fair at all for michael to have to do that they wouldnt have done that to any other artist at all but they did it to michael which is not fair at all
