    Grew up in a town near Neverland ranch in the 90s, he hosted the local little league champions team to a party there. I’m pretty sure a classmate of mine went there once. Only had nice things to say about it, but even then there were jokes and rumors.

    On one hand I can see people scapegoating a successful black man, from multiple angles there may also be feelings of betrayal from the black community. On the other hand, I was also up the road from Oprah, and I never heard anything about parties for groups of minors that she hosted.

    Where there’s smoke there probably fire, but racists and radicals are good at hiding smoke machines.

      “Where there’s smoke there’s fire” is really interesting when the courts operate on the basis of “innocent until proven guilty”.

        Anyone who says “where there’s smoke there’s fire” never did chemistry class at school. Probably the second worst idiom one can say.
