There has been a lot of controversy about my song, They Don't Care About Us. My intention was for this song to say No to racism, anti-Semitism and stereotyping.

I just want you all to know how strongly I am committed to tolerance, peace and love, and I apologize to anyone who might have been hurt Respectfully, Michael Jackson
