And there, he reconnects with his Black and brown friends from the hood.
And one of those friends is played by then-newcomer Wesley Snipes, and all of them clown him for going soft and not wanting to do hood rat things with them.
The friction between oddball and musical genius was strong for Michael in the late 80s and into the 90s.
The era of bad and dangerous.
MJ was 20 plus years into his career by then.
In pop terms, he was an elder statesman and no longer cool.
He was, however, getting progressively weirder.
And everyone was noticing.
In a classic sketch from the comedy show In Living Color, comedian Tommy Davidson parodied Jackson in the video for Black or White.
OK, but enough black people were still rocking with him, even as some of us were also laughing at him.
John Singleton directed Eddie Murphy, Magic Johnson and supermodel Iman to play out a fantasy of ancient Egypt in the now classic video for Remember the Time.
That was from 1992.
And that same year, the Jacksons' An American Dream dropped, and its finale topped the Nielsen ratings with about 24 million viewers tuning in live.
That week, it beat out shows like Roseanne and Murder, She Wrote.
And then, in 1993, Jackson performed at the Super Bowl halftime show, laying out the template for the spectacle that it's become today.
He was also honored by the NAACP with the Entertainer of the Year Award, presented by Wesley Snipes.
So when Jackson found himself at the NAACP awards again in 1994, this time in the midst of the child abuse allegations, it made sense he'd use the moment to reassert that support from the Black community.
Black folks are like every other kind of Americans, right?
Which means that we are just as susceptible to sort of conspiratorial thinking as any other group of people.
It's just part of the human condition.
