Mao
Zedong said he saw his abusive father as the dictator, and him, and
his mother and sisters as the poor peasants, and he wanted the
peasants to overthrow the State, just as he wanted his mother and
sister “peasants” to overthrow his abusive father. In Paulo
Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, we see how The Oppressor
does not acknowledge humanity in the Oppressed, instead they see them
as objects. Humanity can only come from the Oppressed. George Carlin
said on folks who allow others to call them Junior: “I have no
respect for any man who allows people to call him Junior, I
immediately think he's a chump and a loser. To me, Junior means lower
than, lesser than, beneath. Putting “Junior” on a kid's name is
just a way for a father to control and demean his son and prevent him
from having an identity of his own. I don't like that whole
cult-of-the-father thing in the first place. But apparently some
guys' self esteem is just low enough that they accept it. I have no
respect for them.” [page 20, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?]
On
April 31, 1984, Marvin Gaye II, the Superstar, who sang “Let's Get
It On”, and “What's Going On?”, which starts out, “Mother
Mother, there's too many of you crying. Brother Brother Brother,
there's far too many of you dying. You know we've got to find a way
to bring some love in here today. Yeah, Father Father, we don't need
to escalate. You see, the War is not the answer, for only Love can
conquer can Hate. You know we've got to find a way, to bring some
love in here today. Picket lines, and picket signs, don't punish me,
with brutality...”, was shot by Marvin Gaye “Senior” (adults
don't act like he did), who was a nobody loser, that nobody in the
world gave a fuck about, except Marvin Gaye II's Mother. Marvin Gaye
“Junior” was shot and murdered by his own father, his own flesh
and blood, in the West Adams district of Los Angeles at his house in
Gramercy Place. Marvin Gaye the Nobody was arguing with his wife,
Alberta Gaye, and Marvin Gaye the Superstar intervened. The argument
escalated, just as Marvin Gaye the Superstar had warned us it might
in his song “What's Going On?”, and Marvin the Superstar knocked
the old man Marvin the nobody down. Faced with the humiliation of
being knocked down by a person he had considered a piece of shit
worthless loser his whole life, Marvin the Nobody immediately goes
into his room, grabs a pistol, and comes back, and shoots two shots
right into Marvin Gaye II, killing him immediately. This reminds me a
lot about my old man, and it's not surprising to find out that
Kentucky is the
#1 State in the US for Mental Illness. Fascist psychopaths are
everywhere.
Marvin
Gaye the Superstar was pronounced DOA, dying one day before his 45th
Birthday (April 2). Marvin Gaye the Nobody was asked if he loved his
son, and snidely, he remarked, “Let's just say I didn't dislike
him.” Marvin the Nobody also had some weird habits regarding
wearing women's dresses, and having a sick perverted side to him,
that questions his sanity, and sexuality. Perhaps as a repressed Gay
Man, Marvin Gaye the Nobody couldn't ever actually bring himself to
say that he loved his Son, since he was a Man, and he would have felt
“gay” for doing so. I remember my Mother telling me that she knew
how to raise girls, you just love them, but she was perplexed by how
to raise a boy. Um, you love them all the same... that's how.
Alberta
paid for the bail bond of $30,000 to get Marvin Gaye the Nobody out
of trouble. After pleading “No Contest” to a Voluntary
Manslaughter case, and copping a Plea Bargain, Marvin the Nobody
Son-Murderer, was sentenced to 6 years in prison, which was
suspended, and instead, he got five years probation. So who knows if
he served 1 minute in prison for his crime. During the sentencing, a
deeply emotional and frail Marvin, Sr. told the court that he
regretted killing his son. As quoted during the sentencing, Marvin
the Nobody Son-Murderer said, “If I could bring him back, I would.
I was afraid of him. I thought I was going to get hurt. I didn't know
what was going to happen. I'm really sorry for everything that
happened.” One expert said that the reason why Marvin the Nobody
Son-Murderer killed his son, was because of the humiliation of having
his son push an old man down, and since Marvin the Nobody the
Son-Murderer only thought his Son should get hit, and beat up, and
disrespected, it was too much for Marvin Gaye the Nobody Son-Murderer
to handle, and so he murdered the only Marvin Gaye Superstar that
ever existed.
When
Macaulay Culkin was younger, his father was making him sleep on the
couch, and making his Superstar son live like a destitute. Like Joe
Jackson, Kit Culkin was living his dreams through his son, since both
of them were failures in their own lives. Macaulay Culkin,
eventually, got a lawyer, emancipated himself, and gained custody of
his siblings. Speaking of Kit Culkin, and Macaulay Culkin's book,
Junior,
Macaulay said, “I think there’s two different fathers that I
have. I have my father, and I have the one in my head. The real one
is gone and should be gone. But I think I was looking to put the one
in my head to rest. Kit Culkin would black out all the terrible
things that he did, and that hurt me more, because he’d go to bed
at night thinking he was a good person. People do bad things in their
lives. And those sort of things are forgivable. That’s half the
point of having confession in church—you need to be able to fess up
to what you’ve done. He just couldn’t. It was some kind of
mechanism in him or some kind of craziness. I knew from a very early
age that I better take notes on him. Notes on how not to be, notes on
how I don’t want to be when I grow up.” In a sense, Culkin has
aged in reverse.
When
looking at how Michael Jackson dealt with his personal issues,
Macaulay Culkin decided to go a different direction. “One
of the things that I always thought is that I could have turned out
that way. I’m a fairly sheltered person, but I could have just put
up a fortress around myself, bought a big chunk of land somewhere,
and said, ‘Fuck all y’all!’ But I made a decision when I was 14
that I was going to live life, where I think he made the opposite
decision. It’s a cool little world that he has, but at the same
time, it’s become a little more distant from reality.”
Michael
Jackson, deprived of a real children, and love, as a child, used his
entire life to give love to the millions of oppressed all around the
world. Michael Jackson even wrote a love song to a mouse named Ben,
because he loved and cared so much, about all living creatures. Joe
Jackson, however, shows no remorse for his assaults on his own
children. When asked about the abusive household, he said, “Yeah, I
beat him all the way to the bank.” Not only was he proud and glad
of what he did, but seemed to not acknowledge that he was the main
culprit in Michael's demented world. Child molestation charges aside
(which are serious charges), Michael had a Neverland Ranch that was
away from the world, much like William Randolph Hearst's Xanadu, the
newspaper' mogul's secret land resort. Michael Jackson turned inward
on himself, and Macaulay said that he was going to do the opposite,
and “live life”.
From
a young age Jackson was physically and mentally abused by his father,
enduring incessant rehearsals, whippings and name-calling. Jackson’s
abuse as a child affected him throughout his grown life. In one
altercation—later recalled by Marlon Jackson—Joseph held Michael
upside down by one leg and “pummeled him over and over again with
his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks”. Joseph would often
trip up, or push the male children into walls. One night while
Jackson was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom
window. Wearing a fright mask, he entered the room screaming and
shouting. Joseph said he wanted to teach his children not to leave
the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterward, Jackson
suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom.
“I never beat him,” Joe is quoted as saying. “I whipped him
with a stick and a belt. I never beat him. You
beat someone with a stick.” A Kentucky Cop told a friend of mine,
“You can beat your kids, just don't leave marks on them.” Child
slavery is still legal on “family” farms, and all abusive
slave-driving farmers know this.
Michael
Jackson named all three of his children "Michael"
(including his daughter): Prince Michael, Prince Michael II, and his
daughter, Paris Michael Katherine. Michael
Jackson took revenge on his father for years of abuse by cutting him
out of his will. The singer made no mention of Joe Jackson in a will
drawn up in 2002. He said he became so scared of Joe he would vomit
when he saw him. Mr Jackson later dismissed the claims, declaring:
“Yeah. He regurgitates all the way to the bank.”
Nathan
Maynard I shot Nathan Maynard II in Martin County, Kentucky. Tommy W.
Woodard II from Harlan County Kentucky shot and killed himself after
his girlfriend broke up with him. Why
would a person named Junior kill themselves ? There's many reasons.
“Junior” signifies ownership, as in, “my kids”, as if humans
are property, and it also immediately gives the young person an
inferiority complex since immediately he has to live in his father's
shadow. Since their Father thinks of him as a total schmuck, so will
the rest of the family, because to hate those folks who your father
hates, is how they think they will get to receive his love. The
reason why anybody shoots themselves (and yes, we've all thought
about it once or twice before) is because they see no other way out.
They're trapped. Gay people shoot themselves. Veterans returning from
the Afghanistan War are killing themselves, when faced with
reentering civilian life. Tommy W. Woodard Junior in Harlan County
Kentucky killed himself, June 2012.
George
Foreman, the only illegitimate son of a large family, was so
traumatized by standing out in this way, that he wanted no confusion
as to who his children were. They would always know who their daddy
was, so he named them all George. A bit extreme, but at least he
admits where it came from. It's clear how narcissistic Foreman
actually is, when you see that his children's names are George
Foreman Jr., George Foreman III,
George Foreman IV, George Foreman V and George Foreman VI. George
Foreman's daughters Freeda George and Georgetta might add that it
doesn't help to force things — girls named after their dads just
sometimes makes things awkward, as President Barack Obama's mother
might have said. Named for her father, her full name was Stanley Ann
Durham.
Charlie
Manson Sr., who was raised in Kentucky, as a racist Confederate
youth, living in a speakeasy with his underage mother, who had the
baby out of wedlock, the father was nowhere to be seen. Manson had a
son, Charlie Manson Jr. (aka Jay White), who eventually blew his
brains out. Lil Charlie Manson killed himself on June 29, 1993, on a
desolate section of highway in Burlington, Colorado, just west of the
Kansas state line. He died at 10:15am, on exit 438 on Interstate 70.
Rosalie Jean Willis, a waitress, is Charlie Manson Jr.'s mother, and
on his way back to Ohio, for some reason he pulled off the side of
the road and shot his self in the head. Charlie Manson Jr. used the
name “Jay White” in life, Charlie Manson Jr's son said: “He
just couldn't let it go,” reckons Freeman. “He couldn't live it
down. He couldn't live down who his father was.”
George
W. Bush, and Martin Luther King Jr. had to outlive their father's
shadows, and sometimes they are able to beat that massive pressure.
Sometimes not. Look at Charles Manson Jr, or Martin Luther King III,
who is a total tool, just dick riding on his father's coattails, and
MLK's legacy of the Promised Land is a torch that somebody else will
have to pick up. Levar Burton, the Reading Rainbow guy, was named
Levardis Robert Martyn Burton, Jr. Randall Hank Williams aka Hank
Williams, Jr. aka Bocephus was a Hank Williams impersonator for
several decades before finally breaking away, and working on his own
material. He's had bouts with drug and alcohol abuse. Al Gore is a
Junior, but has dropped that designation in his professional life.
John F. Kennedy Jr. had a good run, until he died, mysteriously.
Frank Sinatra also was a Junior. A Father's reputation can either act
as a shadow, or a light, depending on the Father. Being a descendent
of John F. Kennedy would be better than being Charles Manson's child.
Depending on who a Junior is born to can have completely different
consequences for each of their lives.
Henry
John Deutschendorf, Jr., a German-American also became famous, as
John Denver. John Denver sang the songs “Rocky Mountain High”,
“Leaving On A Jet Plane”, and “Country Roads”. John Denver's
old man was a Lieutenant Colonel for the Air Force named Henry John
Deutschendorf, Sr. Being an Air Force kid, having to move around
frequently, prevented John Denver from having any real friends, since
folks understood that Air Force kids really wasn't homespun. John
Denver's Irish Catholic and German maternal grandmother was the one
who imbued Denver with his love of music. In his autobiography, Take
Me Home,
Denver described his life as the eldest son of a family shaped by a
stern father who could not show his love for his children. In High
School, John Denver was an insecure mess, “a little round flat dot
with no edges and no depth”. John Denver was always trying to
please his father. But John Denver's fathers was never impressed with
his Son. “I always thought my old man wanted me to a football
player or a mechanic instead of a musician. He spanked (assaulted) me
once for not changing a tire right. I felt like I was stupid.”
Henry John Deutschendorf I admits that he was “kind of” rough on
the kids, BUT “it was kind of difficult to be commanding 40 or 50
officers everyday and then switch that off when I got into the
house.” One month, during his High School days, John Denver refused
to talk. Later on, John Denver ran away to Los Angeles, and when his
father reached him, he said that his son's eyes looked like an
animal's, since he was scared to death.
The
38th
President of the United States, Gerald Rudolph “Jerry” Ford II
was born Leslie Lynch King II. Because of Leslie Lynch King's
alcoholism and abusive behavior, Dorothy Gardner left him when
President Gerald Ford was 16 days old. Gerald Ford only saw his old
man once in High School. They had a superficial conversation, and
then Leslie handed President Gerald Ford $25, and left. A few days
after Gerald was born, Leslie Lynch King I came into the bedroom with
a Butcher knife, and threatened to kill them, her, the baby, and the
nurse. Leslie Lynch King Senior had a temper underneath his charm,
and beat his wife, President Gerald Ford's Mother, several times.
Plus he was a liar. Not surprisingly, Leslie King refused to pay
child support. Later on, Dorothy Gardner King married Gerald Rudolff
Ford, when President Gerald Ford was 4 years old. They called Leslie
King I's son “Gerald Ford Jr.”, and then when President Gerald
Ford turned 22, he had it legally changed to honor his Step-Father,
who had raised him. Gerald Ford described his biological father as “a
carefree, well-to-do man who didn't really give a damn about the
hopes and dreams of his firstborn son”.
President
Bill Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III, named after
William Jefferson Blythe II, a traveling salesman who died in an
automobile accident three months before Bill was born, in Hope,
Arkansas. “Billy” Clinton adopted his Stepfather's surname when
he was 15 years old. Roger Clinton I was a gambler and an alcoholic,
who regularly abused his wife and half-brother, Roger Clinton II (a
Junior), to the point where Bill Clinton had to intervene, by
threatening violence.
A
cousin of mine, John Kunkle, was born to Alice Gripshover and John A.
Wagner, but after the Divorce, Alice change little John Wagner Jr.'s
name to John Kunkle, after her new husband, Lawrence Kunkle. So John
Kunkle did what President Gerald Ford did (and later Bill Clinton),
and adopted his Stepfather's name. Another cousin of mine, Mike
Dearing II, changed his name BACK to his original father's name,
after his Mother had changed his name to Lemming, his Stepfather's
name. So John Kunkle and Mike Dearing (and Robert Dearing, and Joseph
Dearing) took the opposite approach of each other. One adopted his
stepfather's name, whereas the other threw off his stepfather's name,
and readopted his biological father's name. Which one is right ?
Ultimately, people should be called whatever the fuck they want to be
called, so both of them are right. A Stepfather could be worse, or
better, than the Biological Father, and a person can choose to be
called by either of their names, or anything else they want to be
called.
Tom
Cruise, born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, grew up in poverty, in a
Catholic family dominated by an abusive father whom Cruise has
described as a “Merchant of Chaos”. Tom Cruise's father, Thomas
Cruise Mapother III, used to beat up Tom Cruise, as a child, like the
bully/coward he is. Tom Cruise says of his abusive father: “He was
the kind of person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you. It
was a great lesson in my life—how he’d lull you in, make you feel
safe and then, bang! For me, it was like, 'There's something wrong
with this guy. Don't trust him. Be careful around him.”
Kurt
Vonnegut, Jr. was born in Indianapolis, IN to third-generation
German-American parents, Kurt Vonnegut Sr and Edith Lieber. When Kurt
was 21 years old, on Mother's Day in 1994, Edith Lieber took too many
sleeping pills, and went out like Marilyn Monroe. His father
virtually gave up on life, and from these origins, Kurt Junior
learned a “bone-deep sadness”. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. said that the
only difference between Hitler and George W. Bush, is that Hitler was
elected. Vonnegut was captured at the Battle of the Bulge, and was in
an underground prison when the bombing of Dresden was unleashed. He
was a part of the 106th
Infantry
Division in England.
Recently,
in Eastern Kentucky, William “Clyde” Gibbons III was caught in
Kentucky, who killed 3 women.

Robert
Lemming likes to yell at his wife, and treats her like dogshit. Named
his baby, his property, Robert Jr, and calls him RJ, like RJ
Reynolds. Robert acting a fool, and when Mom spoke out about it,
Rosie said she should leave. Rosie also told Bill to leave when he
was hitting Robert. She was right about that one. She's wrong about
letting Robert become a Bill. Teresa said that similar violence
happened in Rosie's home, so maybe that's Rosie's problem. She had
lots of power, then her children grew away, and now she's doesn't
have that power, plus there's the “empty nest” syndrome. She
didn't have the power, nor did she have her children. The faces of
abused children, in pictures, are uniformly sad, and haunted looking.
RJ has that same haunted, sad look. That's because he's getting beat
up, and nobody gives a fuck about him. Feeling inferior is one thing,
but being told, directly, that you're inferior, and being smashed by
violence... no, these beasts aren't civilized, nor is this love. I
don't see any good coming from this situation. They don't care for
his body, so how could they claim they care about his dreams ? His
thoughts ? His philosophy ? They don't, nor will they, ever.

I
am not a fan of “juniors”, or the parents who puts that label on
their children. They want them to have an inferiority complex. No
real man will let any other man call them “Junior”. I don't think
any child should have to put up with being Little X. He's not Little
X, he is a person in his own right, not just a clone or reflection of
X and therefore should have a name and identity of his very own.
People who named their children after themselves, in a culture that
celebrates individuality, is only showing how egotistical and selfish
and narcissistic those people are. They are telling the world that
they only love themselves, and that's it. A kid already has the
parent's last name, and he or she is their own person - why shouldn't
they get their own name? A 'junior' or number tacked on at the end
only makes it worse - it goes from being egotistical to downright
insulting (sort of like saying the kid is somehow less than the
parent).
Some
say that naming a kid Jr is a way to carry on the family name. No,
the best way to carry on the family tradition is to build
bonds, share stories, and capture family history in meaningful ways.
Take pictures. Record oral histories. Keep some symbolic belongings.
Also, have a loving home and environment for them to grow up in. Plus
there's residual
reverberations. How arrogant it is for person to name their children
after themselves. That's a decision that reeks of a peculiar
overreaching self-importance. As if it's not enough that children
share their parents' genes, some parents think their kids should bear
the same first name! What makes any parent think she or he is that
special? Plus having same-name kids shows how stupid the parents are,
and demonstrates their total lack of creativity.
