For Michael to join the Nation of Islam, he would have to give up the Nation of Michael, and I don't think he's ready to do that just yet!
He's joing the nation of islam to prove he's black --- because if he's not black then Johnny Cochrane can't play the race card
So true. Before he had nobody supporting him but by joining the nation of Islam he immediately gets the backing he needs. Good play by MJ's counsel.
