Written And Composed by Michael Jackson Little info about song: Lyrics deemed anti-Semitic by Jewish groups: Jew me, sue me, everybody do me; Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me. The idea that these lyrics could be deemed objectionable is extremely hurtful to me, and misleading. The song in fact is about the pain of prejudice and hate, and is a way to draw attention to social and political problems. I very much regret and apologise from the bottom of my heart if I have hurt anyone?s feelings in conveying my own. Michael further stated he would re-record the song, changing jew me to do me and kike me to strike me, and that apology stickers would be affixed to all existing copies of HISTORY. New pressings of HISTORY in 1996 saw jew me changed to chew me, and kike me changed to hike me. I'm talking about myself as the victim, Michael later explained. David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Stephen Spielberg, Mike Milkin these are my friends. They?re all Jewish, so how does that make sense? I was raised in a Jewish community.
