[edit] The Panther Sequence
Whoaaa... Back up a second here. I'm pretty sure the author has got this backwards, but I don't have a linnk to back it up. The original version had all the racist stuff, and then they were upset so they took it off the screen. That's why later versions, when they played it extended, looked really stupid, because he was just smashing things for no reason. That makes more sense than adding in the racist stuff after. - Darkhawk
[edit] LTB
The rap is apparently performed by "LTB". There appears to be zero information on the internet about who this is. Anyone know? --87.82.24.11 01:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 05:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inspired by Queen's One Vision?
Can the main riff of Black or White be inspired by the Queen song One Vision? I haven't read anything about this on the net, but I think there's a striking resembelance between the main riff of Black or White, and the riff that Brian May plays at 1:25 in the song, right after Freddie Mercury has sung the line "I'm gonna tell you there's no black and no white". With that particular line of lyrics, and the similarity of the riffs, I really think this has to be more than mere coincidence.
Now, I know that MJ and Queen were good friends, so is it possible that MJ put this riff in his song as a small homage to Queen? It can't be the other way around, since One Vision was released in 1985. Any thoughts on this? Lappado 12:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
