In 1978, Michael walked into an antique store. Bill bray (his friend and bodyguard) was with his as always, but he went to the bathroom. When he left the bathroom, he couldn’t find Michael anywhere and ended up finding him in a back room, tied up. It turns out that the store’s owner had ties to the Ku Klux Klan (a racist and anti-Sematic group). This is an example of how Michael suffered racism firsthand. At the time, the Ku Klux Klan brutally murdered black people, activists and Jews. Thanks to bill bray, Michael suffered no harm. Years later, in his video “Black or White” Michael makes an aggressive attack on this organization openly.
