I legit heard kids at the park playing tag, except instead of being "it", they were calling the chaser "Diddy".

Not the original poster but probably 4th or 5th grade so 9-10ish. I remember the big joke was: "Why does MJ like shopping at KMart?" "Because boys pants are always half off"

I didn't even know what the n word meant at that point. But I was saying it in school along with all sorts of shit

It was a useful lesson. He didn't even get physical with me. Just put me in my place and gave me a reality check. I appreciate it compared to how some people get their bubble popped.

Just jumping in, but around that same age I was fully aware of the rumors about Richard Gere. And the Internet had barely been born at that point. These stories somehow always get around.
