An easily identifiable Michael Jackson lyric was the basis of a rather unfunny attempt at humor by a well-known fake news outlet.<\/h4>\n

Reporting<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

On January 30 2019, Facebook page “The Blacksphere” shared<\/a> the following meme, purportedly depicting a Virginia principal named Mamasai Mamakusa:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The meme was likely outrage-bait which implied that the nonexistent principal’s hijab constituted a form of religious expression, one she supposedly deemed acceptable for herself but not Christian students. Text added to what appeared to be a stock image of a woman in a hijab read:<\/p>\n

\n

THIS IS MAMASAI MAMAKUSA, A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL IN RICHMOND, VA<\/p>\n

SHE HAS EXPELLED 2 KIDS FOR WEARING A CRUCIFIX AROUND THEIR NECKS SAYING, “THERE IS NO PLACE FOR RELIGION AT A SCHOOL”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The first clue that the meme was not on the up-and-up was the fact that it was very clearly a stock image<\/a>, and not one taken from a news story about a specific incident in Richmond, Virginia. The second was arguably more subtle, but still noticeable. Mamasai Mamakusa was the purported name of the depicted woman, and was also easily recognizable as a lyric<\/a> of sorts from the Michael Jackson song<\/a> “Wanna Be Startin’ Something”:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Help me sing it<\/p>\n

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa<\/p>\n

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa<\/p>\n

Help me sing it babe<\/p>\n

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa<\/p>\n

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa<\/p>\n

Sing it to the world, sing it out loud<\/p>\n

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa<\/p>\n

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However, the most telling aspect of the Mamasai Mamakusa meme was its origin, a July 2018 post on a satirical Facebook page<\/a> called “America’s Last Line of Defense.”<\/p>\n
