It's almost impossible for a member of the Jackson family to walk through an airport or down the street, see TMZ and not get bombarded with questions pertaining to their late brother, Michael Jackson.

Well, that's exactly what happened to Jermaine Jackson as he made his way through LAX yesterday. And naturally, TMZ was there to ask some questions ... but not about him, of course. Please, that'd be crazy!

Since Justin Bieber has been making headlines with his racist comments as of late, caught on video, the celebrity gossip site decided it was best to ask Jermaine questions regarding his brother and the Biebs being friends.

While he does seem to believe the two would have been friendly, Jackson is candid about his thoughts regarding Bieber, stating, "Michael would have straightened him out. Michael would have spoken to him like a father figure." He continued to tell the photog that his brother would have put Bieber in his place and told him, "Hey, you gotta cool it. Calm down."

When asked what Jackson would have thought about the pop star's recent videos, the King of Pop's brother responded, "I don't know. That's kind of tough."

Hmm, so did we just get Michael's thoughts on Justin Bieber or Jermaine's?

While it's hard to tell, we're not really sure how friendly to two would have been today. But Jermaine Jackson and Justin Bieber ... doesn't quite look like a friendship is growing there.
