Michael Jackson --> Black or White?

If you were asked the question, what would you say to someone who had never seen or heard of him before?
I know he is technically black but ive always wondered what exactly happened to him? Ive heard so many stories about why his skin colour changed i don't know what to believe.

It don't matter whether he's black or white.

Sorry.

there is actually a skin condition where your skin changes colour my friend had it it can also make your skin go all patchy like a cow, as far as i know wacko had the same condition, he did get tonnes of surgery done on his face thats obvious

ok, but what kind of skin condition turns you from a black man into a white woman?

Catsmokinpot · 14-06-2005 9:19pm

the kind i hope i dont get

Edit:
all joking aside tbh i feel kind of sorry for the chap
he had a really ****ed up childhood

people arent the way they are by choice its their upbringing and he had a really ****ty one id say

we can all take the piss now but you try being in his shoes growing up...

I never said it did matter, just asked what happened to him!!

Khalim · 14-06-2005 9:21pm

i thought that those were lyrics to a song of his?

Creamy Goodness · 14-06-2005 9:23pm

he was quoting a lyric from one of his songs, probably for humour purposes.

it worked on me anyways

rymus · 14-06-2005 9:24pm

yes.. but everyone in the audience didnt get that fact at first glance

Bubba · 14-06-2005 9:29pm

sorry

Jonny Arson · 14-06-2005 9:49pm

Well I would say.......... white.... no black.... no white.......... no black...... errrgghhhh THE GUY IS A FREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

padser · 14-06-2005 9:55pm

def a freak. cant believe he managed to get off scott free and get away with it as well . One of the jurers afterwards saying ' she clicked her fingers at us and i just thought dont click your finger at me lady'. What a ridiculas reason for aquitting jackson

It was a terrible album altogether.

Oh, his ethnicity. He's black. Yellow Man,a regae musician, is a black albino, even though his skin is white, he is still black.

DrIndy · 14-06-2005 10:01pm

There is a disease called vitiligo which causes depigmentation and it is more obvious on people with darker skin. Its relatively common. However, your colour doesn't just fade - but goes patchy initially. I have never seen any photos of him with patchy coloured skin.

There is also no association with sudden rhinological changes associated with vitiligo.

You can depigment your skin artificially though and blame it on vitiligo or indeed he may be telling the truth and have depigmentation patches and the decision was taken to depigment ALL of him to blend it in........

He's Whack...

Good looking chap...

Thumper Long · 14-06-2005 10:42pm

tbh who cares, i think he has had enough air time over the last year and deserved his lonely old neverland ranch, maybe its called the neverland ranch because no matter what happens there it never happened, just my €0.02 worth
