Interesting that you posted the last pic, which is of a person with vitiligo that uses makeup to match his pre-vitiligo skin tone and not the other way around.

I would be interested in seeing some pics of high-melanined people with vitiligo that use makeup to match their diseased skin, the way Michael matches his makeup.

Hands down funniest post in here, by far.

Virtigo...

Clearly this whole entire thread escaped you.

Wow,those pics are dramatic Vitiligo is a sad disease,for those folks who really have it.

PurpleCharm said:

That's a very good point. The man's face at least is over 80% white yet he still chooses to use makeup to match his original colour.

whatsgoingon said:

assuming that Michael really has this disease....it's odd that he would use make-up to match the lightened portion of his skin.This is why I said that the vitiligo story is "too convenient".It gives him an excuse to look the way he really wants to look,which is....white.After the nose jobs and other facial surgeries to remove his black features,the lightening of his skin (regardless of how it happened) was just the next logical step.How tragic.

it's your opinion, but that's exaggerating...oh and you spelt her name wrong it's Jocelyn Wildenstein

r u african american? no offense but u sound it just in the way u write about michael and his skin color.

i say it's old news get over it

mimi07 said:

I just wanna add to this thread to say "African-American" is so politically correct. It's "Black".

Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud!

Timmy84 said:

Hell MFing yeah!!! I grew up on that song! African-American...please. Since when did "Black" become a bad word?

PleasurePrinciple said:

all our lives, the diaspora, us; this is crazy; the vitaligo doubters are really funny; they debating blotch patterns; you aint gotta believe me; i'm just stating the obvious; its like Kat Williams ranting like he was there; why does it always have to be the absolute worse case? predatory, gotta get somebody, nonsense

whatsgoingon said:

I wonder if someone will respond to my post. I would love for someone to explain why Michael goes to the section of the makeup counter that is for white people.

Instead of using makeup that looks like Mac's Studio Tech NC15, he should be wearing something that resembles Mac's Studio Tech NC45.

mimi07 said:

What???
Please explain your post.

uPtoWnNY said:

Amen!

I cant stand the term African-American.

Hmm,I think MJ had some issues with the plastic surgery and everything but unlike most, I don't link that to his skin issues. I think he had vitiligo.
People say, 'If he had vitiligo, why was his skin so even?' but i don't think it was.. Even look at this picture of him and whitney.. (look at his hands, his hairline, the top of his ear,, near his eye..- his skin wasn't even- looks like he was covering up the discoloration with badly applied powder..)



About his kids, I don't know- people who've seen Blanket say he loks like a paler version of lil mj with longer, straight hair (even that woman (journalist) who was invited to travel with them for a while in japan said it in one of her articles..) But then Prince I with the blonde hair is wierd (bleached?)..

I wont say they're not his because people say my sister and i dont look like we belong to our father becuase they think we look white- (which gets annoying when people are always like ..

just because they don't look like typical mixed kids doesn't mean theyre not biologically his..


US (the girls lol):



Our Dad (the older dude):

And let me guess -- you think Michael Jackson looks good because he's trying look white (which apparently is what you are).

You sound like one of those zealots who think MJ's looks are natural and not the obvious results of plastic surgery and an apparent self-hatred of his appearance.

So yes, I am a black American -- and this black American is telling you to STFU.

soFRESHH said:

It's a moot point, because court documents revealed years ago that MJ is not the biological father of the children with Debbie Rowe. The fact that the man would say he fathered two obviously white children speaks of his race complex.

The odds of Michael Jackson having three children who bore no physical resemblance to him is the problem. It looks like your sisters have taken on more of the characteristics of one parent -- your mother (which I have seen in all children, not just those of biracial parentage), while you seem to take on more of the characteristics of your father. Even then, it looks like your sisters' children have some tint of melanin in their skin -- MJ's children are pale white.

There always have been other logistics about MJ's personal "relationships" that never added up. For starters, I find it hard to believe that a woman who gave birth to two children would give them up in the rather routine and clinical way Rowe did without it being some sort of arranged situation. I don't recall seeing many pictures of MJ and Rowe together publicly, but there always was this sense of coldness around them when I did see them. I'm also skeptical on the "Blanket's mother" thing (who according to MJ is black and who has never been seen).

Also, MJ has been doing the bed-sharing with children thing for years, so I have a hard time fathoming that he's in the bed with those kids plus a wife or he can go from acting like child and having slumber parties to having a sexual relationship with a woman at the drop of a hat.

If they can't come up with an explanation for that then it's a de facto admission of defeat, since that has always been the most obvious counter claim to the whole vitiligo story.

Najee said:

If this is true then it's basically a smoking gun that ends the argument once and for all. What more can you tell us about these documents and why hasn't it been mentioned earlier?

midnightmover said:

I personally have heard about this only here at the org, and was told later on that it was a "rumour". I´d love to see the document though and if such document exists, than I think it might be available on the net. I´ve came across lots of stuff on the net including Debbie and MJ´s divorce papers, LMP/Mj divorce papers, the contract betweem MJ and the first accuser etc. I wanna see the document.

Najee said:

you couldn't be more wrong...so chill i was just asking

i'm african american, and i know michaels looks aren't natural..well most of it.he wasn't happy with something so he changed it...so what, it's his face and it's already been done.pissing about it won't change anything.

Exactly. They are quick to run up in a thread and rant when someone says that MJ doesnt have vitiligo. But I have never ever seen any of them address why MJ has chosen to NOT wear makeup that matches his pre-vitiligo skin tone. How convenient for a man that is obviously struggling with identity issues to use vitiligo as a way to look like a white person...by coupling the white makeup with a bone straight wig, multiple nose jobs and facial surgeries.
[Edited 8/28/07 15:45pm]

So... Michael Jackson had plastic surgery? His appearance changed? I am shocked.

And your point is???? Looks like someone has caught an attitude because of what I posted. I am pretty sure that it I had made a MJ bandwagon comment, you would have never ran up in this thread and posted what you just did.

Since you want to play Columbo, show me where I had posted in a MJ-related thread prior to that post you just quoted.

Rodya24 said:

I quoted your post before you did your edit.

PurpleCharm said:

It is fine. I would have called you or anyone else out even if you had made a Michael Jackson bandwagon comment. I think whether or not one is attracted to or repulsed by Michael Jackson the man, and no matter how irritating these threads on his personal life and appearance are, I believe almost no one on the org is completely apathetic to the topics generated by the name "Michael Jackson."

Good comeback.

PurpleCharm said:

Thanks. I think what both of us can agree on is that Michael Jackson is an interesting man.
