so if Garcelle's baby in blue (at top) was put on a magazine cover alone0- you would assume that he was black?

if you say yes- yous a damn lie

What would make anyone think she's biracial? That girl is AFRICAN...proud of it too.

They are beautiful kids!

Timmy84 said:

They definetly have some recent white blood in them, Joe has blue eyes and is a bit lighter then the rest of the Jacksons excluding Latoya who has always been pale.

Cloudbuster said:

Having dark hair and Paris's hair not being straight doesnt show them to be any more black. Majority of white people dont have light hair, and many don't have straight hair

Arnotts said:

I thought Joe had green eyes.

Cloudbuster said:

Like MJ as a child or MJ as an adult? Meow.

My daughter still thinks I'm pulling her leg when I tell her that the kid in the Jackson 5 is MJ. As would any normal child I guess.

And I still can't believe that the Chinese actually thought the MJ look was cool. All those stupid face-masks...

Timmy84 said:

same thing. greeny-blue. The point was they're light eyes.

Arnotts said:

And thats another thing I've come to think about recently, why is it always perpetuated in the media that Latoya bleached her skin also when it's clearly obvious by looking at pictures of Latoya in her youth that she has always been that light?

Arnotts said:

Are you serious?

How can you make a definite statement like that based on someone having blue eyes?

Arnotts said:

That's the thing though. When 'Toya was a young girl growing up in Gary, she looked like her brother Marlon and father Joseph: a LIGHT-SKINNED, honey complexed black girl. In the 1990s, she used powder and some kind of makeup to LOOK like her skin-diseased stricken brother. So I'm not buying the pale story. She black, lol.

That's as worse as some darker-skinned black folks claiming his mother is half-European when that could've only been part of her ancestry (as it was for Chris Tucker's family).

Arnotts said:

Someone should ask JOSEPH what color are his eyes. I can't believe that of all the Jacksons, he's gotta be silent.

But I know damn well Joe, like SMOKEY ROBINSON, has green eyes.

Hell maybe his mother or father was part-Irish or something. We don't know, the Jacksons never told us their ancestry.

I'm assuming Joe Jackson did in his book, "The Jacksons", but then again maybe not.

Here's the kid Michael doesn't take car of.

That's Janet daughter with debarge

You could always tell the Jackson kids by their ethnicities:

All of Rebbie's children are black (Stacy has or had an Asian boyfriend and that's how Stacey's son London Blue came out the way he did).

Jackie's son is half black and half Japanese (his mother was a "BLASIAN - aka Black and Asian"). His daughter was adopted.

Tito's children are black (African-American and Dominican Republican).

Jermaine's children from Hazel's marriage are black, his children with girlfriend Margaret Maldonado are half-black, part-Irish and part-Mexican, his children with ex-wife Alejandra are half-black and half-Middle Eastern.

All of Marlon's children are black.

Michael's? Eh, let's just assume they're half-black and half-Jewish (but it's still a debate).

Randy's children with Eliza are black and (hey what was Eliza mixed with anyway? Serbian?) and his children with Alejandra are half-black and half-Middle Eastern.

...If I'm not mistaken.

All the other Jacksons you can tell they got their parents' blood though.

lilgish said:

Oh shit.

But you do have a point. She and Janet do kind of favor each other.

Michael's grandfather Samuel


Joe


Michael's maternal grandfather Prince

Timmy84 said:

When I get Brandi's number, I'll let you know the truth

bboy87 said:

bboy87 said:

OK, so which of the grandfathers is supposed to have the vitiligo? Samuel Jackson?

No way re: Brandi and Janet. I think Brandi is about my age (26) too old to be Janet's kid.

Ellie said:

Yeah Brandi was born in 1982 so yeah...

Timmy84 said:

sam Jackson looks bi-racial- his features are def not 100% white or black- Michael son actually favors him more than Michael

Evvy said:

So you don't believe the vitiligo story about Mr. Samuel Jackson?

He does look biracial though.

Ellie said:

you know i was kidding what that stirring up that old rumor.
