uh hello?
I think anyone who would go to the extreme that he has to be something he's not(white) and to have a bunch of kids sleeping in his bed is just preverted. Something is seriously wrong.

It would be nice if u took just a few minutes to find out the facts before u boldly give ur opinion on things u know nothing of.
First of all, it is widely known that MJ has a skin condition called Vitiligo, where the body's immune system acts against the pigment cells....making the person lose pigment from the skin gradually over time. The reason I know this is because he has said this many times in the past and I am a doctor myself so I know about the condition. Initially, you lose the pigment in patches. It probably started when he was quite young. But because the Jackson 5 always wore long-sleeved, buttoned-up shirts it wasn't' noticeble. Maybe the one-hand glove appeared because it spread to the hand?? I don't know....just a thought.
Anyway, MJ's mother has said that he eventually decided to lighten the rest of the skin as there was too much of light skin to cover up with make-up as the condition progressed. To my knowledge, there aren't any creams or treatments available today to make the skin on the entire body bleached-white. You could lighten the skin using some treatments.....but they are often temporary and you can't fully whiten the skin.
MJ has said he's always been conscious of his appearance as he was teased by his father as a teenager. So to lose colour like that must have been even more difficult. I'm not surprised he prefered to live in seclusion and with children....as they don't usually judge people based on appearance. I believe his appearance, his super-stardom and eccentric nature just made him a sitting duck for these kinds of allegations. People were more than willing to believe he was guilty....simply because it fitted with his image. He's also donated approximately $300 million in charity and supports over 40 organisations. But do we hear about that??
