There aren’t two Michael Jacksons!
“The main thing that I hate most is ignorance, like the prejudice problems of America”
-Michael Jackson
Lets set the record straight
When people speak of Michael Jackson, they tend to speak of him as two beings: the “black Michael Jackson” and the “white Michael Jackson”. Yes, there is a white man by the name of Michael Jackson who is an accomplished radio host, but there is ONLY ONE KING OF POP, AND HE IS BLACK AND PROUD OF IT!
The king of pop was black, never stopped being black, never stopped liking black people,and always will be a black person. So I am going to walk you through FOUR LAME EXCUSES OFFENDING MJ’S BLACK PRIDE and why they are invalid.
___________________________________________
*This blog is primarily for the ignorant black folks, such as Katt Williams, that blindly insist the notion that Michael “sold out” when in reality he’s probably done more for the black community than most black entertainers today.
After his passing I was apaulled by how the white media claimed that Michael some how “left” us or that somehow we’re trying to “re-claim” him in our community.
It was annoying how people were upset by the fact that Al Sharpton was at his memorial when in fact he was invited to speak and he and Michael had been long time friends.
“I was a teenager when I first met Michael…throughout the decades, we formed a close kinship that many people may never be able to comprehend”
-Al Sharpton
It was absurd how Bill O’reilly proclaimed that Michael wasn’t a black icon when Michael is clearly 1.Black 2.an icon. So let’s ask ourselves,
“WHEN DID MICHAEL JACKSON EVER LEAVE US?”
This is whole “sell-out” theory has been subliminally fed to us by the mainstream media.
We we’re so caught up thinking he was trying to be white that we IGNORED him when he was BOLDLY BEING BLACK.
Now I COULD use all of the money he has donated to the United Negro College Fund and other black charities as an example of his dedication to the black community, but any carless rich white person could have done that for their own image. But I’m not going to do that. A man must be judged by the things that are hard to do than by the things that anyone can do. Michael Jackson has proved far beyond measure, through the lyrics in his songs, the content of his music videos, interviews, and his activism, from the time his skin was caramel brown up until it turned ivory white, that he has always been by our side.
…so before we get started on the things he’s done for us, lets talk about the SORRY EXCUSES THE NAY-SAYERS often use.
SORRY EXCUSE#1:The lame “BLEACHED SKIN” rumor
**if you know mj has Vitiligo you can skip this section**
OMG! Numerous dermatologist, make-up artists, family members, close friends, and Michael himself have been trying to prove that he was suffering from a skin disease called Vitiligo FOR YEARS…. But still no one believed him. Why not? Were they just so used to hearing weird rumors about him that it was just too realistic and normal for them to believe? But I don’t blame people them for their ignorance because the media has done a great job keeping it a secret and making mj out to be a “Wacko Jacko”. For example: When mj told Martin Bashir that he had the disease, he cut it out of the interview. BUT you wanna know what I find odd? The coroner clearly confirmed on Michael Jackson’s autopsy report that he had marks of Vitiligo on his chest, and still no one believes him. How long are we going to keep condemning Michael for a disease he had no control over?
SORRY EXCUSE #2. Plastic Surgery and Hair texture
Now, let’s not act like Michael Jackson is the only black celebrity who has had some work done [I ain’t naming no names]. And white folks, don’t act like some of your people don’t inject collagen into their lips and get fake tans. However that’s beside the point.
People often say that he got the plastic surgery to look “white” or to change his race without saying the same thing about other celebrities who’ve altered their appearance through cosmetic surgery. That may have been the outcome of his appearance (although he still looks black to me), but those definitely weren’t his intentions. He didn’t say to his doctor “Make me look as white as possible”.
THIS IS THE REAL ISSUE. Little do people realize is that growing up, mike’s nickname was “big nose”. Michael told several reporters that he was constantly teased about his acne and the shape of his nose that he would wash his face in the dark. But I think that that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Something was going on or being said in the Jackson family that made Janet, Latoya, and Mike feel they need to get some work done. It must have been so SEVERE that no matter how many girls screamed out his name, no matter how much money he had, no matter how many nose jobs he got, like a girl with anorexia, IT JUST WASN’T SMALL ENOUGH. We’ll never know the details, but it’s obvious that self esteem wasn’t promoted enough in their household and we shouldn’t criticize or pass judgment on him and his plastic surgery because WE JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT WAS IN HIS HEAD. It’s that kind of teasing that made sensitive MJ feel like he needed to change his appearance in the first place so we should stop. Oh and the perm means nothing. It’s just a change of hairstyle. I guess Oprah, Al Sharpton, and Michelle Obama are trying to be white also…
SORRY EXCUSE #3: People think he only had JUNGLE FEVER…WRONG!
Another poor excuse for people to use against his blackness…. Even IF Michael Jackson DID only date white women, it still wouldn’t be a valid excuse because so many other black entertainers, politicians, and activist have dated and married white women. That’s what happens when your rich and you live in Hollywood. Especially when you reach a certain point in success, your surrounded by nothing but them or at least it’s a lot easier to find one. But once again, THE wool has been pulled over the public’s eyes by the media.
It’s no coincidence that the media has never talked about the women of color in his romantic life;
his obsession,deep love, and adoration for Diana Ross
- EBONY 1982
Ebony: Any Black ladies in your life?
Michael: “Sure, but you wouldn’t take me seriously.”
Ebony: Try me.
Michael: “It’s Diana Ross. I love her.”
Ebony: Do you mean as a “big sister?”
Michael: “No, that’s not what I mean. See, I told you that you wouldn’t take me seriously.”
Ebony: You’re not saying you’d like to marry Diana Ross, are you?
Michael: “Oh yeah, I’m saying that.”
Ebony: But she’s so much older than you. You mean you feel something other than close friendship for her?
Michael: “Uh huh. And what does age have to do with it? Look at it this way: how old would you be if you didn’t even know how old you are?”
his love affair with Stephanie Mills
his “close and intimate friend” Shana Mangatal
and his CONSTANT EFFORT to cast DARK SKINNED WOMEN IN his music videos (i.e. Naomi Campbell, Iman, Ola Ray, ect.)
But we always hear about Brooke shields and Tatum O’neal. What about Stephanie Mills?
Or Better Yet, What about Grace Rwamba? The woman he hired to help raise his children since their birth! It is even speculated that they had a romantic affair, but there is no solid proof of that.
White people are just as guilty of using this excuse as black people are. I once saw a conservative fox news commentator say that Mike left the black community because he only dated white women. So I guess Robert De Niro and Bill Maher left the white community for dating/marrying black women.
SORRY EXCUSE #4: The biology of his children
Once again, white folks wanna act like some of their people don’t mail order our African babies and carry them around like purses, but if Michael Jackson has white LOOKING children (notice I said “white looking” and not “white”) he’s abandoning us. But has it ever been confirmed that those kids aren’t his? And didn’t TMZ start this rumor?
Now i am just as guilty as everyone else of believing the common media rumor that he is not the father. However, when i weighed out the facts verses the rumours, this is what i came up with:
I’m so tired of ignorant black folks people in general saying those kids are “too white” to be his because don’t you remember a time in our American history when black biracial citizens were passing for “white”?
Hasn’t there been a time when you found out some one was half black and you were like “WHAT?!”
Haven’t you heard of a set of biracial twins where one comes out black and the other comes out white?
People act like biracial children are supposed have the same look (light skinned with curly hair) But common sense tells me that whenever two opposite looking parents has a child, the child can come out looking like one, the other, or in between. BUT THESE ARE THE FACTS.

PRINCE 1 HAS VITILIGO!!!!
-
Latoya even confirmed it on an Italian talk show. That’s no coincidence that a disease that effects only 2% of the population just so happens to effect a father and his son.
i didn’t make this video btw.
and please dont be skeptical of latoya. she’s lied in the past due to a controlling relationship with her ex-husband. He threatened to kill her and her family if you didn’t tell lies about their family. however, in recent months, she’s proven herself reliable.
