Michael Jackson?had his skin whitened?

Really?? I thought he had his skin whitened too. Even if it's true, not a big deal anyway. There're also many people out there having their body or face done, it's just he did it over. I honestly don't care how he looks, I still like his songs & dance :)

Really? I used to believe he had an operation to make his skin white!

I think you would have been just a baby when it happened! I know about this illness, and I have seen it happen to people. But I remember Michael Jackson as a child, and I was watching television with my mom and family one evening, when this beautiful lady walks out on stage! There was a big uproar from the audience and it seemed like the whole world had gone mad! I had a little baby at the time and was not certain what was happening. I asked my mom who was the pretty lady? She looked at me and someone told me that the "pretty lady" was Michael Jackson! I could have cried! Maybe I did. He had some surgery and his nose has never been the same. His skin color may have changed due to albinism, maybe he was offered treatments and at the same time got a nose job! All I know, is that he looked so different! His hair was way different too. I am very glad that his music was the same or better than ever! Can you moonwalk yet?

I believe the skin condition he has is the same as I have. It's called vitiligo. I have a naturally white skin but since I was a baby I have been losing the pigment in patches all over my body. This does not show but if my skin gets suntanned these patches stay white. Obviously in a dark-skinned person they show up more. I believe you can get treatment to make all the skin go white, which Michael Jackson may have done. In some cases the condition will make all the skin go white. I have met other people with this condition. It is not curable but does no harm other than making your skin very sensitive to sunlight.

someone told me that he really wants to be white cause of racists, he puts all sorts of skin whitening stuff that made him had this disease that you've just said earlier.. ^_^ other than that, i don't know anything else bout him but he's a great dancer and singer.. ^_^

well even I have heard that he is a black..he had plastic sergery and had his skin transformed to white...he may have done it taking racism into consideraton...dont know whether its true or not...
