He was Brown collored the entire duration of youth. His skin started to get paled gradually since 1982.

I would just say, that MJ won't be half the artist he is if he wasn't a black man. My opinion, my true gut feeling is that when it comes to song and dance, especially in the genres of R&b and Funk, the afro-Americans can do it, and express it like no other race.
It is besides the point how Michael 'looks' from the standpoint of his skin tone. He has the SOUL of a black man, and expresses that quality via his art. People may not UNDERSTAND it, or even how it works, but once Michael creates, or this attribute is channeled through him, the effect is unmistakable, palpable, and highly irresistible.
Michael's music and art is a medium through which he expresses this 'black power', and this can only be possible because Michael himself has stated many times that he is proud of his racial and cultural heritage.
Michael may have the whitest skin today for all I care, but to me he has always been that prodigiously talented black kid who grew up in Gary, Indiana.

I think ... simply ... MJ is a human above all. Before all the stories about him, he was with the eyes of all one of the biggest artist of the world .... Do you remember ? And before that .... he was a child and this story ... nobody know what it was. If we can judge a human just for one or two acts of his life .... we're not better than the others. Everybody obstruct everyone ... Black people .... White people ... American ... European ... Men ... Women ... boy ... girl ... but nobody know who are who ... if MJ is less than one human ... everybody are less than one human ... the résult is simple, we are all the same. You like Michael Jackson .....
