Does it Matter if Your Black or White??

       Hey everyone, I wanted to talk about a subject on MJ that the media has made a lot of controversy and rumors about, even though the proof was clear as day in photos and coming from MJ's words himself. We all know that Michael has Vitiligo, which is a skin whitening condition.I think it's really sad to see that even after MJ's passing, there are still those lies and negative comments about him having Vitiligo, even though it was proven in an autopsy that he did have the disease. I just can't believe how the media could be so insensitive to MJ's skin condition. Ever so often you hear about other celebrities such as Farrah Fawcett, Michael J. Fox and Patrick Swayze. Throughout their times of sickness, all they received was respect, love and people showing their support in hopes of them getting through that terrible time. For MJ it was the total opposite!! I don’t think I have ever witnessed such cruel statements and publicity towards a celebrity that had such a serious disease. Michael is such a sweet, caring and talented person and I don’t understand how the media and other people could treat him the way they did, because just like Farrah, Michael J.Fox and Patrick didn't choose to be diagnosed with there diseases, Michael Jackson didn't choose it either. I don't see how the media could speculate on weather MJ has Vitiligo or not, when the proof is in the photos. As they say “Seeing is believing” and you can clearly see that MJ has spots and discoloration on his arms and neck in photos dating back to the Thriller days. Michael himself even said in an Oprah Winfrey interview, that he had the disease. Yet instead of the media and other people feeling sorry for him like they did with Farrah, Michael J. Fox and Patrick, they treated MJ like he was a freak and like it was his own fault that he turned white. First of all I just want to ask” what is wrong with looking white anyway’?? Why does it matter if his skin turned blue, red, yellow,or pink??

               It shouldn’t matter, he is still the same beautiful person inside and outside in my opinion. He’s still Michael Jackson no matter what color he is. I really think that Michael didn’t come out with the details of him having this disease earlier, because he wanted to keep whatever he could private, since everything else about him is out there for the world to see. I can’t imagine the pain he must have been going through, when he realized he had Vitiligo, Im sure one of his big concerns were what the media would say or do. I think that’s why he tried so hard to cover it up with his dark make-up until it was too hard to control. I hate that he had to go through it but I think it made him stronger, and that it was in God’s plan for him. I think he looked perfect in all of his eras like the Bad, Thriller, Dangerous, and Invincible and I couldn’t imagine him looking any different during those time periods. I think that the media and other people want to hate Michael Jackson simply because he is Michael Jackson. It isn’t about his white skin, it’s about the fact that their jealous and just wanted to tear him, so they could feel better about themselves. If they were smart they would stop spending their time critiquing MJ’s appearance, and spend more time working on their own insecurities. So for all of you Non-MJ fans that believed MJ was “trying to be white”, I just want you to know that this is not the case, and you should ask yourself “Why does it matter what color his skin was anyway”?? For all the fan’s , well you already know by listening to MJ’s song that “ It don’t matter if your black or white” Lol
