Why is Michael Jackson's skin white?

Why is Michael Jackson's skin white?
Here is the truth...

The reason why Michael Jackson's skin is white is because he had a skin disorder called Vitiligo which turned him white HE DID NOT BLEACH IT, if Michael Jackson had bleached his skin then his childrens skin color would be black this is the real answer dont listen to tabloids!

^^ Yes, it is true that Michael Jackson does suffer from the skin disease, vitilligo. Why do you think he started wearing the infamous glove? Vitilligo often starts on the hands and face area. Plus, there are plenty of photos avaliable online that show an uneven skin tone. However, it cannot be said indefinitely that he has not bleached his skin. Vitilligo is a skin disease that destroys the skin's pigment thus leaving white blotches and patches, it does not turn a black man completely white. Therefore it would be logical to assume that Michael has bleached his skin over the years in order to even out his skin tone. (This procedure is very common amongst vitilligo sufferers) In the first stages of the disease Michael probably used make up to even out his skin tone but as the disease progressed the amount of make up needed would be too great to even out his tone realistically thus he turned to bleaching medication avaliable to vitilligo sufferers. Why, he denies bleaching his skin I don't know, it is clearly evident he has, but also the reasons for his bleaching of skin are perfectly acceptable surely?

As for his children being white so he cannot have bleached his skin..... ><

I would just like to point out that vitilligo is not a disease which alters the genes and DNA that make up a person's reproductory chromosomes. It only destroys skin pigment. Michael Jackson's kids are white because they are NOT his. If they were they WOULD BE black....

i dont care how i just love his music X]
