Michael Jackson: The Glove Was A Coverup

I do not believe this. The reason why is because Vitiligo is a skin disease that effects patches of the skin, not the whole body. If you look at progressive photos of Michael, his face gets lighter and ligher. I do strongly believe that this story about the glove is to spin the fact that Michael Jackson had some deep rooted issues with being a black man. For him, to be black is to be ugly. Alot of African Americans in the past would have this messed up view that being dark was not attractive because light skinned blacks were more likely to get special treatment, they were also seen as more attractive.

But I am the new generation,I am a proud black woman, my man is white. And I don't care. I think that changing your hair color is one thing, but changing your skin color is another

Michael Jackson's own dermatologist said recently on Larry King that he treated him for vitiligo, which was brought on by a disease called discoid lupus that was found on his scalp while being treated for burns on it during the Pepsi commercial fiasco. THIS IS THE TRUTH. Even a reporter from the National Enquirer of all places said on Geraldo Rivera's talk show many years ago in 1993 after the Oprah Winfrew TV interview MJ did that even HE believes he had vitiligo. He said that one of Oprah's producers told him that MJ off-camera showed his skin and it was mottled and splotchy. People must admit that an irresponsible, money-driven press perpetuated this awful and very wrong myth about Michael Jackson and they bought the lie hook, line, and sinker.

reneelucky, good for you, and I understand where you are coming from, but please do some research on Micheal. (I am saying this nicely). Micheal had vitiligo and didn't want to look like a cow , with white patches on his black skin while performing, so he covered up his skin, with white, because that was the colour that the patches where coming in, and if he covered his skin with black, the white patches would reform again and stand out. Wouldn't you do the same? Yes, you would.

Anyone that is within Micheal Jackson inner circle will say anything to make him look positive in the light of darkness. And I do not think that the National Enquirer is realiable sourse either, not with their many advertisements of psychic chat lines and majic stones and potions and lotions for 2 payments of $19.99 plus shipping and handeling.

I read medical books, and refer to trusted medical sites like web md.

no the hell I would not, you do not know me to decide what I would do. And personally, I would rather go tanning or wear dark makeup to cover the vitiligo than to look like a white person. I might be with a white person, but I have no desire to look like one.

So why don't people with pimples cover their face with red makeup to match the pimples? Silly. I know people with vitiligo. None of the many pictures of MJ show ANY sign of those blotches.

Severe cases of vitiligo that do not respond to treatment can be treated with Benoquin by prescription. This medication causes permanent whitening of the dark areas of the skin. That's what Michael Jackson did. There are a few photos actually showing his disease starting to become public. You can spin it all day into something else... about race, about self hatred. I went to school with someone who had Vitiligo. All the science lines up. Science win's over speculation every time.

You don't know a soul with vitiligo. You're just talking out of your ass, so shut phuck up.

Anytime a little black boy can transform himself into a white woman you know that something is terrible wrong going on in this country
