Michael Jackson: The Glove Was A Coverup

i mean it really breaks my heart.. not hurts! sorry

maybe he got patches first and decided to go for treatment to make the whole skin white so it blends in better..?

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 

wow, I completely agree with you. I think he just wasn't happy with being black, and vitiligo its curable..so, its all an excuse..when someone dies ppl seems to forget whatever they did wrong...I tnink this is the case...oh, and not only that, but he had a lot of surgeries to his nose, which means that he wasn't happy with his african american nose..he just wanted to be white.

Since people seem to like speculation, I'll humor everyone with some of my own.
It has been reported that Michael's father ridiculed him about his nose when he was a youngster.
This could have left him feeling like his nose was not good enough to meet the extremely high standards of Joe Jackson and he may or may not have set out to "fix" the perceived problem.
As far as the color of his skin ...... Who Cares what color his skin was? He was a human being. Since he was not as actively in the spotlight and started to hide parts of his body with gloves, masks etc.; did it ever occur to anyone that maybe he was ashamed of the fact that his skin was no longer the color that everyone associates with being a Black American? I of course never sat down and had a conversation with MJ or anyone who knew him on a personal level so this is just a possible theory born of speculation.

From what I have read, from different interviews over the years I would be more inclined to say that MJ would be appalled to have his death spark a racial debate since he loved everyone regardless of race, sex, religion or nationality. No wonder he loved spending time with children; they are no where near as judgemental as adults are.

R.I.P. Michael and Thank You for sharing your life and your talent with all of us.

Thank you for posting this.It may clear the air a little around here.I just have to point this out because it really annoyed me. reneelucky47, how do you know MJ thought being black meant being ugly? How do you know he had problems with being black? He never gave anyone any reason to think that he hated being black. I believe he did have a skin disease; did it spread throughout his body or did he dye his skin to hide the patches, we may never know. We don't know how it affected him so we should stop speculating about it.I'm very proud of my black race and extremely proud of what MJ has become. He rose to the top when he was black, he made the legendary moonwalk move when he was black and he just happened to die in a lighter skin colour. In fact, the way I see it, Michael's legacy goes beyond racial arguments. Who cares if he was black or white? His music appealed to all. 

The reason why I say this is because this man had changed his African American features to white features and no one on this blog can argue that.

to reneelucky...i pitty you...for being so pessimistic person, so negative on other people and with your country, i'm not a fan of mj but i believe the dead guy deserves to be treated nicely with respect just like all of us here n earth, the problem is, there are lots of people of your kind, always have negative insights on others.You may be smart coz you've done reading and researches abt. mj's skin disease but unfortunately your research was not enough to defend your statement.

to reneelucky i just hope you understand the word "RARE" that's why it's always been said that mj had this "rare skin disease" wherein those who have this RARE skin disease, cases or circustances may not be exactly the same....so I suggest you go out and travel the world to see if all cases of the said disease are exactly the same. Goodluck!

while almost all of the big artist ,personalities around the world giving praises to mj's ACCOMPLISHMENTS and GOOD DEEDS here you are throwing out accusations on mj...no respect at all, I hope mj will show up to you one of this days to personally say that he forgives you ....lol

Everything said and done, he was the best pop star ever
