I have often wondered this myself, because Michael says he has a skin disease that makes his dark skin change to that with no pigmentation.....question is, does he really have that disease? And my own opinion is.....NO! I worked in a substance abuse center, with female prisoners (program they had to go through to get out), and many of the black women in our program regularly bleached their skin, because darker skin tends to scar more prominently. The more you look at pictures of Michael through the years, the more you notice that the lightening of his skin is more uniform, so he's bleaching it, not suffering from the disease. And I know how the disease works, because a good friend of mine, who happens to be CAUCASIAN, has it, and it starts on the neck, hands, feet, and works its way around the entire body. And even with makeup, you can still tell, because my friend is a girl and uses it to try to hide the differences in skin tones.

I think Janet Jackson wears too much makeup, her skin colour looks normal. However as for MJ I don't really know what is the truth. Its either bleaching or he really has got some skin disease that's turned him a white colour.

She is a more sensible colour than he is, and I find it hard to believe he is genuinely suffering from a skin disease since he has also eradicated several other black racial features from himself. However if it was true that his skin was lightened by a blotchy skin disease, then I guess someone as vain as Michael Jackson would be unlikely to walk around with the blotches showing, but would cover it with make up to be a uniform colour.

Don't know about Janet, but for Michael -- skin bleaching to excess and now severe medical problems.

Micheal Jackson is supposed to have a SKIN DISORDER that actually causes the pigments in the skin to die basically. That is what happened, and yes it is a real skin disease. It is just a question of if he as it.

Little Boys.
They suck them dry like vampires. Little Boy blood contains a high amount of acid, when ingested causes bleaching of the skin.
Only has-been pedo musicians have the anitcoagulant saliva in which to absorb the little boy acid.
Have fun!

Michael has done who knows what to himself. Janet might just be wearing makeup. In either case, it is sad. They should be proud of who they are, not try to change it.

Michael has a disease called vitiligo. It is a disease that causes the skin to lose its pigment. I used to work with a lady who had it. When I first met her, she was still mostly black with white patches. Several years later, she was completely white. The whiteness is caused by the disease.
