Why aren't Michael Jackson's black?

Question

Please don't understand the question as being from a racial standpoint but from a genetic one

Sorry, what I meant to say is Why aren't Michael Jackson's CHILDREN black?

Answer 1

Probably because they aren't biologically his! ; )

If you've never saw a biracial person in person before, just look at Vanessa Williams, Halle Berry, and Alicia Keys...it's quite clear that they are partly black, as opposed to Nicole Kidman, Brittany Spears, and Paris Hilton.

I suppose that a black person and a white person could have a child that presented as fully white, but that would probably be rare, and would probably require the black person to have a significant portion of Caucasian blood.

That's all I've got.

EDIT: The skin condition he supposedly has (vitiligo) would not change the genes that make dark skin, so it wouldn't cause his children to appear white. Maybe his children would acquire vitiligo from him (I don't know if it is a genetic disease that can be passed from parents to children), but I'm pretty sure that vitiligo doesn't discolor ALL of the skin. Besides, his children have typical white features, which vitiligo would not cause.

Answer 2

Black MJ

Answer 3

The answer that Michael Jackson has a skin disease, thus making his children white, is a misnomer.

Vitiligo does change the pigmentation of your skin (typically black people get white spots), but in Michael Jackson's case and his children... this does not easily explain why his children are white.

Saying that, Michael Jackson's kids are white because their mother is white is also a misnomer in some cases. But, this CAN explain why their children are light complected. It all depends on genetics of parents on how children will be complected.

My parents are white and black. The same as Prince Michael and Paris. My dad is black (without vitiligo) and my mother is white. I have the palest skin imaginable. My sister, different dads, but still black nonetheless, she is really dark complected.

There have been news circulations regarding the legitmacy of Prince Michael and Paris Katherine to Michael Jackson. That could be the answer in and of itself. Those are simply not Michael Jackson's biological children.

But again, in regards to children with mixed race... its a toss up. You never really know what you're gonna get... like a box of chocolates.

I hope this wasn't as clear as mud.. he, hee, hee...

Michael, forever, and always!

Answer 4

I don't believe they are his children. I think he either adopted them or borrowed them for show. You really only saw his so called children while he was on trial for child molestation. Have you seen them since? I haven't.

Answer 5

Do you mean 'Why aren't his children black'? They have white mothers?

Answer 6

Because their mother has blond hair and is very light skinned! My kids are half black and most people don't know when they first see them! They could take after their mother more!

♥♥We Love You Michael!!!!♥♥

Answer 7

Answer 8

Michael Jacson has a pigmentation disease. I forgot the name of it but it basically changes your pigment from dark to light. I'm sorry i cant help you out more that that but i've forgotten the info on it

Answer 9

Micheal Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo in 1983... vitiligo is a skin pigmentation disease ...u'll have white patches or spots due to the disturbed pigmentation -the body develops antibodies against its own melanin, a body pigment, resulting in light patches and an eventual loss of all pigment, like in the case of Micheal Jackson. He denied several reports of bleaching his skin!

Answer 10

I though he change his Blood..TO become white
