Michael Jackson was born a an african american male.. he later changed his skin colour to be 'white'..
If he had remained 'black' would he still have been as famous as he was? especially with the white community? honestly...

Yes even if he hadn't had the disease (Vitiligo) he would still be just as famous for his talent!! If the gold diggers hadn't falsely accused him to make a buck then he would have probably been making more albums!!

yes he would have been...besides all the 'child molesting charges" against him to bring him in the news (popularity) he is a very talented guy. I think if He was not so whacked in the brains he would still be producing great music and other things. And believe it or not I am not a big fan of his, never owned an album but you have to face facts..he is good and he has stage presence.
You said "If he had remained 'black' would he still have been as famous as he was? especially with the white community? honestly..." I'm white and my friends and I agree... it is not black people that we don't like..it is the attitude of most that say "you had me as a slave for a long time..now you owe me"... I never had slaves and you are too young to have even been one...get past it, stop speaking Ebonics and get a job and stop being so rude..cause you really aint all that and a bag of chips lol
Any nationality or anyone that acts as if they are better than anyone else, and decides that "you owe me" wont get my sympathy
Happy New Year

Well seeing as how Michael Jackson was already hugely popular by the time he was about twelve by blacks, whites, asians and any other race you can think of the answer is yes!
His skin color played no role in his popularity. His popularity came about because from an early age people were able to appreciate his talent. Personally I think he is a strange one, which I think is due to no fault of his own, but still have to admit he was always extremely talented. I am white by the way!

He is not famous, he's infamous, for all the strange things he does and says. He would have been famous if he had stayed black and recorded his music. He would have been remembered as a great performer then. Now all people think about is how scary looking he is, and how bizarre he acts. Not to mention he should be in prison. So I think the color change along with his other actions has made him a joke, instead of someone who will be remembered for their talent.

Michael Jackson wanted to be white and he was one of a few that could afford it.... We can't condemn the guy for chasing his dream. He just went too far with the plastic surgery and really became a freak show. The white community made him a star just like with all stars.......so I am sure they always liked him.....regardless.

For true supporters of good music it shouldn't be a prob. But unfortunately i doubt that he'd be as popular in the white community if he stayed with a darker color skin.

Back in the '70s & '80s he was known for his music, not his color.
Then I read somewhere he has a skin disease, which he lost the pigment in his skin's color.
Most recently, he was accused of molesting little boys.
I think he is more famous for things like his bubble blowing monkey, one glove and his little boy sleep over parties than his color...
Besides to be politically correct.....the color would be ashen, not white.
White isn't even a color...Check out wikipedia

yes I believe he would be just as famous,,, remember he has been around since the 70's ,,, I feel that his popularity is due more to his child charges than his changing skin color,,, Besides he is a great entertainer!!! BLACK, WHITE OR GREY
