is michael jackson black, or white?

Answer 1

He had a rare skin disease(s) which attacks the pigment of the skin and turned him white. He is technically a black man turned white due to this disease(s)

Answer 2

Jackson's skin color was a medium-brown color for the entire duration of his youth; his skin had been becoming paler gradually since 1982. This change became so noticeable that it gained widespread media coverage, with some tabloids claiming that he was bleaching his skin. The structure of his face has changed as well, and a number of surgeons claim that Jackson had undergone multiple nasal surgeries as well as a forehead lift, thinned lips and cheekbone surgery.
However, on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1993, Jackson revealed that the change in his skin color was due to the disease vitiligo. In the interview, Jackson became quite emotional, saying that: "I'm a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity... I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of my skin, it's something that I cannot help, OK? But when people make up stories that I don't want to be what I am it hurts me... It's a problem for me that I can't control."[109] Jackson also responded to tabloid rumors about the amount of plastic surgery he had had done, saying that he's had "Very, very little. I mean you can count on my two fingers," and furthermore said that "I've never had my cheekbones done, never had my eyes done, never had my lips done and all this stuff, they just go too far."[109] Further, Jackson wrote in his 1988 autobiography Moon Walk that he only had two rhinoplastic surgeries and the surgical creation of a cleft in his chin, while attributing the noticeable change in the structure of his face to puberty and diet.



He is NOT artificially white. He has a disease that makes his pigmentation paler. His skin was at once full black, then he had white spots that he had to cover up with black make-up. Then he had more white then black skin. Then, he was just white. He has NEVER bleached his skin.

Answer 3

Michael Jackson use to be black in the 80's but I don't know how he turned white. Don't get me wrong I love Michael's music but I just don't know how you go from having a big bell pepper nose to having a pencil nose. Could somebody help me out with that.

Answer 4

He's a Black Man not a White Woman.
