    you take it however you want to. He changed three of the most distinguished african american physical characteristics. Lil Kim does not have nearly the extreme skinny nose or bleached skin MJ does.

    To be honest, Lil Kim caught a lot of flack for having her nose done, hair straightened and dyed, etc. People accused her of the same thing, "trying to be white". I believe the man had vitiligo and if you have seen that condition in person or in pictures you can or may understand why somebody may just go ahead and make their skin the same color. There are no treatments that I know of where a person can walk into a doctor's office and say I want to be black/white and have it done just because they want to because the procedures that can do this are extremely risky and expensive.

    You believe what you want and I'll do the same, I'll leave it at that.

    I have seen pics and people in person. I have yet to see a person that would be able to hide it by slowly bleaching their skin over 15 years. Most have patches that are totally white. They don't fade over time.

    His dermatologist was on Larry King last night and confirmed that he had vitiligo.

    It was also mentioned, this was one of the reasons the glove came into being, as it was to hide some of the spots that started to appear on his hand.

    He might have, but do you see my point about he got bright over a extended period of time?

    More on his vitiligo:

    http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/07/09/michael.jackson.glove/index.html

    (CNN) -- Michael Jackson's single white glove was his trademark -- an iconic image for a performer whose career constantly set, then redefined, pop culture trends.

    But it also was an early effort to mask a skin condition that he would struggle with for the rest of his life, say some who were close to him.

    Actress Cicely Tyson, a friend of Jackson's, said the two shared a fashion designer in the 1980s.

    "All of a sudden, he said, 'I'm doing this glove for Michael,' " she said. "Michael was beginning to develop the vitiligo and it started on his hand.

    "The glove was to cover the vitiligo; that's how that glove came into being."

    The glove design and reason for it were not just hearsay for Tyson, she said.

    "I was there when he was creating it," she told CNN's Don Lemon.

    More than the black fedora, the white socks and loafers or the red leather jacket, the solitary glove -- made famous in the music video for "Billie Jean" -- became a Jackson trademark. He was dubbed "The Gloved One," by media and a sequined glove he wore during his 1984 Victory tour was expected to fetch more than $60,000 in an upcoming auction, even before his death.

    Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. Arnie Klein, told CNN that Jackson suffered from vitiligo, a disease that causes blotches of lightening skin, as well as a form of lupus that led to rashes and flaking of skin on his scalp. Video Watch Jackson doctor talk with Larry King ยป

    "His was bad because he began to get a speckled look over his body," Klein said. "All over his body -- but on his face and hands, which is hard to treat."

    It's a report that rings true to others with the disease.

    "I have to wear sleeves and carry an umbrella," said Lee Thomas, who wrote a memoir called "Turning White," which discusses his physical and mental struggles as an African-American man whose skin changes because of vitiligo. "It totally makes sense to me."

    Thomas, an Emmy-winning television journalist in Detroit, Michigan, told CNN that he shares a habit with Jackson.

    "I got [white spots] on one of my hands, so I used to wear a glove to hold a microphone," he said.

    Dr. James Norlund, a dermatologist, never treated Jackson, but said the singer's use of the gloves and lipstick was consistent with the patterns of vitiligo, since the spots frequently first appear on the hands and face, including the lips.

    Klein said he treated Jackson's vitiligo with a cream that eventually bleached Jackson's darker pigmentation to even out his skin color. He said it was that treatment -- not a once-rumored desire by Jackson to be white -- that lightened his skin over the years.

    "Michael was black," Klein said. "He was very proud of his black heritage."

    Regardless of its origins, the glove was never viewed as anything other than fashion by Jackson's fans, some of whom donned gloves to impersonate him.

    At Jackson's memorial service Tuesday, actress Brooke Shields, a close friend of Jackson's, remembered the glove in a light moment during an otherwise emotional eulogy.

    "When he started wearing the glove, I was like, 'What's up with the glove?' " she said, drawing laughter from the crowd. "I was like, 'If you're going to hold my hand, it better be the nonglove one because sequins really hurt me.' It would dig in.

    If this poll was done when Jackson was still alive, the results would have been different.....


    I guess a number of those who voted were not guided by reason...

    personally i voted yes......the term molestation is not limited to the physical.

    MJ was going to save those journalists held by North Korea

    MJ Wanted to Heal the World ... with Kim Jong Il
    Posted Jul 9th 2009 7:15PM by TMZ Staff
    According to Michael Jackson, the release of imprisoned reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee hinged on one question: Is Kim Jong Il a "Thriller" fan?


    On his blog, Gotham Chopra -- friend to MJ and the reporters -- says Jackson called him three weeks ago asking how he could help. Jackson thought Jong Il would let them go if he talked to him ... provided the North Korean leader was a fan.

    One reason why Michael thought Jong Il could be a devotee: "You know, he wears jackets like mine."

    Gotham told Jackson he'd look into it -- but Michael died before the plan could get off the ground.

    I remember seeing the pics of his secret bedroom back when cops raided it a long time ago. It was COVERED with framed pictures of little boys. No one can really say if he touched anyone but he was clearly a pedo. For someone to have such a crappy childhood, it's definitely not normal to spend the rest of your live trying to re-live it. Aside from that, he was a horrible parent and a drug addict. It's a shame people actually feel sorry for this guy!

    C'mon. Did you actually see these pictures? I just googled it, and it appears on nothing but smut rags. Show me these pics, or admit you just heard about it.

    It sounds like an urban myth more than anything.

    Fatty's right. I've never seen these alleged pictures, only heard about them on the internet from other people like you who "saw" them. Yet I can't find any credible news source that talks about them. Not saying they weren't there, but I'm not going to say they were either.

    LOL. "Clearly."

    He was definitely "not normal." There is no denying that. He had serious issues and clearly wanted to stay in his childhood.

    On what grounds are you saying he was a horrible parent? I've never heard or read anything that suggests anything beyond he was a fantastic parent.

    That's not MadTV that is "In Living Color" and that's Tommy Davidson playing Michael. I loved the two skits he did on Michael.
