    Well his wife is white and he had Vitiligio.

    •  Vitiligo is a disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed, resulting in white patches.

    I doubt it did. A more reasonable explanation is that the woman he was with had the more dominant genes.

    Usually dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin will dominate over the lighter hues of people but it is not always the case, there are exceptions and sometimes the less dominant gene comes out on top (not very often). Jacko was a very different guy to the young kid with the big black afro that sang with the jackson five
    with all the treaments he got over the years I wouldn't be surprised if his blood was slightly green in color

    In a way I understand what MJ was trying to do with being an all peoples colorless person but IMO he went too far with the white thing

    It has probably f*cked up his DNA, if it messed with his DNA his sperm will caryy those same messed up gene codes
    Jacko had so many weird treatments and doctors over the years its hard to know what part of him was plastic and what part of him was genuine anymore

    Anyhow RIP to a great pop star and I hope the kids have a good parent or well paid nanny to watch over them

    so now skin bleaching can becoming a hereditary trait?  hmm......... that doesnt work for me their is an easier explanation, like sherlock holmes has said the most obvious answer is usually the right one. they are not his biological kids.

    Maybe just because some couples like theirs end up with their children looking like that. I remember where I saw a child with a black father with blonde hair and blue eyes, but the dad was biracial.

    It should be common knowledge if people actually took the time to confirm their information instead of accepting gossip for fact. Just look it up. He was diagnosed in 1986 with vitiligo and lupus. In February 1993 he had that interview with Oprah where he admitted to having the disease, and that he never bleached his skin.

    know but I have done my research and I am not just randomly speculating like others. If you really have your doubts look up his medical records.

    Vitiligo makes a lot more sense than someone bleaching their skin. Its a rare disease but I have seen it before and it looks like exactly what MJ had.

    it eventually turns your entire body white. There are different cases not all works the same. Someone bleaching their skin seriously!? He didn't turn white over night he was gradually becoming lighter. Your just spouting the rumors that have always been circulating. Someone just invented it because no one knew what the hell was wrong with Michael and why he was turning white. There have been other cases just like Michael but people ignore them because those individuals are not famous so no one cares.

    There's your error. Bleaching doesn't completely change your color over night, it's a gradual process. So he could have been bleaching his skin

    micheal did have vitaligo but he did take drugs to make his pigment go away that way he didn't look spoty and splotchy like any sane person would do, i figure that the drugs affected his genes makeing everything lose skin pigment including the DNA in his sperm but its just a theory

    I honestly do not think he did, and if he did it would not have made a huge difference because he was going to turn white eventually, unfortunately there was nothing he could do. From the research I have done and what I have read and watched I do not think he bleached his skin. Watch this video

    Um, Vitiligo is patches, there is no dermatologist on the planet that will tell you that his skin tone naturally became that even from Vitiligo alone, and then for his children's to be that clear... not a chance.

    There are reports in some of the recent magazines that someone else was the biological father for his children. Although I believed he bleached his skin, or took some sort of medication, disease or not, he had something else help the way his skin looks because it was never patchy in any of his photographs.

From the research I have done and what I have read and watched I do not think he bleached his skin. Watch this video

      

    "
    Um, Vitiligo is patches, there is no dermatologist on the planet that will tell you that his skin tone naturally became that even from Vitiligo alone, and then for his children's to be that clear... not a chance.
    "
    I'm not even going to go into his kids, biological or not if he loved them and raised them that is good enough
    "
    well duh, but are you now retracting your Vitiligo statement?
    "
    I am uncertain where I stand with that statement now. I cannot completely defend it, but...................... I don't know. People will always speculate I don't think we will ever know for certain
    "
    I think in the long run your right, it will never really matter because someone will always have some theory about him and his life, and even if someone were to report the truth, his life has been so crazy that people may still second guess it.

    MJ said he was the biological father before he died, and no one is denying it, but investigators believe his dermatologist is actually the biological father, even though the doctor has denied this so far.

    But people seem to believe he might actually be Blankets biological father as opposed to the other too.


    Honestly, I cannot believe that MJ is still being covered this much on the news what like 2 to 3 weeks after he died

    Yeah, but as much as I loved the guys music I hear about him at work everyday now. This is what I get for interning in entertainment television this summer.

    Michael's genes did NOT affect his kids physical appearance.  Do as much as you want to your face.  Hell, you may even have the skin lightening disease.  But the nose and those lips would not have gone anywhere if he hadn't have gotten them nipped off.  Now that that is taken care of, on to the bulk of the reason why he has white babies.

    They can't be his.  I'm sorry, but I'm sticking to this until I see some damn DNA results.  Someone as ethnic looking as Mr. Jackson was, hair and all, would have at least had a brief hint of dominance on the boy's appearance.  Jackson had someone else do the naughty in a cup, and had Debbie use a turkey baster.  However, the true question is, "Hey, if you could have had your pick of people to be the biological parents, why would you choose two white people?".  My theory on THAT, is that he didn't want his kids to look like him, thus, they wouldn't look like Evil Joe.
