How did Michael Jackson turn white after being born black?
Michael has a skin disorder known as vitiligo. Basically, what it means is that the pigment cells in your skin stop producing pigment and stop functioning correctly, causing the skin to appear very pale. It doesn’t happen to our skin as a whole. Vitiligo leaves patches of pale skin, making your appearance rather odd. He did not bleach his skin. If you watched a special interview with his makeup artist, she will tell you that she evened out his skin tone with makeup. I mean, seriously, who wants to come on stage feelin embarrassed of their disorder? Over time, the vitiligo spreaded on his body very rapidly, over half of it white-skinned instead of his natural cocoa bronze. This made it easier to do the entire transition from black to white. I really don’t understand how asking his question is racist; I would have been curious too if I didn’t know. Hope I helped!
