Michael Jackson is going to be portrayed by Joseph Fiennes, a white actor, in an upcoming Hollywood comedy. This announcement is causing some uproar among the politically correct, who apparently think Hollywood is trying to get away with white-washing one of the most prolific Black singers in pop music history.
Michael Jackson famously suffered from a condition known as vitiligo, a skin condition that kills or otherwise disables pigment cells in a person’s skin. Some conspiracy theorists insisted that Jackson purposefully changed his skin color in order to appeal to a wider audience, because they apparently think the moon walk and “Annie Are You Okay?” just weren’t enough to draw in White audiences.
The fact that Jackson is going to be played by a White actor and not that the comedy he is being portrayed in centers around escaping New York after the attacks on September 11th, is drawing criticism.

There already is racial tension this ain’t new!! And once again people are bringing up fictional characters that black people played
I think they should use a white woman….
Why? Ain’t Mikey white??
Well yeah, there wasn’t any black people at the academy awards!
Eric Czimskey brass burned in a furnace, and back then they didn’t use the word black when referring to people so he wrote trying to describe the complexion.
Idiot, try again lol
Alie Tabooger he African American, I guess you didn’t know that one drop of our dna mixed with any other race dominates the gene.
Any WHITE scientists will tell you this. Its called research
Absolutely not! Did anyone consult with the Jackson family about this or is this spur of the moment?!? What about way back when Werner Oland played Charlie Chan and he wasn’t Chinese?? Or Al Jolson wearing blackface and he wasn’t black? Nobody mentioned this back then!
Who really cares really.
Michael would have loved it! Blacks not so much.
Michael tried his entire life to be white. So what’s the problem?
