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.

Who gives a rat’s$#%&!@*
What color was Michael at the end of his life?
I wouldn’t want the Job. Don’t want To See the Movie either..
I always thought he was white .I’m truly shocked .he even danced like a white person .I think he would be very insulted if you called him a black guy ..hee hee
He was the whitest black man ever and people want to get pissed?
Well that’s what mike looked like white
No outrage if they want to use a black for James bond movie hey? Stuff off hypocrites
Just more racism from the left. I would think that the producers and the director, who are bringing this story to
the big screen, should have the right to cast whomever they want to play a rather difficult and demanding role.
When Michael was born he was black. He bleached his skin white I think. Look at early pictures of him. He was a little black boy who grew up to be a white woman.
