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.

Where’s the white outrage about the black guy playing James Bond?
Well i never jeard anyone complain about Will Smith playing Jim West in Wild Wild West. But seriously people these film makers should keep it real. Mj was black so keep ot that way. After all let someone try to push black John wayne and watch the sparks fly. Keep it real people. If a movie is about George Washington Carver the actor should be black. Booker T Washington black. Why people are always trying to stir the pot it just is stupid.
Michael Jackson was black trying to look white so whats the big deal?
Michael wanted to be white so what’s wrong with a white guy playing him.
Maybe we should be more concerned with the fact that our government has turned against the people and not who is going to play Michael Jackson in a fucking movie.
I don’t understand the outrage. Michael did everything he could do to look white, and used make-up that was almost white, so why are the blacks outraged?
TRUST ME MICHAEL WOULD GET OFF ON IT !
Who cares
His complexion is too dark.
He should refuse to play a child abuser and major drug addict .
