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.

Well he used embryonic stem cells to become white
This guy doesn’t look white enough to play Michael Jackson.
Why if he can play the part and do justice to Michael, then I do not see a problem.. In all actuality Michael himself looks more white in his later years than black and this actor is portraying those years not his childhood. Michael is sorely missed and had more talent and pizzazz in him than any male since Elvis.. If he can be portrayed in that same light by this actor than so be it.
Blacks need to grow up! Michael spent much of his life looking White by his own choice!
Look at MJ’S picture, he’s whiter than the white guy
Who the hell really cares?
And a black man trying to be white doesnt
If he didn’t want a white guy to play him he shouldn’t have made himself so white – right
Should have been a white woman.
If you wanted to do mjs life story you would need about ten different actors ten different colors for it to be realistic.
