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.

Is he going to get a nose job so it looks like a pyramid on his face?
I did not see an outrage when “Annie” was black…
How much outrage over the movie, “White Girls”? Not a peep right? I would love to bring up the issue of racial double standards in these presidential candidates debates. That would change the directions of some voters I bet.
Black girl plays Annie, white people don’t bat an eye…
White guy plays Michael Jackson, all the racist people in the world lose their minds!!!
How about a all black Wizard of OZ!
the actor isn’t as “white” as jackson became. so what’s the big deal?
Honestly the white guy playing Michael isn’t too far off..atleast for the last half of his life…a white woman would’ve worked better
lol LOOK at Micheal before he died lol He was trying to be white. lol
Alleged*
I wouldn’t play him if you paid me!
