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.

Jackson looks a lot whiter that Fiennes in the photo………………….
Good he’s too dark skinned to play him,P.S. is he going to play with little boys like michael did.
Michael always wanted to be white. I don’t see the problem there. Why is it a big deal
and also i guess they want a black to play James Bond is next
Who cares?
who cares….not something I would watch anyway.
How could a black man play the role when Jackson bleached his face white? Ludicrous
Those things are never happy!!!
HELL LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, MICHEAL IS WHITER THAN THE ACTOR. SO WHERE IS THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE NEED TO GET A GRIP.
Unless he loses the yan… even he isn’t white enough to play MJ
