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, they want to win an emmy! lol
Remember now now decent black movies got any nominations lol
So there pissy this year. Dont worry though the affirmative action is kicking in for next year then they will be happy
WHY…?
Why not? White people have been playing Native Americans for decades.
So what’s the problem? Any of you black actors WANT to whiten your skin to play the part? The fool had so many operations to make his skin white, and his nose changed, he didn’t hardly HAVE a nose left, and his skin was whiter than ANY white person, because he was TRYING to be white.! And you all know it, so unless you’re rich enough to do what he did, non-reversible by the way, how the hell are you going to play his part? Huh? Answer that? Get the$#%&!@*over it, the part is a tribute to him, not something to tear down his memory!
Guess those arrogant blacks still won’t be getting a Oscar. Not even good enough to play a black man. Now that’s funny.
Tired of hearing the ” Black Community” cry about every damned thing.. Get a freakin’ life people, or just go away…
Lol. Michael Jackson want to be white and a girl. Should have let white girl play him
Acting is acting. What’s wrong with that?
Tom Fassett, you are correct in thinking he was a white person, so did my granddaughter, google ” the Jackson Five” band. Michael Jackson is the little black kid with the big Afro with his older bros and sister. When he got to be an adult is when he started all the rediculous operations.
