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.

Ppl need to get over et away from this bull
He doesn’t even slightly resemble MJ.
Why does it spark outrage???
Is he going to win an Oscar ? Lol
I think the comparison of Annie to Michael Jackson isn’t very good. One is fictional one is real. But it is Michael Jackson he made himself white so maybe they tried to find someone that kind of looks like him.
Joseph Fiennes?!
Funny part is Michael is whiter than the white dude playing him.
Michael looks whiter .
hard to find a black guy white enough
Would love to see him get an Oscar for this role!
