Black or White

This is a SONG MEANINGS site. This is not a website for random assholes to give their personal opinions about Michael Jackson and display their little knowledge about him. Michael Jackson has VITILIGO. A somewhat rare skin disease in which over time white blotches of skin appear on a persons body.

Michael, in interviews, explained that when the majority of his body was still black, he covered up the white spots with makeup. However, when the white kept increasing and finally his body was mostly white, he used makeup to cover up the leftover black patches. Eventually, his skin turned completely white.

As for the child molestation charges: The evidence against Michael Jackson was weak. In fact, there was no evidence at all that child molestation ever occured. The accusers from the recent trial have been involved in previous legal trials before, in which they were found guilty of FRAUD.

The accusers have a history of suing corporations in order to obtain millions of dollars. As for the original accusers from the first trial, there again was also no evidence to support the charges of child molestation. In the end, they settled out of court. If the kid was really molested, it is highly doubtful that a truly concerned parent would let their child's molestor go free for ANY amount of money.

Now, back to the songs. Michael has created amazing songs to send out amazing meanings and messages to the world. His apperance should not affect how much one absorbs the meanings of his songs. Many of his songs talk about racism, oppression, the destruction of the earth, poverty, cruelty, starvation, etc... His messages are "change, help the world, you have the power to help people. use it"

So, really. Stop being immature jackasses and pay attention to his music rather than his face.
