Wow that is impressive...

Did he have the disease before or after he started with the surgery?

[Pearljr]

Michael Jackson has suffered from vitiligo since the late 1970's, so before the surgery--the surgery was make his skin match with his features.

No offense but please if you are an activist please stop with the blonde hair because that is part of our image problem as BW.

Also, why are you blaming the media? The media has no power to "control" you. It simply reinforces what someone believes is the status quo. Each individual has their own mind and soul and the FREE WILL and CHOICE to not go along with what obviously isn't working! Black women you have seen what isn't working. And the media does not know what is best for you so don't use that as a measuring stick. The music industry is just trying to get paid and laid, so don't take cues from them either.

Blonde hair?

[JaCalsGal]

@pookiebear97 I wondered this too. I have black cousins with naturally blonde hair (my grandmother is mixed and her side of the family has a lot of skin tone and hair/eye color variety), so if it's natural ok. But if it's being dyed?? Umm......

[KamauAmani]

Correction. Michael Jackson suffered from what we call IABB (I'm ashamed of Being Black) syndrom. That's it...

[emptycell]

same ol shit, going around blaming black men for ya problems. you said you were independent, you only messed with thugs. now your supposedly strong ass cant handle the harsh repecaution of being by ya self. burn ankle burn

[raequon]

Its a conspiracy that makes black busted ankles line up all around the block to be a Plies Bust Down Baby? The media is forcing these women to shake their asses for 5 minutes of fame and dough?

Its a conspiracy that black women cant find love because they think they are too good for some decent black men

Its a conspiracy that black women use decent black men, then fuck thugs up and down.

[dealmaker007]

1) There is no "conspiracy to keep the black woman without love"

2) Black women in general consistently make choices that are to their detriment in the long term when they chase immediate gratification. Look at the kind of men yall are choosing to date and mate, and the fact that OOW kids that come from these unions are part of the black woman's challenge in subsequently finding better quality men to settle down with.

I'm going to read your book. can you give me a direct way to obtain it?

[MJJTributePage]

its more a de pigmentation treatment then a surgery they usually remove all pigment from the skin so it gets an even skintone at least thats what they do here as far as i know
