Tito Jackson Defends Michael Jackson – In an interview with Britain’s The Mirror Michael Jackson’s older brother Tito Jackson blasted people who are claiming that the pop star was bleaching his skin to appear white.
On the reason why the Thriller singer lightened his skin ,Tito said:
“He wasn’t trying to make himself look less black. My brother had a case of vitiligo. His body was blotching and he chose to bleach out the blotches with dermatologist creams.”
The Jackson 5 guitarist added:
“He wanted to have uniform skin. It had nothing to do with him wanting to change his race. It was due to the loss of pigmentation. If I had no pigment I would be just the same.I don’t know if he was embarrassed, but he knew his body was going through changes. He just wanted to look as good as he could.”
He concluded by:
“He had no choice in the matter, otherwise he would have looked like a spotted animal or a cow with spots all over him. It spreads and grows, you can catch it any time and can’t do a lot about it. That’s why he just had to carry on bleaching his whole life. He was trying to get himself as attractive as he could, to make himself presentable as a celebrity.”
If he did or didn’t bleach his skin is no one’s concern. People are so miserable and bored that they have to talk about someone’s skin. WTF. Hater’s need to get a life. I don’t care what color he was, I wish I had the chance to be his friend and hang out with him, he probably was the coolest and funniest person to be around. I don’t blame him for not wanting to deal with the public or stupid ass people or his father. Funny how everyone is all concerned about him now. People make you want to recluse and withdraw. They just want to beg, borrow and steal from you and then turn around and talk about you after you are nice and generous to them. Michael’s did nothing wrong, he was used and abused by people around him, the media and lying poor ass families trying to make a profit and taking his kindness for granted. Even now, he can’t have peace with his body in one place and brain in another place and people fighting over a burial location, can we please put this man to rest so his soul can rest peacefully?
right on Tito
WTF…. do we as people have nothing better to talk about. I mean come on ….. WHO really cares if MJ bleach his skin for whatever reason….. IT was his business and no one elses… LEAVE HIM ALONE. If we would have left him alone in the FIRST place he would have never endure with half the $#!* he had to deal with when he was leaving. I don’t care how he changed his face, skin, and etc…. I LOVED MICHEAL for what he gave us ….. GOOD MUSIC, UNBEATABLE ENTERTAINMENT, A BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND SMILE, AND A GIVING HEART… so to ALL the MEDIA ….. SHUT the F___K UP!!!!!. Half of US don’t even buy your $#!* about MJ anymore. You may have fooled some of us once, but not twice. REST IN PEACE MJ, and May GOD bless you and your family.
I still cant believe that educated people still believe that someone can bleach their skin and turn it into perfect white WTF!!
He had told time and again that he is suffering from Vitiligo which is no strange disease to the world that people dont know what happens.
MJ Poor soul, instead of speculating on his skin disease have you ever thought of all the troubles that he might undergone looking that bad on his skin. He would have got embarassed himself to go out without makeup or be normal in his skin. People would have ridiculed him and said that he looks like a cow or something. HAve you ever imagined him being close with a woman when your skin is that blotched, may be that could also be one of the reason why he never was woman in the fear of rejection, but the media said he was Gay. Just think about all the humiliation and problems that he might have undergone and still cared enough for the world and the fans.
I will always love Michael – you are one of a kind, a very rare and precious jewel in this world.
I AGREE WITH YOU MJS GURL! BUT I WISH I WAS HIS FRIEND. HE SEEMED COOL AND DOWN TO EARTH. I WOULD HAVE SHOWED HIM WHAT IS LIKE IT WOULD BE LIKE TO HAVE REAL FRIENDS. I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED MICHAEL HAD A SKIN DISEASE EVEN WHEN NO ONE DID. MICHAEL JACKSON WAS USED AND ABUSED BY HIS SO CALLED FRIENDS. IT MAKES ME SO MAD! THIS MAN GAVE OUT UNTIL HE GAVE IN LET HIM REST IN PEACE.DONT PEOPLE THINK THEY HAVE ALREADY DEHUMANIZED HIM ENOUGH? ITS TIME FOR YOU ALL TO SEE THE REAL MICHAEL JACKSON. THE KIND GIVING OPEN MINDED AND INTELLIGENT MICHAEL. NOT THE WHITE WANNA BE LIAR THE MEDIA HAS MADE HIM OUT TO BE. MICHAEL JACKSON CARED FOR ALL OF US MATTER WHAT RACE OR AGE YOU ARE. WE ARE GONNA MISS YOU MICHAEL YOUR VOICE MOST OF ALL YOUR PRESENCE. WE ARE THE WORLD WE ARE THE CHILDREN WE ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE A BRIGHTER DAY SO LETS START GIVING.MICHAEL JACKSON IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE AN ANGEL IN MY EYES. NO MATTER WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY OR THINK OF HIM. RIP MJ LONG LIVE THE KING
Good for you Tito, condemned every demon that comes up against you and your family in the blood name of Jesus. Michael had the mind of Christ and only people who look on the heard instead of the flesh could see that he love or tried to love everyone as Jesus did. I loved Michael for that and I saw this in him, this love. Michael was a very courageous man who obviously had a strong faith in the Lord. I only wish I could have met Michael in his life here on earth but I know I will meet him here, in the new earth, when or Lord root out wickedness in the heavens and earth and restore his original plans for man. I look forward to this day to come soon. In the meantime, Michael is resting with the Lord as with everyone who passed on that accepted Christ as Lord.
We all have sinned but praise the Lord our sins are forgiven. So who is anyone to cast stones at Michael or anybody, because we all are nothing but dust. We all have the exact same thing in common, and to look forward, that’s death.
So stop being foolish you unforgiving people out there acting like you are something when you are nothing, this goes for everybody on the face of the earth, we are nothing but dust. If any man/woman thinks he’s something when he is nothing, he is a fool and deceive his own self. PLEASE DON’T GET ME STARTED.
