met Michael Jackson while he was being treated for vitiligo in the mid 1980s

I've always been really leery of this excuse for his sudden whiteness.....perhaps the autopsy results will call bullsh*t on this hokem.

He may have very well had vitiligo, but I don’t believe for a minute that it made his entire body an even, flawless shade of white.

Vitiligo causes blotchiness in skin pigmentation but doesn’t bleach someone until they look like Casper. Besides, why didn’t he just put on make-up that would match his original skin tone? When he was a black kid he was pretty decent looking. After he became a white woman with a kajillion facial surgeries, he was nothing more than a sad punchline.

On a side note... Who is the mother of his third kid?

My personal experience with vitiligo has been a gradual loss of pigment over quite a number of years. Admittedly, I was always pretty fair-skinned, but the color didn’t leach out overnight. It took years. I can still get a pretty fair suntan on my elbows, LOL. Other than that it’s a little blotchy here and there. Never felt a need to treat anything, just stay out of the sun. However, I have seen darker skinned people with it, and they can look like black and white hound dogs, so I can understand.
