I believe we are all aware of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson who died June 15 2009. He was know for his remarkable dances steps (Moon Walk) and his love for children.
He has lived most of his life, under several discriminations, until his death. One of them is the accusation of bleaching his skin.
Michael, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 1993, Michael said, “I love blacks, it was never my decision, I could not help it.
Michael Jackson has a skin infection called VITILIGO ….
Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. The patches of skin affected become white and usually have sharp margins. The hair from the skin may also become white. The inside of the mouth and nose may also be involved…
Vitiligo occurs when pigment-producing cells die or stop functioning.
Loss of skin colour can affect any part of the body, including the mouth, hair and eyes. It may be more noticeable in people with darker skin.
Treatment may improve the appearance of the skin but doesn’t cure the disease.
This brought shame to Michael, when he then introduced the one hand glove in 1985.
Here are some pictures of him with vitiligo
He has suffered this infection from childhood and as at then and until now, vitiligo does not have a cure, this lead to Michael try to neutralize his skin colour.
However, by so doing, it does not stop the vitiligo from spreading… This was how he became white and could not withstand the direct rays from sunlight.
