This is it, I swear. My You Tube obsession knows no bounds. First, Michael Jackson DID have vitiligo, and it was the height of cruelty for people to continue to indicate he cosmetically whitened his skin. There are videos all over You Tube that would convince any normal person of this. It really is vicious cruelty to continue to make fun of him for a disease neither he, nor any other person, could help. If you have any pretense of being "fair," you owe it to yourself to watch any of the several factual videos that show Michael's uneven skin tone developing over time, and all the different people with the same condition that prove that people with darker skin tones than Michael could turn even paler than he did. He was diagnosed with vitiligo AND lupus, a painful and potentially fatal disorder, in 1984. So, when I was running around with not a care in my head, and he was already coping with these serious diseases.
Second - there's a lot of sick slash out there. This isn't sick, I don't think. It's sort of . . . um . . .
Check out Hagrid saying, "Yeah!" LOL!

I also wanted to comment that since Michael Jackson has died, a certain sort of person has been the one to gloat, mock or laugh. I agree with the Rev. Al Sharpton. Michael was a genius, not a freak. I've written about freaks. My first published stories, and my first novel, were about freaks. What is on the outside only seldom agrees with what is on the inside. And - we all know a freak who could have used some genetic modifications. No surprise to see him dancing on the grave of a dead man, who is mourned by three-quarters of the world, and everyone with a heart. That's why God made worms, so people like that could be reborn into them.
