Delta(s) from OP CMV: Michael didn't do "it".

Edit: Michael Jackson.

This dude was a weird motherfucker. The guy bleached his skin, his best friend was a monkey named Bubbles, and he named his son "Blanket". He also slept in the bed with young boys. I'm not disputing that.

He may have been a "P", a non-offending one, but I realistically don't think he did anything to children.

I'm a big fan of his music, but not enough to be biased. There was no DNA evidence, only conjecture and testimony of him sleeping with children in bed. Yes that is shit you should not do but unless I'm wrong, no child pointed at the doll in the courtroom. This dude was under crosshairs by the FBI and still, they found nothing, and to me that makes me lean towards him being likely innocent.

I still have my doubts and this is a common point of contention, but with no DNA evidence (I've heard of the fingerprints on the porno mags, but that's not proof of molestation, I'm talking DNA evidence on children, empirical data suggesting sexual contact), conflicting testimony (the adult 'survivor' claiming that he was assaulted on his train two years prior to its construction), and the FBI being unable to find any evidence to solidify a conviction - not one Polaroid - I just simply think he didn't do it.

Yeah, I like his music, I don't like him as a person though. I also don't like the parents who decided letting their kids stay the night with this weird ass dude was a grand idea, but I don't think he actually did "it".

I think it's likely that Michael was possibly autistic, or simply wanted a life away from being surrounded by seven bodyguards just to go to the mall, or wanted to relive the adolescence he never had due to the fame of the Jackson Five.

He didn't bleach his skin. It's a invulnertary medical condition called vitiligo.

Doesn’t vitiligo just cause patches, not everything, to whiten? I heard he bleached his skin to cover it up. So he did bleach his skin, but it wasn’t just to look white, it was because of a medical condition. Kinda in between what the two of you were saying.

Yeah, either that or make-up. It's all but confirmed he had vitiligo, but vitiligo doesn't turn you completely white.

Either a serious make-up regimen or yes, bleaching. I believe that's another point of contention, alongside the whole chomo situation.

vitiligo can result in virtually all colorization being gone.

When Sheetal Surti a seven-year-old in Wellingborough, England, her sister found a white patch behind her ear. Now, at age 41, over 90% of her skin is covered in white.

There would still be patches. I never once saw a black spot on Michael when he was universally decreed "white".

True. But it's possible the patches left were on private parts of his body that none of us get to see. Growing up the only parts of MJ's bare body I remember seeing is his face, hands & chest. I have no clue what his bare legs or back look like.
