Imagine if MJ got big in the social media age and was this big black popstar then all of a sudden bleaches his skin. What do you think the reaction would be if it happened these days?

He would be cancelled expeditiously

The same way they did back then.

Talk s*** and turn their backs against the King

we failed him

when s*** hits the fan is you still a fan

when s*** hits the fan is you still a fan

when s*** hits the fan is you still a fan

In

meme galore

The same way

There were a lot of ppl who thought it was self hate

But also this

bruh would be see through by now

We have a better version of mj now so who cares

Chris Brown 🙏

We'd wish him well, since Vitiligo is a serious skin condition that could lead to skin cancer.

Ohhhhhhh I’m blinded by the lights

the shade room comments would not be kind

It wouldn’t be that bad because we know more about vitiligo now.

People would be nicer to the skin change, but the black community definitely would've been harsher on the nose job/hairstyle/white kids/white wife.

The same way they did in 1987 and 1991 during the debut of both the Bad and Black or White short films.

Michael Jackson’s changing appearance at the beginning of both the Bad and Dangerous era’s was often brought up in the media as to why the album sales were not matching the speed of sale of the Thriller album.

You would hope given the era of receipts and how information can be spread that the evidence of MJs vitiligo would be common knowledge but this is Michael Jackson so there is always a different standard applied for that man.

Noname would be on his ass.
