Ignorance is Bliss

Posted by Bossip Staff

Michael Jackson 1

Michael Jackson reaches out to Ebony Magazine and shares his views on gossip and him being the same old Michael he was back in his Thriller days:

“I don’t pay attention to that. In my opinion, it’s ignorance. It’s usually not based on fact. … Every neighborhood has the guy who you don’t see, so you gossip about him. You see those stories about him, there’s the myth that he did this or he did that. People are crazy!”

“That Michael is probably the same Michael here. I just wanted to get certain things accomplished first. But I always had this tug in the back of my head, the things I wanted to do, to raise children, have children. I’m enjoying it very much.”

Michael is right but in his case we do see him and although there may be “myths” about what he has done, we can still see his face and that is not the same Michael that was in Thriller.

    My eyes, my eyes……….

    Damn Bossip gossip should be about the beautiful people….WTF?


  7. A man is not only his face. A man is also his soul.

    And Mike’s soul has been on display for the world to see since he was 4 years old.

    If we put a microscope on the face of any of these Full-Time haters at Bossip we would see all kinds bumps, sores and funky ***** abrasions – so give Mike a break.

    His soul is still the same.

    ________________________________

    Yeah but I’m pretty sure the rest of his ***** is bleached pastey white too…down to his pressed/permed pubic hair *shudders* SCURRRRY

  16. FineAsWine

    MICHEAL IS FOR SURE A THRILLER NOW

    SORRY MIKE

    HAVE YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON MAKE A MASK OF YOUR OLD FACE FOR YOU TO WEAR

    INSTEAD OF THE WHITE ONE YOU CANT TAKE OFF!!

  17. Notch

    @denmark,

    He might be a good person and all but there is no reason to bleach your skin to make it the color of chalk. Character comes out in your self esteem as well and clearly Mikey got issues with his changing his whole damn appearance.

    PS…my skin is glowing..so ha!!

  18. Kay

    That picture is scary!

    When my 4yr old sees him, she is scared too! That’s a shame, he says he loves children, but he scares them to death!

  19. People of color

    You can’t undo or do what GOD has done. When he made man/woman you were the orignal and you can’t change that. Man alway mess up and MJ messed up trying to be WHITE and was born BLACK. You can’t touch GOD word no matter how hard you try. And after all that he still a BLACK man

  20. UptownGirl

    Mike look at “The (wo)Man in the Mirror” and you will see you definetly are not the same from Thriller.

  21. Bahama Mama

    well mike got his wish of lookin like a wax statue!!!

  22. FineAsWine

    STOOPID^^^^

    LOL

  23. Bahama Mama

    was it something I said FAW??? lol

  24. lexdiamonz

    LMFAO at powder so wrong yet true how the mighty fall just like all black celebs they come running back home when YT turn on them.

  25. FineAsWine

    TOO MUCH ‘BAHAMA’ MAMA!!!!!

    LOL

  26. Curly Fries

    He was better looking before he became a crack-r.

  27. Curly Fries

    Sorry about that last post–just the angst of living day-to-day as a soul sister amongst the racism of the….oh well…

  28. Tara

    Move the f.ck on. He’s right, he IS the same guy he was during thriller. He doesn’t look the same but so what! Yall need to get over it. Michael’s skin has been pale for almost 20 years now. It’s time to move the f.ck on.

  29. John

    Micheal look verry scary. I wouldn’t want to meet him on a dark street at night, I probaly have heart attack!! Damn Mike, What happen to you????

  30. John

    Mike is not pale, Hes’ WHITE!!!!!!!!!

  31. Mary J Blige

    any picture of Mike’s face should be labelled NSFW (not safe for work). damit. i screamed so loud you could hear it all over the Universal Music building.

    Mary

  32. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    It’s so sad how he’s completely destroyed an otherwise handsome face. I mean other than needing a bit of Proactive for the acne back in the day, he was good looking. Now, he just scares the bejesus outta me.

  34. Harlem Chic

    *Gasp*

    Mike Jack’s face look like Casper the Unfriendly Ghost.

    Whom ever took the money and did that to his face should be under a prison cell. See what happens when you use white folks as a measuring stick for beauty?

  35. Melissa

    His eyebrow game is on point though, I’ll give him that.

    Taking a Closer Look at the Stories Ignored by the Mainstrean Media

  37. Pervster

    Michael says:

    ..”But I always had this tug in the back of my head”…

    That was the surgeon pulling your scalp back over your cranium after the nip/tuck was complete.

  38. dontaskme4shyt

    He looks like he should be committed


  39. WHAT UP MAHOGANY.

    WHEN I SAW THIS PIC MY FIRST REACTION WAS….

    DAMN ( AS I JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT )

    HE LOOK LIKE AN ALIEN!

  40. that*****

    Why are folks so surprised every time they see a pic of MJ. ***** been lookin like that for 15 years. If he like it, I love it. And folks should think about people like MJ, Lil kim and other insecure black people when yall sit here and clown how a person looks. Bossip is notorious for calling Jay “camel toe” because of his big lips or saying 50 looks like a monkey. MJ probably heard this same ***** when he was younger, which is why he ultimately ***** up his face.

  41. John

    I was wondering if the rest of Michaels’ body is as white as his face?? That would be strange if his boby was its normal color and his face is bleach white!!

  42. Mahogany

    What’s up PCF!

    What really boggles me about all this is…………..did the chimp come out okay?

    :)

  43. Tara

    Really John? That’s what you waste your time thinking about?? What color Michael Jackson’s body is?? ReallY?

  44. Blacksmith

    @ John, yes his body is all the same color. He did a couple videos back in the day with a t-shirt on and you can see his arms and upper chest.

    I still call it vitiligo, my mom and brother have it. Because he’s an entertainer, I’m sure Mike took the steroid cream to lighten his skin instead of going through the ’slow’ process of losing skin pigment over time. With that cream, you have to sit under a special light for 15-20 minutes a day. It takes time. If anyone can remember the ‘BAD’ album cover or video, he was a little light. Then when the next album and video’s came out, he was even lighter than before. That’s what that steroid cream does. People must think…would you rather see him like this or with his brown skin and white patches all over? Look it up on the web.

  45. bee-mice-elf

    Which Michael ‘loved’ the kids a bit too much?

  46. Blacksmith

    LOL! “DID THE CHIMP MAKE IT OUT OKAY?” Hilarious!

  47. NubianGoddez

    Go away your freak! you were great once but your self hate and crazy ***** behaviors ruined you. your 15 min are over put a fork in yourself your done. go away to your kids whom you bought from a sperm bank.

  48. 504okaay

    WOW MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO LAUGH @ THIS PIC BUT AS I STARTED LAUGHING, I ACTUALLY STARTED FEELING VERY SAD & STARTED TEARING UP BECAUSE THAT MAN HAS TOTALLY ALTERED HIS FACE TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN. I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT HIS SKIN BUT HIS FACIAL FEATURES (NOSE, LIPS, CHEEKS, CHIN, ETC) HE WAS JUST AS LIKE WHEN HE DID THE “BAD” ALBUM BUT HIS FACE LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN IT DOES NOW. IF I HAVEN’T WATCHED TV OR READ MAGAZINES OR NEWSPAPER SINCE THAT ALBUM, I WOULD NEVER BELIEVE THAT WAS THE SAME PERSON…NEVER !!! SORRY TO GET SERIOUS ON YA’LL BUT I’M REALLY SADDEN OVER HIS APPEARANCE. I KNOW I KNOW, HE GOT MORE MONEY THAN ME BLAH BLAH BLAH…JUST LOOK AT HIM !!!!

  49. 504okaay

  50. MICHAEL AIS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF “SELF HATE”

    HE IS A DAMN DISGRACE!

    I feel ya on that one,I feel a little bad for Mike my damn self.I blame PaPa Joe for it though,instead of pushing him to be a child star,he should have shown him a little love and maybe just maybe Micheal wouldn’t be as self hating as he is now.But He still Got that lace front game on lock,I ain’t mad at you Mike.

  52. up2nogood

    He should have just chosen the Derma Blend make-up instead of the lighting cream. That way he would have stayed his original color. He looks like a middle age white woman.

  53. John

    Don’t get upset Tara, It just a thought. Chill


  54. ERYTIME I SEE HIM HE LOOKS LIKE HES GETTIN WHITER SHOW HIM SOME SUN QUICK HES TURNIN TO POWDER

    @ Lawdhavemercy

    I’m with you on this…it’s so much more of a bigger issue than he’s turned up white and cut up his face. yeah, the flash in his face doesn’t help his cause, but still, the issues there are huge… breaks my heart…

  61. samira

    I feel really sorry for him!!! His mind was not strong enought to tell him to STOP before he went too far.

  64. OH OH OH MY LIVIN GOD! What the hell happen to Mike! Damn that close-up photo is horrifying it scared me! PLEASE NO PICTURES!!!!!!!

    Why would anyone want to cling to ignorance?

    It has been repeatedly do*****ented that Michael Jackson suffers from vitiligo. Instead of making stupid, uninformed comments about what choice of make-up he could or should have been using, spend the time educating yourself about the condition and treatment options. If you took the same amount of time to look up facts and information as you do making uninformed comments about a man’s inner feelings about race and self that you would have no way of knowing, you would see how ignorant you come off with your comments. It is not as simple as using a darker shade of makeup depending on the extensiveness of the disease.

    You need to also be reminded that, as with any disease, you or someone you love, may very well get vitiligo. Are you then going to tell them that they must be self-haters of their race? Are you going to make fun of their pale skin color? Are you going to tell them how scary they look? Will you be understanding when others stand around insulting your loved one over a condition that they can not help having? Will you be understanding when people prefer to make ignorant statements about their appearance rather than have empathy?

    I see a young student in school with the beginnings of it; I could never imagine saying any of the things that you are posting. I could never be that cruel of a person and would never want to be. Cruelty is not something that makes you “cool” or beautiful.

    As for cosmetic/plastic surgery, to each his own. I’m sure that are many hear with weaves, relaxers, wigs, make-up on the face, cosmetically changed features, etc. You aren’t exactly as you were without any changes yourselves.

    If you are truly concerned about his feelings towards his race, there are many quotes from him and others who actually know him (not tabloid reporters and those reading gossip for news and information) that go to the heart of the matter. There is a wealth of information concerning his giving to organizations that support people of his race.

    If you truly want to be truthful, you will seek out the truth. Otherwise, you would be admitting that you like clinging to ignorance. And for that, Michael Jackson would rise above you all know matter his looks or yours. Ignorance and the desire to stay in that ignorance is far uglier than any physical trait.

    One person even commented how much Michael Jackson lies, yet didn’t offer a shred of proof of what lies were told in the Ebony article. Comments about his children were made regardless of the facts that have been cited concerning his relationship with his children from people who have first-hand knowledge.

    It seems that Michael Jackson may not be the one with “inner issues” but those hear with the need to project feelings and thoughts onto him and his life that have no factual basis.

    Shallowness to the point of wanting to cling to ignorant and baseless “opinions” is far sadder than anything about Michael Jackson’s looks.

  66. Life

    He should NOT be allow to have children anywhere near him BUT i think what he’s done to himself puts him into a another league unlike any man before him and thats what he wanted, unfortunately~ He has to be insane, of course, to do this to himself, but its also intriguing, to me, what he has done here~ Somehow i get the feeling he smells like some sort of chemical, maybe embalming fluid or bleach? I think the government must have experimented on his parents back in the 50s like they did what them airmen of Tuskegee, put something into their vaccines and thats why they created these strange children!

  67. Qi-Qi

    As I was scrolling down and came up on this photo it literally startled me. I agree no photos please. My 6 year had just walked away. How in the hell would I explain yes son this IS an actual human being and NOT something from a horror movie. I really feel for Michael. And is he wearing a lace front??


  68. ^^^^^^ROTFLMAO right what do you tell him? tell him it was part of a horror movie and it wasn’t real??

  69. dayg715

    Michael is The King Of Pop. he can do whatever the ***** he wants. and he did NOT molest anybody’s damn child, either.

  70. Jason

    Why did you use a photo of Jackson that’s 5 years old? I don’t know whether he had some more work done, but for a a guy who’s nearly 50 he looks better than what he did during his early-to-mid 40’s (posted photo). Not saying he looks good now, but he doesn’t look as ***** as he did a couple of years ago…Just saying..


  71. :) Alot of information, I have hever seen before a such useful thing. Thank you :)


  72. Great website!! Keep up the good work!!
