Did Michael Jackson want to be white?

12:12 AM

Photographs of the cute, fresh-faced child with the big Afro hairstyle bear little resemblance to the man Michael Jackson became in later life.

Was he trying to turn himself into a white man? It certainly seemed so.
His paranoia about his appearance stemmed from childhood. Apparently, one of his father's insults was to call him Big Nose.





Changing face of the King of Pop: Michael Jackson's Afro-American features receded further with every plastic surgery operation
The taunt stayed with him into adulthood and as soon as he could, he had his nose reshaped.
The cover of Thriller, the album that marked his ascension to global superstardom in 1982, was a turning point.

It shows Michael as a sweet-faced young black man with naturally curly hair and a full nose.
Five years later, his Diana Ross lookalike cover photo on the Bad album revealed a face that bore little resemblance to the Jackson everyone had known.

Five years after that, in 1992, even he had to acknowledge what everyone else had been saying and admitted his skin was becoming whiter.

There are two versions of what happened. According to Jackson, he had developed a rare skin-lightening condition called vitiligo.

1971: Teenage heart-throb



1986: At the peak of his fame


1992: The surgery starts to show


2002: Shocking signs of damage



2003: Pale shadow of himself

It is not entirely clear what causes vitiligo, but it is believed to be an auto-immune disorder where the body attacks the melanocytes, the specialised skin cells that manufacture the skin pigment melanin.


And in keeping with this diagnosis, Jackson's complexion did become steadily paler. But some critics have never believed the explanation that he was suffering vitiligo, preferring instead to believe that he was trying to turn himself into a white man.


Dr Pamela Lipkin, a New York surgeon, says Michael had been having plastic surgery since his teens, including alterations to his brow, chin and cheeks, as well as skin bleaching.


As a child, he had a classic shaped African-American nose, full and broad. In later years, no one can argue that at the time of his death the nose was thinner, daintier and rather feminine.

Cikgu bertanya kepada murid-muridnya,

"Siapa yang pandai membilang?

"Seman mengangkat tangan.

"Betul ke kamu pandai membilang?"

"Tahu Cikgu. Ayah yang ajar."

"Baik, cuba kita lihat.

Selepas tiga, berapa?"

"Empat."

"Bagus. Selepas enam?"

"Tujuh."

" Selepas sembilan?"

"Sepuluh...", jawab Seman.

"Bagus sekali. Rupanya ayah kamu benar-benar tahu bagaimana mengajar membilang.

Selepas sepuluh berapa?" tanya Cikgu lagi.

Dengan senyum penuh keyakinan, Seman menjawab, "Jack, Queen, danKing."

Kawin..kawin

9:10 PM

hahaha.. lama giler daku tidak mengupdate kan blog ku ini..
intention tu ada... tp, biasala tangguh punya tangguh terus lenyap..

neway, juz nak story bout 1 wedding ni.. a friend of me la kan.. zaman2 blajo kat U dulu..
nasib baik aku and the gang plan nak gi.. kalau x, xda batch kami yang attend wedding die..
well, aku x pernah gi rumah dia.. so, kawan aku la yang jadi tourist driver..

tema wedding dia, orange.. rupenya ramai adik-beradik die.. muka sumer sedondon.. yelah adik beradik.. yang unik nyer semua pandai speaking mandarin well..

kawan aku ni akad nikah hari ahad tuh juga around 10 a.m.. then dia dijangkakan bersanding around 12 p.m la.. time kiteorg sampai tuh lebih kurang kul 1 la.. pengantin x siap2 lagi..
lambat pun pasal tunggu mamat kawan tuh dari putrajaya..

nak dijadikan citer.. sesampai kiteorg kat rumah pengantin..kiteorg pun menyerbula bilik pengantin.. nak ambil berkat kununnya.. nak duk reramai dalam tuh rimas.. so, kawan aku yang agak kebulur ni ajakla makan.. kiteorg pun makan dengan sesedap hatinya.. kawan aku punya la lapor sampai nak terjatuh dari kerusi yang dia duduk..[ ude..ude, nak jadi bini orang pun perangai ttp macam mafia]

dah habis makan, kiteorg lepak dalam rumah pengantin.. xklusif la sikit. masa tuh dah pukul 2.. pengantin x siap2 lagi.. tetibe kiteorg nampak la kelibat pengantin lelaki dengan muka yang mencuka.. marah sangat kot, mak andam lambat sangat menyolek bini dia..

kiteorg tgk laki kawan kiteorg tuh dah naik hangin.. sesudah pengantin ready nak bersanding, lagi sekali laki kawan aku tuh buat perangai.. xnak bersanding... biler dipakse-pakse baru nak, tapi ditelengkan kepalanya kat persandingan tuh.. mulut xhabis-habis membebel.. marahkan semua orang.. kawan aku pun muka cam nak nangis jer.. kiteorang ni yang nak amik gambar dgn pengantin terus batalkan urusan itu.. takut2 pengantin tuh hangin ngan kiteorg.. maklumlah dahla xmakan lagi..kang ngan kiteorg plak dia makan..

tanpa disangka-sangka kiteorg dgr la cakap2 blkg yang mengatakan keluarga kawan aku ni x suka ngan suami pilihan hatinya tuh.. masa bercinta dah bergaduh-gaduh... cemburu tak bertempat laki tuh.. tibe2 datang kakak pengantin di sebelah kiteorg dan dengan selambanya kata " muka macam penagih dadah " ditujukan kepada pengantin lelaki..

ish..ish.. kiteorg terus terdiam.. kakak pengantin tuh yang bercakap sendiri.. selepas itu kiteorg terusla pulang dan nge'tea' disebuah kopitiam berdekatan dgn rumah pengantin sambil berbual-bual ttg perkembangan terbaru masing2 sambil mengimbau kenangan dolu2..

tunggu turn kawan2 aku yang nak kawin plak pasni.. aaku ni tolong hadir jer.. turn aku bila la plak...
