Michael Jackson and Skin Lightening For Album, Publicity Photos:
"No matter how the pictures came out, his first comment was always along the line of, "Can we lighten my skin tone?" In order to keep the peace, the art director tweaked the shots to make him look incrementally less black. The first pass wasn't light enough for him. Nor was the second pass. Nor was the third. Looking at the fourth version of the photo, I said, "Michael, you're not white We're not going any lighter. Accept it" And he did. But not the next time around."

I find the art directors comment to MJ, very very stupid. Just because he wanted to be lighter in a pic, doesn't mean that he wanted to be white. So his comment made no sense. So I guess all the billions of white people in the world that get tans every day, wanna be black? nope don't think so. I get tired of people slandering MJ in the media regarding him wanting to be lighter or less than black. maybe he had some self issues. we can thank the world for making people think that there is something wrong with being dark. been that way for a long time.
