Michael Jackson's children

Um, am I the only person on the North American continent that has noticed that his kids are WHITE???  I mean, blue eyes and the whole shebang. 

Look, I know how -er- pale he was these last few years, but when he was a kid he was really dark; the laws of genetics are being defied here!

I felt like this was the best place to come to ask the question:  are these kids really his?

Perhaps he carried recessive genes somewhere back in his ancestry that surfaced in his kids.

There are so many rumors about this individual.  Like he used artificial insemination to have kids.  I don't care if his kids were purple.  Personally, I can't imagine what life for the children was like.  I hope the rumors and gossip was all hog wash and the children grew up in somewhat of a normal manner?

He raised them, kinda as nannies did most of the real work, so they are his children.

Biological...eh.  Your guess is as good as mine.  It's not unheard of for biracial children to look like one race and get hardly any traits from the other.  Rashida Jones looks white but her daddy is a black man.

But blue eyes require both parents to carry the recessive gene... in theory he could have been a carrier.

His dad has green eyes, so that's possible.

i think they are all from sperm donors, rowe was merely the surrogate for the oldest two, i believe the youngest is the same, but with a more speculative paper trail.

doesnt really matter, they obviously adored their father and they are all beautiful children...family is who you call home. its not hard to truly love children who are not your biological offspring. bio-parentage is a moot point, imo.

 As a white, green/hazel eyed girl, in theory ..............he could be my dad too. [shoot me now]

C'mon on guys.............M.Jackson was a freak!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is coming from a VERY liberal person.

If it quaks like a duck.................

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO against political correctness......say it like it is, or keep your mouth shut!But, all the .............accolades towards him, imo, are disturbing. 1 effing day before he died.........no one giave 2 sh.  i. t s about him.....................now hei is 'God'. How soon we forgert..............

Learning to type and spell gives a bit more credit to your argument, fitnessgirl. 

haha i think fitnessgirl is drinkin and smokin and posting  shes usually quite articulate but pulls a lower score on pieces of flair. major points for flair tonight f-girl, at least from the texan judge haha.

im workin on a buzz myself waiting for bf to get in town. crap! 2 more hours? sigh...

Who the **** cares? He raised them, he loved them. They loved him. The end.

And I know a mixed girl who has blue eyes too. And get this, her mom has brown hair and brown eyes, but her mom (grandma) has blue eyes.

If being different = freak, then I guess most of us are freaks for not conforming to the norm. It's interesting that we label people based on what the MEDIA and PAPPARAZZI gives us.

On a website where most of have problems with our appearance, you have the nerve to judge someone YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

And fitnessgirl, there are plenty of people who gave plenty of **** about him. Just because we didn't make threads and talked about him 24/7 does not mean we don't care. I was looking forward to his come back and was very excited when I heard about it, then again, I've been a member of a MJ board and have been following him since I got the internet at 15, and I've been a fan since I was 5. STFU

In any other thread about anyone else who has died, no one talks ****, but because it's Michael Jackson, people feel the need to be a low life ****. He is dead, let him BE DEAD. No one likes him yet everyone can't stop talking about him.

Secret crush, perhaps.

We get it, cpt. You're obsessed. We all know by now. 

Guys, I'd like to mention that this thread has been reported for violation.  It is being reviewed by moderators and will be handled apropriately.

In the mean time, I would like to remind everyone that we all have different opinions.  It is completely natural to want to express those opinions, and that is perfectly welcome.  But please refrain from using foul language, being intentionally inflammatory or personally attacking any other members.

Thanks,

Then can I request that we keep the Michael Jackson drama to one thread and not 15? 

My grandkids are of mixed race and unless you seen their dad with them you would never know.  All blue eyed, one with blond hair, one brown hair, one with black hair, all really fair skin.
So don't judge a book by its cover, he raised them and loved them in his own way.

well ive been looking at multi-racial people in my families my whole entire life. i have one cousin that looks like he's some nordic viking but his father is black. now ok thats fair enough the big BUT is that he still has some traits of his dad.

my cousin & his dad have the same shaped face, etc if you look. even tho my family look like different races they still have some traits from their parents that you can see. but im not going to make a judgment call on this particular case, i have not had a close look at his children....

for what ever reasons (biological or not) they are still his kids. however i dont think its anyone's business if they are his kids or not. it must be terrible for them going thru all this.

EDIT: hahaha, i think fitnessgirl might be a bit tipsy, doesn't sound like her. its ok, ive done that myself.

You said .. "I felt like this was the best place to come to ask the question:  are these kids really his?"

He bought, 'em he paid for em' , of course they're really his!

Seriously? Seriously. :(  I wish people would just stop with all the drama/bs in regard to his children. It's sad/disturbing that some people are concerned by the details,imho.

Either way: He was a father to them.

Some people need to mind their own business out of respect for his children,imho.

..I actually thought they looked like him. Maybe I'm just naive.
