Michael Jackson's son Prince Michael may have vitiligo

prince-michael-funeral-2.jpgMichael Jackson was long ridiculed for having bleached his skin. But he always maintained he had a rare skin condition called vitiligo. And his autopsy actually confirmed that he did, the NY Daily News had reported.

Now the Daily Mail is reporting that  it looks like his oldest son, Prince Michael, 11, may have the same condition.

In several recent photos taken of the boy on a Hawaiian vacation, patches of very white skin can be seen in his armpit.

And with Prince Michael showing signs of vitiligo, some people say this is proof that Jackson was the teen's biological parent.

This would certainly let Michael's dermatologist Arnold Klein -- long rumored to have been Michael Jackson's oldest children's sperm donor -- off the hook. His nurse, Debbie Rowe, who was married to Michael from 1996-1999, gave birth to Prince Michael and Paris.

What do you think? Does Prince Michael have the skin condition his father did? Or could the photos could have been Photoshopped to make it look like he does?

Not enough money could Tiger give
Elin for coping with the trash
he took to his bed...

Its impossible for him to have the same condition because he wasn't Jackson's biological offspring. None
of those kids were biologically Michael Jackson's. He "disfigured"
his face because he hated father and didn't want to look like him.
Why would he take the chance of having kids that might look like Joe Jackson.

Prince Michael is 13 years old and he does have vitiligo; it's not just under his arm it is on his hands, neck, and right wrist. If anyone would do a simple google search or youtube search he or she can see it for themselves. Those kids do look like Michael and they are not(excluding Blanket because I don't know if his mother is black, white, or whatever) simply half white and black. Michael wasn't 100% black. And not all mixed/biracial children look like Halle Berry or Barack Obama. Pick up a textbook and read about "passing for white" or if you are too lazy, Google it. Educate yourselves, Black history is American history.

"This would certainly let Michael's dermatologist Arnold Klein -- long rumored to have been Michael Jackson's oldest children's sperm donor -- off the hook."

Off the hook? Klein did everything he could to try to convince the world that he was the father of Michael Jackson's kids! He even showboated in court over their custody, knowing that he had no standing whatsoever. HE WANTS THEIR MONEY!

Michael Jackson is the father of his children. The autopsy confirmed that he was actively producing sperm. He would never ask any guy for a "sperm donation", certainly not an ugly cockeyed obese toad like Arnie Klein.

Photoshopped?..... Really?.... Are you people getting dummer? Leave his kids alone and go get something called a life. SERIOUSLY!!!
And whats with the random tiger woods comment @lyn young... LOL

I also have this. It's horrible!

Okay, people...here goes...

The real MJ died years ago. Compare publicity stills. They've just been hiring replacements and concocted the 'plastic surgery' story to explain away his different looks and colors. His voice even sounds different. Check out the thriller track with the 'later' songs.

The three children ascribed to him are WHITE. Bleaching your skin doesn't go through to DNA.

They wanted to keep the legacy of Michael Jackson alive, it was just unfortunate that the latest one they hired had a predeliction for small children.

Twenty years from now, they'll call me a prophet.

Stop the lies, these kids are NOT Michael Jacksons kids, there is not one twinge of a Black father in them. As the uncle of 6 bi-racial kids, let me tell you as a FACT you may get one or two that 'look' closer to one race or another, but you wont get 3 IN A ROW. Genetically impossible. MJack didn't donate anything to these kids except a trust fund. And they FOUND the bleaching cream on his property, the police photographs are all over the internet. Black people with vitiligo dont use makeup to paint themselves White, they use it to return to their own complexion. He bleached his skin, weaved his hair, butchered his nose and lips, because he didn't want to be black anymore. And we as a community have got to STOP giving him excuses just because he sold a lot of records.

RE: Weiss C...

I've never heard of these so called "police photos" of skin bleaching cream. The only skin cream Michael had was that used to cover his skin disease. The autopsy confirmed Michael had vitiligo (this is FACT & something that can't be fudged/faked like your "police photos").

Could Michael have used black skin cream to hide the vitiligo? I don't know, probably. But who cares? That was his choice.

I don't know where I read it, but it was always my understanding that he chose white cream (not bleach, just plain cream) because it gave a better or more natural effect/appearance than any black cream for vitiligo patients.

As for his oldest son having it... LEAVE PRINCE ALONE. Geez, the boy doesn't need all the media debating over it like they did with his father. Let him deal with it in private if he does have it too.

And Weiss C, it wasn't 3 kids in a row. Only two of them come from the same mother... one comes from another. So it's just two bi-racial kids whose mother's DNA was dominant instead of the father. Can't be that unusual.

Michael was their father in all the ways that mattered. He loved them greatly and raised them. Nothing can erase that. They all clearly loved him deeply.

All of you headline seekers need to take this down. I'm surprised it took you all as long as it did to identify the clearly visible indicators on a child who was trying to vacation privately away from the public eye as it were during a difficult time in the first place. The photographer also should be ashamed for releasing the pictures. Michael tried to endure the ravages of his vitiligo in private, and every last one of you are ensuring that this 13-year-old child endures his as publicly as possible. Please don't hold up a child without his consent as the proof all of you doubters and hounds-of-scoops needed all along--that was your issue, your problem; not this child's. You all need to hang your heads in shame for judging Michael Jackson so harshly withOUT using his child publicly to alleviate doubts on an issue you clearly had no rights to proof for anyway on his father. As a parent, I would prefer you continue to doubt me than to use my child in this manner forcing him to deal with a clearly personal issue publicly. This is disgraceful.
