I hope this video featuring Lee Thomas will bring more understanding of the disease vitiligo which Michael Jackson suffered with for many years. I especially like the part when Lee said his body is now 35% white so he uses black makeup, but when his body turns more white than black he will use white makeup, which for practical purposes makes good sense. This is the exact scenario that Mr. Jackson followed. I see this as a very reasonable explanation to the doubters who continue to say that Mr. Jackson wanted to be white, despite his numerous statements that he was proud to be an African American. We need to rid the world of ignorance about vitiligo so that the millions who suffer with this disease will have the empathy and not condemnation of others.
