Fox News host Bill O’Reilly questions the racial component to the Michael Jackson story, and ponders why so many blacks are compelled to watch 24-hour coverage of his sudden death when Michael didn’t even want to be black.
O’Reilly points out that MJ bleached his skin white and chose white men to sire his children.
College professor, the very annoying Marc Lamont Hill, engages O’Reilly in a healthy debate on this subject. Although Hill admits that Michael “disfigured his face to resemble white people,” he argues that Jackson is undeniably black. “You can’t take black from him just because he has white kids,” says Hill.
