To think I'm the only one who has noticed that Michael jackson's children

[Number44]

don't appear to have inherited many of his genes ?

I mean he was black right?

but it is michael jackson,
you cannot say It Happens.
surely

yes he was their dad so tbh it doesnt matter up thread a bit stealth Blankets name is prince michael the 2nd,

So if you knew a child in real life who looked nothing like their parents would you speculate about it in public?

Or would you realise that the child could be adopted, conceived using donated sperm/egg or simply not resemble its parents and that actually its dna is pretty irrelevant anyway?

ahh yes of course. I started to think he was really called Blanket :(

I was actually asked "Where are you from? Your all very dark" in Mcdonalds a few weeks ago!

I have olive skin, DD is darker than me, and DS is my colouring. Their Dad is blonde haired and blue eyed. I was born in Berkshire, my parents were both 'tanned' colouring.

Nope he has the same name as his brother

I don't know about Michael Jackson but I can say the colour difference happens. My Dad's family are Italian, all black haired and brown eyed on that side except for one blue-eyed blonde who's the image of a photo of our great x 2 grandmother.

I doubt the is the biological father of any of his children - based on the fact he loathed his own looks so much.

"Who cares what any of your children look like? They aren't his children, the world and his wife know that."

THEY ARE HIS FUCKING CHILDREN.

Whether he spunked in a cup, paid someone to spunk in a cup, adopted them from a Belorussian orphanage or plain old shagged their mother(s).

*Belarusian, but the point still stands...

Back in '64,when I was a baby, my (white) mother married a black man. I am white also.

47 years on...woe betide anyone who says he isn't my dad 'cos we are different colours.

I think Paris looks a bit like Michael, but bizarrely, the grown up, post plastic surgery Michael - so that's obviously rubbish!
Prince - no way is he a Jackson
Blanket - maybe.

Hmm.. could never really get Billie Jean somehow. Mind you the words are certainly relevant to this discussion...

Michael Jackson is their father.

He has cared for them, loved them, been there for them since their birth until he died. He adored those kids.

It doesn't matter whether he is genetically linked to them or not.

Just like kids of absent fathers look upon their step-dad as their dad.

I find this thread really distasteful. These are children, living breathing and presumably Internet using children. Why should it be okay to debate their parentage in a public forum like this? Would it be okay to discuss a neighbours kids here in the same way?

Jeezy you joined the conversation, no one made you.

The OP wasnt suggesting that he didnt care for them, just that it is a bit odd that some people, and the press seem to insist he is their biological father.

I think its hugely unfair to say people who make these assumptions are ignorant. They are exactly the opposite actually as they are using their scientific knowledge. Yes, it would be the height of rudeness to approach a black man with white children and demand 'are they yours then?!' but I dont see why discussing it is taboo. Surely you know people will be curious? You cant possibly be planning mixed race children and not expect the occasional question?

I actually think its quite important to raise and discuss as, like a poster above, I believe he was in some way prevented from going through puberty so that his voice would still earn money not break.

Oh and I saw an interview where he said in his family a blanket is a form of comfort, it is what you would give to someone you love. They call him blanket because thats what he is, the final peice to their family, their comfort and love personified.

In fairness, there are a fuck of a lot worse things those kids are going to read about their father if they go Googling....

unless they have no access to pcs tbh I think they must already know about it

I'm aware that I joined the conversation, thanks :/

and I didn't suggest that the op said he didn't care for his children.

I just think that discussing the parentage or not of children is in poor taste.

How would you feel if someone questioned the parentage of your children in a public forum? How would you feel if your children saw it?

Maybe you'd think it was okay. I personally wouldn't. And I don't think this is okay either.

Don't like my opinion? Tough. This is a public forum.

Their own mother has discussed it on TV....for money.

Oh well if she has discussed it that makes it okay ... Logical!

These kids have lost their dad at an early age, will be aware of the controversies that surround him. But what the heck, that just makes them fair game.

The media have a lot to answer for.

I can't understand why people are offended that someone is pointing out what most of the world knows about MJ not appearing to be the father of the children and saying how wonderful a father he was yadda yadda and yet failing to mention that they are sticking up for a man who was tried for being a kiddie fiddler x number of times and paid off families millions in damages and hush money during cases against him.

Talk about priorities. Cause in the world of celebrity adoration it appears being a molester is OK so long as someone liked your tunes. Wrong.

I'm not sticking up for Michael Jackson. I'm sticking up for his children. Very very different.
