In 1992 one of the greatest, loved, and most influential musicians and artist of all-time released a song Black or White. Michael Jackson though passed away in June of 2009 his lyrics and music has continued to pass on from generation to generation. Most of his lyrics spoke to his audience and people listened.

People thought he was bleaching his skin so he would be judged as a white man. But, Michael would say he had a skin disorder that destroys the pigments of the skin
