Michael had every thing except white skin. He tried to change the color by bleaching it. But he still remained black to the world. Self hatred is a terrible thing. Michael would have been a happier person if he accepted himself as a great entertainer instead of fighting for the love of every racist. He should have listened to the words of his famous song and
"Beat It".
