Michael Jackson's Kids

Redtail said:
The two youngest maybe, the pics I've seen of the oldest boy do resemble a young Micheal, (Granted that means nothing as Tito could have stepped in to help lil bro out.) but in truth I have to agree. If it were just one kid he could just be like me (father's bone structure, mom's skin.) but 3 times in a row and little to no hint of the swirl? Naaaaah.

Yeah, I wasn't 100% on how many kids he had. I have two family members who are of mixed ethnicity, and while the degree of "the swirl" (as good a name as any) differs between the two, they both definitely look like my aunt and uncle's children.

Is it possible the older son has colored his hair? Or that his hair changed as he grew older?

He was a blond as a child, as can be briefly seen in this video-

Those are two beautiful kids, then and now. Both the dark haired girl and the blond/dark haired boy- lovely.

So cute.

My mother, my son, my two sisters and I all had blonde hair when we were young children, which has darkened as we've grown older. Only one of my sisters can still be called "blonde", while the rest of us would be described as mid to dark brown.

I think the oldest boy and the youngest girl look very like a young Michael, but with (naturally) lighter skin. The noses especially, going by those photos.

With regards to custody, that site, TMZ, is reporting that the Jackson family will be fighting to get the children. Poor kids. I don't know which would be worse, Debbie Rowe or the Jacksons.
 
There is a third kid that is not Rowe's but a doner from Europe.


If I was the Rowe, I would do a DNA test in the case of these two older kids. Yes, according to one interview I heard, the special ingrediant was delievered by test tube.

a brazilain just told me of cases where one parent is black and the kids look like the white parent.
so maybe they are his kids.
 
In any case, I assume that no one will really be wanting to take a share of the debt that the estate owes. I think you'll see no long-protracted law suit out of this, just a bunch of really upset creditors fighting over royalty residuals.

One interesting case.

A very good case in point. Thank you.


So, according to hoax slayer:
  • Both parents were of mixed heritage.
  • That this would happen is very rare.
Now, to be fair, one of the things that makes this rare is the fact that we are talking about twins. One black and one white.

I think the point that is being lost is that we are talking about alleles and that each parent has multiple alleles. A child inherits his or her skin color from both parents based on multiple alleles from each parent.

You can work out the odds of Michael having two children with no discernible racial characteristics from Michael using the chart below. Even light skinned mulatto would require that Michael only possess one "dominant" gamete and I don't think that is an easy case to make given that Jackson has two black parents.

From my observation, the first surgery(s) involved narrowing the bridge, reshaping the tip and the nares.
 
I'm going with the boy having >50% chance of being his bio son. At first I thought - no way. Then I looked at the boy's right hand in the attached image. That's MJ's hand. Maybe I'm biased for that feature because my hands are nearly identical to my father's. I thought I had seen at least one picture of MJ's right hand in the exact same position, but I can't find it. This was the best comparison I could find.

I also see similarities in the facial structure, the eyes and the nose. For these, it's best to compare using MJ pre-surgery.

It would be better to find a picture of Jacko as a child and juxtapose that with face shots of his kids.
 
I tried to do that in post #33, but I think he may be a few years older than the boy. I'm sure another could be used where the age is very close.

One thing everyone seems to be forgetting is that a lot of Black Americans have White genes. Slave owners sometimes raped their female slaves. If Michael Jackson's dad had blue eyes, he likely had White genes.

I just hope that these poor kids get some semblance of a normal upbringing. However, that doesn't seem likely with all the legal wrangling and media circus that's going to be surrounding them. :(

Wow, he was actually handsome when he was younger. I had no idea.

That's what really bothers me about his descent.
There was no reason for -any- of the physical modifications he subjected himself to.
The physicians/quacks that butchered that guy are pretty close to criminals, if not overtly denying their Hippocratic oath to do no harm.
