I've heard claims that Jackson had a skin disease which results in some patches being lighter than the rest. I guess lightening what remains is easier than darkening those patches, maybe. I've met people with this condition, so it seems plausible.
So a white women pretends to be black to further her career in a country so rampant with white privilege. So the benefits of black privilege outweighed her inherent white privilege? Imagine that? I would love for one of the liberal white privilege SJW’s to explain this.
