Michael Jackson's kids

[Burt Munro]

OK, in no way is this intended to be a racist question.  It's just that after seeing Prince Michael and Paris Jackson on the Grammy's last night I was flabbergasted.  Maybe I don't pay enough attention to Pop Culture.

Let's just say this is a genetics observation on my part.  Anyway, based solely on their physical appearance on Jan 31, 2010, how likely is it that Michael Jackson is the biological father of these two children?

Flame on if you care too......  but, I know there must be other people out there who are asking the very same question as me!

Seems like I heard a story that they aren't his biologically.  Not that it makes a whole ton of difference.  I'm adopted.  My dad was my dad.  I'm sure they thought of him as dad.

[Burt Munro]

I agree with you 100% Dave.   

I had always thought that he had claimed that they were his biological children. 

That was the only basis for my comment.

Like I said, I don't stay on top of Pop Culture.

If you saw my Sons you would in no way believe that I was their Dad. Many will first refer to their Step-Dad as their biological dad-based on appearances that is.

I have a couple good friends who were adopted, so I agree 100% with Dave, in that the guy who raises them is their true "Dad".

With that said, I understand what you are saying, Burt. One of the issues, I think, is that Jackson's kids were almost always veiled when out in public....remember him making the kids wear scarves and all that?  Now that he's dead, the kids are seen more, and seen as their true selves.  I agree- they don't look even remotely like they are his biological children.  Especially when you consider what he "should" have looked like had he not bleached his skin and carved his nose off...

I always found it humorous that Michael Jackson began life as a cute little black kid, and ended up looking like an old, weathered white woman.  lol

I have a couple things in common with Bruce one of which is my birthday. The other tings I do have is probably not in Bruce's genes-French, Irish, Greek, and probably more.
