For years, people have had this almost gleeful joy in pointing out there is no way Michael Jackson’s kids are biologically his. His daughter Paris Jackson especially — she has blue eyes and blonde hair, whereas Jackson was a black man.
It’s a very strange thing to obsess over. And you’re not exactly insightful for pointing out the already glaringly obvious.
Jackson had a very high-pitched voice for a grown man. He was unusual in a lot of ways. Some even argued he was a eunuch.
How do genetics come into play? Simply put, a man with the phenotype of Michael Jackson cannot father children as pale and light-eyed as Paris. It’d be a one-in-a-billion genetic miracle if that happened. Not just skintone and hair color wise, but her facial features being entirely different from Jackson’s natural facial features.
I’m inclined to disbelieve the “eunuch” rumors, however — Jackson’s youngest son, Blanket, looks quite a bit more like his famous father. Here’s Jackson’s youngest, with his grandmother Katherine Jackson who raised him after his father’s untimely demise:
Blanket looks like what Jackson’s son with a Latina woman might have looked like; African genes aren’t always going to dominate the offspring of any couple with a black father and a mother from another ethnicity. But the eye color and hair will typically still be dark, especially when the mother was of a more olive complexion.
Above all? It really isn’t any of our concern who Michael Jackson did or didn’t impregnate. Perhaps he believed himself to be sterile and had his first two children with the help of a sperm donor, only to still manage to have a third child through successful IVF? It would not surprise me if he had some sort of hormonal disorder as it would have explained his unnaturally high-pitched voice and frail health.
