Sammy Sosa (baseballer) has vitiligo? Media talking crap about him already!

Anyone watching Leno?

He just made a joke after showing Sosa's before & after photos that was something the effect of:
"Sosa's family is defending him though...yep...LaToya Sosa, Jermaine Sosa, Janet Sosa...."

:no:
Just sad.

Living with someone like that must be extremely difficult. I find it hard enough even acting civil towards people who say such ignorant stuff. I feel badly for you. :(

Yeah, he's Jamaican and he grew up with Michael's music! He has all of it! When I'm in my room and I hear "Earth Song" coming from his iHome it make. me. wanna. scream. He thinks he bleached his skin, wanted to be white and touched little boys!!! He shouldn't get to enjoy what Mike worked hard on and dedicated his life to. That's just not fair. =(

Ugh, ugh, ugh, I have to come here to vent! I was just sitting in my room and my roommates were sitting in the living room talking and I heard one say "So, Sammy Sosa's white now" and the other laughed and said "Well, he's not exactly white. His skin is way lighter but that doesn't make him white." At this point, I knew it was coming....so, I tried to plug my ears to shield myself and after a few seconds I went to put some music on and I just didn't get to it fast enough because that's when I heard "No, Michael Jackson wanted to be white. He got a white nose and..." That's when I plugged my ears again and tried to sing to myself in my head, fumbling to get my earphones in before I had a friggin' heart attack...It REALLY gets to me when people (especially people I live with) talk ish about him. I normally try to defend him, but I live with this dude and I've tried - Dead end. I get way too worked up, so I know better now. I was blasting "I Can't Help It" like from my earphones into my brain =P Of course, that made me sadder. =( Why why why do people choose to be blinded?! Ugggggh.


Sorry.

Your roomate does it because it bothers YOU (I have ran into people like that in the past YEt if anything about Michael comes on, these same idoits are the first to be in front of the tv). Pay it no mind. People are going to be mean no matter who you are. Even our GOd who is PERFECT is picked on by idoits.

He doesn't have vitiligo apparently. I'm trying to reserve judgement because his skin is his skin and he can do what he wants... but the selfish part of me thinks that it's really not helping Mike's case. Sigh.

the guy has no vitiligo. He is bleaching his skin unlike MJ who had the disease. Sosa has the audacity to say he is not "pulling MJ" when he is the one bleching and putting on a green contact.
 
Is it bad that I'm angry at Sammy Sosa as he's turned this whole thing into a 'hey, lets bash MJ' angle from the media?

Well said.

Also, what did Jimmy Kimmel say about him on the day of his death?? That's awful.

Don't know. I didn't bother to memorize it, but whatever he said was really tacky and low. I don't generally watch his show, but somebody had it on. Jimmy's show is broadcast live unlike others like Leno & Letterman which are prerecorded, so he knew about Mike.

I don't know what Sammy is going through, but it does look like Vitiligo.

What's terrible is I was just watching "Extra" (don't ask me why), and the narrator, talking about Sosa, said "No, he's not pulling a Michael Jackson, he's just undergoing a skin rejuvenation treatment"

"Pulling a Michael Jackson"??
The man had a disease!!

When will people do some effing research?

It's amazing that after all these years, and all that's happened in the last few months, nothing in the media has changed when it comes to MJ.

Upsetting.

I agree with you there! :angry:

it makes me sick!

this line pretty much sums up the media.

"The plastic suit also bothers me, just because it does"

I mean what the @$%! is wrong with people like that! :mat:

Excatly!
 
if a man envies MJ, at least say so. it's the most backward form of envy in history. and it's insulting. and you cause pain to MJ and his children in the process...his memory..his children..

this man looks happy in those pics...MJ looked sad in his pics. this man has no regard for MJ's pain.

one thing about MJ...people envy him so much, they even envy the things that caused MJ pain. and don't have regard for the many that have the disorder, the pain. the media is still envious, and people who cannot get past the exterior, skin, race and other never ending sadnesses, are still envious. and not just one race is envious, either. those, who are not the enlightened MJ fans, have trapped MJ in their envy, from all sides. the media is most irresponsible as they are supposed to be in the most responsible position.

the media is full of arrogance and they make me sick....they are full of just pure Ignorance..Why do they think it ok to practically make fun of an unfortunate condition....that is ok they will all meet their maker someday and they will have to answer for what they do.
 
Isn't this the same jackass who was caught "corking" his bats? Yeah...so I don't expect much from someone who cheats (and in essence lies) and who CLEARLY lies and is trying to throw in Michael's name to divert attention from what he's really doing. I do not trust dishonest people. And he is one. He can do whatever he wants to himself, I don't care, but when you try and drag someone else's name who's situation was COMPLETELY different from yours just so you can try and save face...well then we have a BIG problem.

I have yet to hear ANYONE say crap about Michael's skin or why his skin tone lightened, but if I do hear someone say he "bleached himself" I just plan on saying, "Oh really? That's interesting because his autopsy report said he had a skin disorder that caused him to loose the pigmentation in his skin. Don't believe me? Go and google it moron." Or something like that.

I haven't heard anyone talk crap about Michael since his passing except like two weeks ago someone cracked a joke about Michael and boy scouts...yeah...I set him straight. And he actually admitted that it was immature. So it all worked out and I have yet to hear him talk smack since. So education is the key to ignorance.

Sammy Sosa aka Mr. Lying Cheating Jackass needs to be bitch slapped and educated on a few things.


And hearing that Jay Leno did that...Wow...Leno is just a classless unfunny uneducated and highly ignorant man who'll try to make anything work if it'll help his sinking ship of a show last a complete season. His show wont last...not at the rate it's going and he's just showing how pathetic he is.

He and Sammy can both kiss my ass and they can kiss Michael's ass because he has/had more talent in his pinky finger than they have in their entire body...

Wait a second guys...
Do we know for sure what is happening to Sammy Sosa? I mean, if you know confirmed proof that he is purposely lightening his skin then please post a source here.

Otherwise you're doing exactly what the public and the media did to Michael for years: you're bashing him and judging him without knowing the facts first, and I don't think that's right...

From reading the interview that was posted a couple pages back, it sounds very vague.
He puts cream on to keep his skin smooth, and goes out into the sun, plus the camera flash = lighter skin? He never says he wanted to lighten his skin, but that it was an unintended side effect, sounds like.

I mean, I'm not saying I necessarily believe him, but I am not going to judge him until I know exactly what's going on.

Please, guys, don't be so harsh unless you can back up for a fact what you're accusing someone of. :no:

And to be fair, Sosa isn't the one who dragged MJ's name into all this -- the media was. They practically leapt at the chance to talk about his skin color again.

Actually, my roommate had no idea I was home and listening to him talking from my room and he has no idea how much of a fan I am. The only times I've talked about MJ around him were a couple times right after he passed when stuff was all over the t.v. and he happened to make some comment that I tried to get him to justify. He's not a hater, per se, he just believes he "changed" and had "real issues." He's one of those that feels some sort of unwarranted betrayal. Like "Man, I grew up on MJ, with my mom and brother and cousin and aunt, had every album, moonwalked on the kitchen floor in my socks, he was one of us, man. It's just a shame." ...yeah,...that type of thing. :rolleyes2:
 
It's funny that by what these people are defining as "pulling a Michael Jackson," Sammy Sosa actually did pull a Michael Jackson, and now he's being high and mighty about how he's not doing what MJ did, when he actually IS doing what he THINKS MJ did, and Michael Jackson himself never did it.

Major lulz.
 
Saying Sammy Sosa bleached his skin makes us no better than the media who printed all those lies about Michael bleaching his skin. What I hate about all this is that the media are using SS to mock MJ again and that is what angers me. You even had SS saying 'No I didn't pull a Michael Jackson.' What was the need for that? Why drag MJ's name through the mud. Just say what happened and hope they believe you.
 
Yes, I'm a puppet of the evil media because I believe that Sammy Sosa bleaches his skin simply because he stated that he bleaches his skin out of his own mouth. I guess I should look for harder evidence before I judge.

I'm being sarcastic, by the way. Leave me alone.
 
Hate to break it to you, but... =/

Sammy Sosa Breaks the Silence on Skin Bleaching
Nov. 13, 2009
Rob Kuznia -- HispanicBusiness.com

Retired Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa broke his silence this week on the widespread speculation over photos depicting what appears to be his lighter-complected face, assuring Univision he does not have a skin disease, but admitting that he does use a bleaching cream to "soften his skin."

The media firestorm was sparked by his appearance two weeks ago at a gala honoring singer/songwriter Juan Gabriel as the Latin Grammy Awards' 2009 Person of the Year.

In a photo Sosa took with his wife, Sonia, the color of Sosa's normally dark skin had an unusual pallor, prompting many to speculate that he is whitening his skin, a la the late Michael Jackson.

In an intertview Tuesday on the Univision program "Primer Impacto," Sosa, 41, told reporter Tony Dandrades that he does not suffer from vitiligo, which plagued Jackson.

"I'm doing well, doing well, thanks to God," he said in the Spanish interview.

Sosa went on to say that he does use a product on his skin, though he declined to name it.

"It's a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some," he said. "When I was playing for Chicago all those years, I was in the sun a lot for 1 o'clock games."

He added that the flashes from the cameras in the photo shoot also made his skin look lighter.

"I'm surprised with the controversy this has caused."

there is no cosmetic science that will lighten your skin that much... only mother nature is that cruel.

Wasn't Michael himself using Benoquin to elimintate his remaining dark blotches and give himself a more uniform tone? I believe Benoquin was also one of the catalogued prescription medications that was revealed during the trial.
 
yes he was using creams for the remaining spots but those creams don't make you whiter/lighter than you already are when you have vitiligo
when you lose pigment your skin turns porcelain white - some people still have this misconception that vitiligo is something that turns the skin lighter gradually not all at once

the creams did make his spots lighter but they didn't completely disappear you can see his skin clearly in TDCAU pictures
 
ts in the autopsy report!

But it also said something about a skin disorder or disease. I know I wasn't misreading it/misheard what was being reported.

I know I'm not making this up.

Anyway, Sammy is an idiot and proved himself as being as much. So there you go.
