Michael Jackson suffered from a skin disease called Vitiligo. Which the
human skin color can range from almost black (due to very high concentrations of the dark brown pigment melanin) to nearly colorless (appearing pinkish white due to the http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Blood_vessels under the skin) in different http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Homo_sapiens. Skin http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Color is determined primarily by the amount and type of Melanin, the http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Pigment in the skin. Variation in skin color is largely due to genetics.
As a general pattern people with http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Ancestor from http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Tropical regions and higher altitudes (hence greater http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Ultraviolet_radiation exposure) have darker skin than people with ancestors from http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Subtropical regions. This is far from a hard and fast rule however, because many light skinned groups have managed to survive at the equator by way of social adaptation. The same can be said of dark skinned groups living at subtropical latitudes.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Special:Wysiwyg?tid=wysiwyg#cite_note-1
