Because he's not the father..
And none of them are black.
I'm sure this case isn't going to go cold.. And we find out this guy is his son.
But then. Again..
I went to see mj show in Vegas and the guy was AMAZING! Sounded like him and looked damn close.
Thank you.
What a mess this whole thing is. I saw on Facebook where Perez posted this story when it first broke... the Billie Jean jokes came rolling in lol...
Haha I know, but my point was that he does actually resemble MJ, not just in terms of skin color... Interesting!

Michael Jackson 'XSCAPE' Album To Be Released in May
The King of Pop lives through his music.
Michael Jackson fans can prepare their ears for new music from the late singer nearly five years after his death. The new album entitled XSCAPE will hit stores on May 13.
Epic Records, in conjunction with Jackson's estate, released a statement today detailing the project, reports the Huffington Post.
"After mining by the Estate of Jackson's archives, L.A. Reid was granted unlimited access to the treasures spanning four decades of material on which Jackson had completed his vocals. Reid then teamed up top producers to "contemporize" the songs while retaining Jackson's essence and integrity, creating the best music you've never heard," read the statement.
The L.A. Reid produced eight-track album will be available in a Deluxe Edition featuring the recordings in their original form. Fans can pre-order the standard and deluxe versions of XSCAPE beginning April 1.

Jackie Jackson: Michael Would Say 'Thumbs Up' for His Billboard Music Awards Hologram
As promised, an MJ hologram appeared at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday night, dancing around to the recently released "Slave to the Rhythm" from the singer's posthumous Xscape album.
"I've been hearing about the hologram, and people were talking about it, but to see it with my own eyes was incredible, amazing," Michael's brother, Esco "Jackie" Jackson, told PEOPLE.
"When he got up and started walking around oh, my God When he started dancing, unbelievable," Jackson continued. "It took me back. If Michael were here he would say thumbs up!"
The practice of bringing deceased or otherwise unavailable artists to the stage via hologram was popularized by Coachella 2012's Tupac Shakur hologram. Created by visual effects studio Digital Domain, it reportedly took four months to create and cost up to $400,000.

Prince Jackson Demands Post-Mortem DNA Test After Rumored Dad Dies
He wants to know once and for all if he's MJ doctor Arnold Klein's son.
Michael Jacksons notorious doctor feelgood took many secrets to his grave. And now, RadarOnline.com has learned, Prince Jackson wants to know the truth about at least one of them! Insiders tell Radar MJs son is demanding a post-mortem DNA test to find out once and for all if Dr. Arnold Klein was his biological father.
The oldest son of the late music legend has lived his entire life hounded by rumors hat his biological father is actually Jacksons doctor and close friend, Klein. Klein toked the flames of rumor for years with coy hints, before finally denying he was the dad.
However, after Dr. Klein died this past week at the age of 70, a source very close to the Jackson family told Radar exclusively, that Prince is demanding that he find out once and for all who his real flesh and blood is.
In 2009, just one month after Michaels tragic death, Dr. Klein shocked the world in an interview with Larry King by claiming, I still cant answer [the paternity question] absolutely one way or another. I once donated to the sperm bank. To the best of my knowledge I am not the father.

At the time, Dr. Kleins subtle yet poignant accusation was thought to be purely for the notoriety by fans and skeptics.
But, according to the Jackson insider, Prince did not see it that way at all. The source said his curiosity was only heightened a short while later when Dr. Klein posted side-by-side photos of himself as a teenager next to Prince. The photos looked almost identical.
Prince is demanding to have a DNA test done on Arnies body before he is buried to determine who is biological father is once and for all, said the source.
But time is of essence and the family friend tells Radar that Princes grandparents Katherine and Joe are urging against this being done.
Prince knows he is working against time and, although Michael will always be his father, he needs to know what his genetic makeup is.

Everyone in the family has always had doubts that Michael is any of their father, the source added, referring to the late singers two other children with Kleins assistant, Debbie Rowe: Paris, 17, and Blanket Jackson, 13.
On Oct. 6, prior to Dr. Kleins passing, Prince had an eerie premonition when he took to his social media to speak out on the paternity rumors.
In a message that is open for interpretation, he said, The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of my womb. I was raised by my dad with my brother and sister.

It was no secret that Michael Jackson hated his looks. He hated his skin color, his nose, his face. Even though he wanted to be a father, the last thing he wanted was to bring a child into the world that looked like him.

EXCLUSIVE: Joseph Fiennes 'as Shocked as You' to Portray Michael Jackson in New Film
Joseph Fiennes understands that some fans of Michael Jackson will have their reservations about him portraying the King of Pop in a British TV movie.
"I'm a white, middle-class guy from London," Fiennes exclusively told ET of playing the late music icon. "I'm as shocked as you may be."
The movie, Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon, will air on Sky Arts and is based on an urban legend that showed up in a May 2011Vanity Fair article. Fiennes says it's a "light tongue-and-cheek look" at a story about Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor and Jackson renting a car and taking a road trip together after they were unable to catch a flight out of New York City due to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Brian Cox takes on the role Brando and Stockard Channing will portray Taylor.
"It's kind of off the wall, but the writing is a delight, and the kind of interaction between the three of them is funny, and also full of pathos," the 45-year-old actor said of the movie. "It's people who are so iconic, but also can be detached. You know, you can get detached from society. So it's examining that kind of wonderful and mad detachment."
While Fiennes acknowledges that he might receive some criticism for playing an African American, he doesn't think his race should come into play. "[Jackson] definitely had an issue -- a pigmentation issue -- and that's something I do believe," the Shakespeare in Love star explained. "He was probably closer to my color than his original color."
He added in defense of the movie, "It's a light comedy look. It's not in any way malicious. It's actually endearing."
Fiennes was a "huge fan" of Jackson when he was a kid, and says he now has a new appreciation for the music legend. "The more I actually looked at Michael," he gushed, "The more I kind of fell in love with him."
ET has reached out to members of the Jackson family for comment on the upcoming TV movie. Meanwhile, Fiennes is busy promoting his upcoming film, Risen, which hits theaters Feb. 19.
