exactally... I think the reason I never questioned him is because when I was little, I went to church with a lady who had it. My grandmother told me about it, after i asked her what happened to her. She too was an African-American, and it was quite noticable. I don't know how she is today because I haven't been to that church since a few years ago. Once I heard he had it, I accepted it because I already knew it was a real disease and it actually is pretty common. I just wish everyone else could've been open minded enough to see that, but like Jeniffer30 said. Some people wouldn't accept it just so they have something bad to say about someone they don't know. It's pretty childish to say anything bad about someone in a bad positition no matter if they know them or not. Personally, I don't think they'd accept anything that is considered normal for any "star" or "normal person." Some people just look for faults in others to make themselves feel more important or better than someone else due to their own insecurities.
