Pop icon Janet Jackson recently made comments echoing disinformation that Vice President Kamala Harris is not Black, despite having Indian heritage. Jackson mentioned she heard that Harris’ father was white, and seemed surprised to learn that Harris is both Black and Indian. These remarks come as Jackson promotes her upcoming tour in Europe and a residency in Las Vegas. The vice president’s campaign has not responded to Jackson’s comments.
Former President Donald Trump previously made comments suggesting Harris “turned Black” for political gain, which Harris dismissed as divisive and disrespectful. Harris’s mother is from India and her father is Black. During the interview, Jackson also expressed pessimism about the presidential election, calling it “mayhem.” She also touched on the topic of child sex trafficking while discussing her album “Rhythm Nation.”
Jackson, who comes from a family with a troubled past, is working to strengthen her legacy through her music career. Despite facing controversies in the past, she has achieved significant success in the music industry. Overall, Janet Jackson’s recent comments on Vice President Kamala Harris reflect the prevalence of disinformation in society and the ongoing challenges faced by public figures in navigating political and social issues.
