Pop icon Janet Jackson recently fueled misinformation surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity during an interview with The Guardian. Jackson echoed a false claim, first propagated by former President Donald Trump, that Harris is not Black.
Those values were at odds with the messages presented by then-president Donald Trump, whose own values appear to have grown even further from those tenets during his current campaign to retake the White House. It appears that Jackson’s values might also have shifted, at least when it comes to her list of non-negotiables.
” “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black,” Trump falsely continued regarding the vice-president, who has never concealed her identity as the daughter of Donald J. Harris, her Black, Jamaican American father, and mother Shyamala Gopalan, who came to the U.S. from India in 1958. “So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump continued from the NABJ stage in July.
