Janet Jackson Sparks Controversy Over Kamala Harris's Racial Identity in Guardian Interview, Unauthorized Apology Issued
Sep 22, 2024, 05:30 PM
Janet Jackson has sparked controversy by questioning Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity in a recent interview with The Guardian. Jackson claimed she was told that Harris is not Black, but Indian, and that Harris's father is white. These statements have been widely debunked, as Kamala Harris's father, Donald Harris, is a Black man from Jamaica. Following the backlash, a person claiming to be Jackson's manager issued an apology, stating that Jackson's comments were based on misinformation and that she deeply respects Harris's accomplishments as a Black and Indian woman. However, Jackson's representatives later clarified that the apology was unauthorized and that the individual who issued it has no connection to her.
