Janet Jackson Apologizes for Misinformation on Kamala Harris's Racial Identity
Sep 22, 2024, 07:44 AM
Janet Jackson has issued an apology after making controversial comments about Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity in an interview with The Guardian. Jackson claimed she had heard that Harris was not Black and that her father was white, statements that align with right-wing conspiracy theories. These comments were quickly debunked, as Kamala Harris's father, Donald Harris, is a Black man from Jamaica. Jackson's manager clarified that her remarks were based on misinformation, and Jackson expressed respect for Harris's accomplishments as a Black and Indian woman. The singer acknowledged the importance of accurate representation in public discourse and apologized for any confusion caused.
