Pop icon Janet Jackson recently made remarks suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris is not Black, despite her Indian heritage and Black father. Jackson’s comments were made during an interview with The Guardian, where she also expressed pessimism about the upcoming presidential election and highlighted the issue of child sex trafficking. In response to criticism from former President Donald Trump, who accused Harris of “turning Black” for political gain, Harris emphasized the need for unity rather than division. Jackson, who has faced struggles in her personal life, is currently promoting a European tour and a residency in Las Vegas. Despite a legacy overshadowed by her brother Michael Jackson and controversies like the infamous Super Bowl halftime show incident with Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson has achieved significant success in her music career with multiple No. 1 hits, Grammy Awards, and an Academy Award nomination. In light of these recent comments, Jackson’s legacy may face further scrutiny and backlash.
