HOLLYWOOD, USA: During a recent interview, Janet Jackson spoke about her ongoing Together Again tour and shared her thoughts on the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election. When the possibility of America electing its first Black female president was mentioned, Jackson hesitated and commented on the racial identity of the candidate, Kamala Harris.
Jackson questioned Harris’ identity, stating, “She’s not Black, that’s what I heard, that she’s Indian,” referencing rumors that Harris’ father, Donald J. Harris, is of Jamaican heritage. Jackson expressed uncertainty about whether America is ready for a woman of color as president, suggesting it could lead to societal upheaval.
Her remarks follow previous comments by Donald Trump, who also questioned Harris’ racial identity, pointing to her Indian background. This ongoing scrutiny of Harris’ heritage continues to spark debates around race, identity, and politics in the U.S.
