“All my family does music. I’m a Jackson. But a Jackson doing folk indie?” she said.
She also relates to her dad on race.
Michael Jackson had Vitiligo and his skin color changed. He was African-American.
He faced rumors about his looks but said his skin change was due to Vitiligo.
“I’m proud of my race,” he told Oprah Winfrey in 1993.
Paris follows her dad’s roots. She told Rolling Stone in 2017, “I consider myself black. Dad said, ‘You’re black. Be proud.’”
Some people are confused by her looks. But Paris said, “Dad wouldn’t lie. I believe him.”
When she said this, she got some flak. Wendy Williams mocked her. “She can call herself black, but it’s what cops see. Still, good for her.”
What do you think of Paris honoring her dad by saying she’s black?
