A lot happened over Kamala Harris’ ethnicity since Janet Jackson said she is not black. After this statements, an apology came from one of her spokespersons but then the pop star claimed she has no connection with that apology. The spokesperson who drafted the apology said he was fired by Janet and her brother over disagreement on the issue of Kamala Harris’ racial identity.So the fact is, Janet Jackson said Kamala Harris is not black and did not apologize for it.
Janey told the Guardian that she heard Kamala Harris was Indian and her father was white. “That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white,” Jackson said echoing Donald Trump’s ‘Kamala Harris Indian or black’ doubt which became a major flashpoint between the GOP and the Dems recently.
Kamala Harris’s father Donald J Harris is from Jamaica and her mother Shyamala Gopalan was from India. She claimed to be both black and Indian in her mixed race identity. Speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention in Chicago, Donald Trump said he was not aware that Kamala Harris is black and that she was turning into black ahead of the election.
After Jackson repeated what MAGA veterans have been claiming for long, an apology statement came from her representative Mo Elmasri.
“She recognizes that her statements regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity were based on misinformation. Janet respects Harris’ dual heritage as both Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused. She values the diversity Harris represents and understands the importance of celebrating that in today’s society. Janet remains committed to promoting unity and understanding.”
Jackson said Elmasri does not represent her and the apology statement has no connection with Elmasri. Elmasri told the Daily Beast that he was fired due to disagreements over this particular issue. He said he was flooded with phone calls after Jackson denied the apology statement but he maintained “all support to Kamala Harris”.
