Honestly, if Paris Jackson is guilty of anything, it is dating a white man who, at one point, thought it was acceptable to tattoo a likeness of the Confederate flag on his forearm while dating a woman who identifies as black. Questions about the criteria for racial identification are always complicated.
Since the history of passing in America usually involves a black person presenting himself or herself as white in order to survive a racially hostile environment or tap into the benefits of whiteness, white people opting to pass as black comes as a shock to black Americans. Their thinking is that the social scales are tipped in favor of white culture. Thus, why would anyone willingly choose to be black?
Race is messy and replete with contradictions. However, if Michael Jackson told his daughter she is black and counseled her to take pride in her roots, and if he told us that his kids are the natural seeds of his loins, then we must take him at his word, at least until firm evidence of outside parentage comes to light. If or when it does, it still would be bad taste to draw parallels between Paris Jackson and Rachel Dolezal.

Maybe her REAL father was part black. And ELOHIYM said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for appointed feasts, and for days, and years:. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
African genes are strong and if you don't look black Even if you have a black and white parent She dresses like a white goth girl and she's dating a white man that she met in "rehab". She's white and she knows it. Let's not forget when this little white girl turned the world against her Aunt Janet who was trying to discipline her fast azz.
She's white and she has white privilege along with old dumb azz Michael Jackson's money. My thing is this She said she is black because her father told her she was and he has never lied. Well, my mother told me I was the most beautiful girl in the world but when I got older and looked in the mirror I knew she lied I'm not too sure about that.
When she was a baby everyone she knew was black, her aunts and uncles are black, grandma and grandpa is black. Everything she has seen and heard as she has grown has come from blacks so I'm not so sure about not knowing the culture. Even the food she ate was from black culture so she may know more about being black than we like to think. There are some places in Africa parts of Somalia where the natives are much fairer. If Paris wants to know her lineage, maybe she will have it done and then we can call check our opinions at the door.
I'm not made at her for her belief because its what her father told her. The manner in which Wendy responded makes her look at the idiot. She herself over the looks and acts a lot less ethnic than she did in the 90s, whats her excuse.
MJ had Vitiligo and tried to lighten the rest of his skin to match it, which as we all saw, cannot be done. Bring up a picture of old mj please.. Racial himself.. I don't know this child's DNThe only issue I have with my beautiful black race is we still do not understand that you can have one black parent and one white or another race may not "look" black. They may look like Paris or Nicole Richie. I have family members with, brown hair , red hair , freckles , green eyes , blonde hair, black hair, every shade of skin color , we are a rainbow!!!!
Not looking black does not make you white! See I was with you until you said "dumb azz",Michael J. Wasn't her boyfriend rocking a confederate flag or had a confederate flag tattoo?
Everybody want to be black but don't nobody want to be black! Paul mooney taught me that! Wendy needs to stop. Except she literally is not black. She is a caucasian female. Why the Jacksons keep lying to that girl is beyond me. I agree with you. I'm biracial but look black I just happened to take after my mom. My best friend who is also biracial black and white looks more white with the exception of her hair texture.
He adopted her from the mom. How do you know that its a lie? Just because of how she looks? Both his parents are black. Even if you don't believe that MJ was her father, what's to say that her "father" wasn't black. It's the same with Hispanics. My dad is a darker Puerto Rican and my mom is lighter but a lil darker than me and I'm pastey like something out of a Tim Burton movie exaggeration lol but we're diff shades and ppl who don't know me think I'm white until I speak Spanish then they're like oohhh All im saying is..
MJ chose not to be Black and did not have those White children around his Black family members, trust and believe. None of the untalented Jacksons are ever going to meet Janet's child either. He could have used make up to smooth out his complexion. What was the reason for creating a nose that comes off your face and a booty crack in the middle of your chin?
No he didn't. After he passed, the truth came out that the parents forced the kids to lie on Michael for money. But are they is my point? Are we basing it on looks or on facts? Is it rumors? We definitely know who one parent is but we don't know who her dad is. It may not be Michael but it may be a black man who knows? I am saying there are black people in my family and other black people like Sophia Richie who look white.
Mariah Carey's dad is black and she doesn't look black at all to me. If my Aunt Irene didn't rock a blonde short Afro she would be a blue eyed older version of Paris. Her dad was black and our great grandfather was black. I posted yesterday he was very dark skinned and took us everywhere with us. All his kids, grandkids, and greatgrankids were every color of the rainbow, and most were way lighter than him. Some of us could be confused as either white, Spanish, German, Indian, something other than black yet everyone of us identified as black.
I feel for her , only her Mom , Michael, the ones maybe the lawyers and possibly the real dad knows or knew. I'm not sure the Jacksons know. I think her mom just carried the babies period. I don't think she is faking though she identifies as black. If aunt Sandy wants to be a Straight White Woman and Wendell wants to be a woman whats wrong with her wanting to be Black I don't care.
No wonder we are so easily divided. My skin is just a shade darker than Paris's. I'm a proud black woman. My father served in the military for 27 years and he is definitely black.
My mom is black too her skin is Paris's complexion and she has green eyes and red hair like my grandmother who also has a black father and husband.
Her husband is my grandfather who not light skinned at all. Neither was her father and mother who are my great grandparents. My grandmothers other sisters was light and one has blonde hair. All of us are black even though the melanin in our skin may not be dark enough for you to want to quantify or qualify us for the black race. My grandfather was a veteran and both fought for civil rights. My grandmother fought for civil rights , as well pushed for women's rights too. So you don't believe Paris is black is one thing but you sound like you have an issue with skin color.
My children are all beautiful cocoa brown complexion children. I am so grateful I was raised to love the skin I was in. When that recessive gene or dominant gene pops up and we have a beautiful baby of any complexion we will let them know they are black, beautiful and loved.
By the way speaking of real melanated is not a real word. Its a made up word that can only be found up in the urban dictionary. We are not melanated, we have melanin in our skin so do Egyptians, Indians,Saudi Arabians , Italians and many other races not just real blacks. Only one child's parents were alleged to have blackmailed MJ.
His prior behavior opened the door for these attempts. They found child porn in his home so I am sure he diddled little White boys when he had a chance.
I am sure he paid some of these parents in order to molest their child as well. I mean that check was so meticulous, so methodical, so in-depth, so comprehensive I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in the room while she was watching him check her I know she needs to a group to identify with, but if we "actual" black people allow this, its opening up a door that you don't want opened. She's not black and we are not going to pretend she is just because her father said so.
That's like placating someone delusional at a psych facility, telling them their dream world they are living in is real.
Nope, sorry, no Rachael Dolezal nonsense please. We need to live in reality. I agree with you, he needed help. Now these kids are confused and ridiculed. How easy would it have been to tell them they were adopted and loved instead of all these ridiculous lies! See, that's the road we are headed down if except this foolishness.
Paris baby, you are loved but you are not a black woman, sorry. Paris is VERY pretty. Her mom has a pretty face, but that's all I can say.
And I do believe Klein is the father, because she has both of their features. Michael didn't know if he was black or white after he had all that surgery. He came on as a black man, but his white skin turned me off. I couldn't look at Michael after all that surgery.
Such a sad man. Someone needs to sit them down and tell them the truth. Maybe Katherine will do it before she dies. Had to go and find this when Roland read Wendy her edges curl because she tried to be looked at anything but black. You are clearly confused and your long drawn out explanations are not going to change the fact that Black people see this young lady as a blonde hair, blue eye white woman.
There is no proof but Michaels word that she is his child. Blacks should stop claiming whites who want to claim black. No other race would do the same. I am saying we don't know her DNA! All of you and them are dumb as hell when you keep thinking that a blue eyed blonde born from a blue eyed blonde is automatically white.
Tired of being nice about it. If you have a black parent you can look white. We do not know who BOTH her parents are. We have no DNA proof. We are all basically looking at her as a blue eyed blonde and she isn't blonde naturally number one and two she is fair skinned. But let her be Honey, that girl is white all day long. And she needs to recognize that. She also needs to recognize that her father has obviously told her a number of lies because he certainly wasn't celebrating his own blackness after multiple, screwed up nose jobs and obvious skin bleaching.
The Jacksons are one of the most fukked up families on the planet. And who does this girl thinks she's fooling? Not only does she not consider herself black, but I don't even think she knows what black is. She's certainly not learning it from that assortment of weirdos she calls family. And somebody should tell her that no black woman would be running around with that trailer trash cracker who sports a confederate flag tattoo.
Paris, sit your confused and lying ass down somewhere. I agree I'm biracial and people always assume I'm Hispanic. But I have biracial friends some of whom look more "black" and some who look more "white". We're all different. He actually had Vitiligo said it well before he got any lighter and did not deliberately bleached. Well documented in his autospy, most definitely during Murray's trial.
But it turned you off, no wonder this orange phuck of a president is excused for his ignorance. Maybe you know not 1 person or seen some brown individual with the condition nor the options they have once more than half of their skin has become discolored. Self esteem takes a incredible blow. Look I don't know what she is but as black people we should know in we come in all different flavors and yes some of us are biracial but actually look white. Is she claiming or just saying we don't know and to think just cause it looks white doesn't make it white and black folks should know that by now in Wendy didnt tell no lie!
There is not damn thing black about paris. Please "sucks teeth" but another note, I wonder if shes met Janets baby yet? You can't reason with certain types of special.
