Janet Jackson spouted misconceptions about Kamala Harris’ racial identity 
in an interview with The Guardian published on Saturday. “She’s not Black.

That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian… Her father’s white, the singer and 
dancer said, adding “I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told 
that they discovered her father was white.” Vice President Harris’ father 
is a well-known Jamaican economist while her mother is Indian. 

Disinformation about the Democratic presidential nominee’s race has been 
espoused by the likes of Donald Trump including him claiming that Harris 
“was Indian all the way, and then suddenly she made a turn and she became 
a Black person.” 

Jackson, the younger sister of Michael Jackson who is often credited for 
incorporating themes of social justice into her music, made no mention of 
the former president in the article, nor her political preferences. She 
did, however, say that regardless of who wins the 2024 election, it is 
“going to be mayhem.”
