celeb news Janet Jackson on Kamala Harris: "She's not black. That's what I heard"

[mchl]

He was on the airplane
Sittin' next to this guy
Said he wasn't too shy
And he seemed real nice
Until he found out he was gay
That's so not mellow

Every day i'm from a different country, have a different gender, and am a different race. 

[TheGreatestX]

It's crazy how in one article she nullified Control (Randy is in control of her music) and Rhythm Nation (no longer working to break down color lines).

You are consistently stupid though, so that's something

[Bencharmer]

As an European guy, always thought the ethnicity thing in the USA was... Wild and somehow even more problematic than the people they call problematic.

Her liking (and commenting on) Randy's 

MAGA posts from 2020 is WILD.

 

Never thought she'd be a Trumper but here we are. they say "never meet your idols, you'll be disappointed".

Conservatives that critique Liberal racism but pretend their side isn't even more blatantly racist are stupid. It's so disingenuous  

 

These talking points only work from a Leftist perspective, not by endorsing ******* Trump

?? That user has been typing like that since they joined, let's keep it cute. This isn't a show at all, it's legitimately how they always talk.

The only good thing about Janet being kind of irrelevant is that this story has already been buried and hasn't exploded the way it would've had it been 10 years ago.

Madonna did worse than going full maga? Like…okay shes an out of touch rich white woman, she has called her son the n word, her covid days were…something but she hasn't gone fully down the deep end like this.

 

That said all 3 have had some doubtful moments for sure.

Saying the n word is in fact worse than questioning the blackness of a woman who fully identified with her Indian heritage until it became politically convenient to acknowledge her Jamaican father that she didn't grow up with.

 

Are both points of view bad? Yes. But the idea that Jamaicans don't count as black isn't even that fringe of an idea, unfortunately. A LOT of ADoS don't count the Afro-Caribbean diaspora as black. Not only that, but mixed-race people also have problems being accepted by both of whichever communities they belong to begin with. Meanwhile it's not socially acceptable for white people to be using racial slurs like the n word AT ALL outside of Klan meetings.

Not Janet being MAGA because of this  

 

Meanwhile Janet during the Trump presidency, while most ATRL faves were busy singing about d (not that there's anything wrong with that, i'm just saying) :

 

 

Her entire life and career stands against everything maggots stand for. MAGA ancestors tried their hardest to cancel her 20 years ago. Be SERIOUS people

 

By the way she didn't even technically endorse the Kamala's dad is white fake news. She stated that she has heard about it. "Well you know what they supposedly said?" She asks me. "She's not black. That's what I heard. That she's Indian. That's what I was told. I mean, I haven't watched the news in a few days"

At least she wasn't as assertive as Madonna with the Obama is muslim mess Still very stupid of her to platform it, there's no denying that. Janetors can hold their fave accountable when she is being a moron. Thankfully we very rarely have to do that. Love that for us

 

I'm sure she'll say something about it and will make things right in the coming days. Her brother passed away 7 days ago and she hasn't even posted about it so I'm giving her some grace about her lack of reaction (for now).

Ok let's just stop for a second. She absolutely endorsed the fake white Dad rumor BS. When she was corrected on it, she doubled down on that. When her Pr said she didn't mean any harm, she fired him.  So she clearly believes that.

This is not what Janet did. She claimed Kamala's father was secretly white.

Quote

"Her father's white. That's what I was told. I mean, I haven't watched the news in a few days," she coughs. "I was told that they discovered her father was white."

Ok, and she's obviously not only wrong, but loud AND wrong.

 

I still think calling your own child you adopted from Africa the n word is worse.

It was Rocco she called the n-word, not David. Obviously it was not ok regardless though.

[Pavement Princess]

I'm actually dying at her former consultant issuing a well worded apology as "her manager" and then her team actually denying it and doubling down LMAO. I would've just let the fake apology do it's thing.

Just bookmark these posts for the next Morgan Wallen thread, he did the same thing she did (except the comments regarding Black people before she said that word) and this site has totally different energy for him than they do her (somehow "we" can agree he's racist but she getting essays out the ass for the same thing even tho she had a severely horrible response to being called out). They don't like to talk about it and/or give her passes. The hypocrisy and moral high ground stuff going on ITT is crazy. 

 

As for the ADoS thing, I think there's a big miscommunication happening online in those conversations. In the US Black is not just a race but also an ethnic term. I live in NYC so I've dealt with this directly of Caribbeans, Africans and Latinos saying "I'm not Black, I'm [insert country]". They're not really saying they're not "Black" (as in, of Afro-descent), They're saying "I'm not Black American". 

 

My Uncle in law is Haitian, he says "I'm Haitian". He doesn't 'stop' at saying he's Black because of where he is lol. He would say that maybe in a different country. I answer the question about my background just by saying "I'm Black". There is no further description of my background in the US. "Black culture" and "Haitian culture" or "Jamaican culture" aren't synonymous, I'm naming 3 different cultures (Black American culture, Haitian culture & Jamaican culture).

 

Didn't expect this to get 17 pages tho.

Oh Janet.

Her white ancestry is from generations ago and mainly from slave owners which every black American/Caribbean person has. We don't talk about it because why the **** would we?

 

She's half black half indian, and has never once marketed herself as being 3/4 black. She's barely mentioned race and intentionally ignores the question so she doesn't seem too "woke".

 

It's dumbasses like you and Trump who are making her race a big deal, not her. 

My mom is black Caribbean. It doesn't make me half black because my mom is mixed race herself. She has green eyes which means she must have white ancestry even if she has dark skin. I don't think it's really fair for me to go around saying "I'm black" when I'm probably roughly a quarter black. Me and Kamala Harris both benefit from white privilege, even if slightly less than fully white people.
