Michael Jackson’s only daughter Paris proud of African-American roots, identifies as black

Unsurprisingly, when her declaration of race was published, she received some criticism. Talk show host Wendy Williams was very vocal, mocking Jackson’s only daughter for identifying as a black woman: “I get that she considers herself black and everything, but I’m just talking about the visual because you know…black is not what you call yourself, it’s what the cops see you when they got steel to your neck on the turnpike.”

She adds: “It’s what they see. But that’s cute and good for her.”

What do you think of Paris Jackson honoring her dad’s legacy by identifying as a black woman?
