Roland BLASTS Janet Jackson for questioning Kamala Harris' Blackness

Janet Jackson is the latest black celebrity to spread misinformation about Vice President Kamala Harris' identity.

During an interview with the Guardian published Saturday to promote the second leg of her concert tour, the youngest Jackson claimed she heard Kamala Harris was not Black and that the vice president's father was White.

I am a Janet Jackson fan, but what she did is irresponsible. She should not be spreading misinformation in an already lie- filled world.

[traceyholland]

Janet needs to stop, with all those bi-racial nieces and nephews she has, she knows that Kamala is half Black and half Indian.

Someone once stated, "We treat our entertainers like scholars and our scholars like entertainers." This was a prime example.

[geegees]

It’s damn near 2025. We’re not putting up with foolishness. No time for ignorant celebrities, especially the black ones. Let’s do better for the culture!

[lisaairington]

Just because they are entertainers, doesn’t mean they’re intellectually competent. Just saying.

[katrinagriffin]

So is her own son not black?? By her logic, her son only has her non-Black ex-husband's lineage!

[margh]

I have never considered Janet Jackson bright outside of her artistry.

[DerrickKing-du]

And don’t get it twisted, she knew exactly what she was doing and what she was saying.

[eastcoastaj]

She was married to an Arab, she has multiracial child, did she forget?

[Sderistel]

She totally drop the ball on this one! Luckily, I’m old enough to not listen to an entertainer to choose my votes, but what she did, going against another woman, regardless of her race, is inexcusable! She has a mixed child herself! Not apologizing is ignorance at it’s best!

[sshhhitsasecret]

In that case, none of the Jackson kids are black. Including hers.

[smoothkk]

I’m someone that chooses sides. It’s several “celebrities” I no longer support after finding out they are Trump supporters

talk about the pot calling the kettle bl... *_HUH???_*

Janet, you are *_FAR_* too confused about your own identity to ever talk about *_ANYONE_* else!!! Period.

[dianahhill]

Did Janet forget she had a baby from a non-black man? What race will her son take?

[beverlyhunter]

She has half white nieces and nephews...say what?!!!

[valentino]

Most of Janet's nieces/nephews are biracial & Michael faced criticism for not owning his blackness. Janet knows better.

[walkerpantera]

Mark Twain said it's better to let people THINK you're an idiot in silence instead of proving youre an idiot by speaking.

[thehoboman]

I wish the interviewer would have asked her why it matters? Meanwhile a self described sexual predator, a lifelong conman, and documented racist gets to play by a completely different set of rules and expectations. What is wrong with these black celebs?

[TheBaller]

Imagine JANET JACKSON talking about anyone's blackness as her and micheal have done all they can to appear as white as they can

[dmartin]

Who really cares what Janet Jackson thinks?
