Paris Jackson, the sole child of the late, great pop music star Michael Jackson, said lately that she considers herself to be a black woman even though she is mixed-race.

“I take pride in my race. At the time, Jackson said to Winfrey, “I am proud of who I am.”

Paris claims to identify as black, keeping in mind her dad’s African-American ancestry.

Paris stated that she “considers [herself] black” and that “[Michael] would look me in the eyes and he’d point his finger at me and he’d be like, ‘You’re black,’” when discussing the situation with Rolling Stone magazine in 2017. Take pride in your heritage.

She talks about her lighter skin and says that many people think she’s from “Finland or something” because of her bleached blonde hair and stunning blue eyes. “Okay, he’s my dad, why would he lie to me?” she asks. I just take his word for it. Because he has never lied to me, as far as I know.
