Paris Jackson, the only daughter of the late pop music icon Michael Jackson, recently shared that despite being mixed race, she identifies as a black woman.<\/p>\n

Saying her father would insist she\u2019s black, \u201cbe proud of your roots,\u201d Paris honors her father\u2019s roots and legacy \u2013 both musically and physically \u2013 remarking, \u201cI consider myself black.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing her lighter skin and noting that many people \u2013 because of her dyed blonde hair and striking blue eyes \u2013 assume she\u2019s from \u201cFinland or something,\u201d she adds, \u201cAnd I\u2019d be like, \u2018okay, he\u2019s my dad, why would he lie to me?\u2019 So I just believe what he told me. [Because], to my knowledge, he\u2019s never lied to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nUnsurprisingly, when her declaration of race was published, she received some criticism. Talk show host Wendy Williams was very vocal, mocking Jackson\u2019s only daughter for identifying as a black woman: \u201cI get that she considers herself black and everything, but I\u2019m just talking about the visual because you know\u2026black is not what you call yourself, it\u2019s what the cops see you when they got steel to your neck on the turnpike.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cIt\u2019s what they see. But that\u2019s cute and good for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think of Paris Jackson honoring her dad\u2019s legacy by identifying as a black woman?<\/p>\n
