    Janet Jackson does have a huge pop legacy. I 'member 80s MTv. I don’t know much about her outside of that and the Jackson family and the “wardrobe malfunction”, which, who gives af. But she sounds not too bright in this article… yet rich anyways.

    “Well, you know what they supposedly said?" Jackson is quoted as saying during the interview in her adopted hometown of London. “She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.”

    The author wrote that she responded with a correction, telling Jackson that Harris does have Indian heritage but is also Black.

    “[Harris’] father’s white,” Jackson is quoted as saying. “That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

    edit: here is the original article, which is long and i will read soon, but nbc may well have butchered for all i know: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/sep/21/janet-jackson-interview-on-bad-relationships-new-music-and-kamala-harris
