Part of the problem that people have with Kamala Harris is they just don’t trust her because she isn’t forthcoming with interviews, questions, or her plans. So many have said they don’t know where she stands, or they think she’s flip-flopping on positions to get elected. It’s not a good position for a candidate so close to the election, when he or she needs votes. And in Kamala’s case, she doesn’t help her own position when she ducks questioning.
However, one more person who appears to have some questions about Harris has really gotten the media going on Saturday.
I didn’t have writing about Janet Jackson on my bingo card today.
But right now, the media is losing their minds over something she said about Kamala Harris. in a just-released interview with The Guardian. Jackson was asked by the interviewer, Nosheen Iqbal, what she thinks about the election:
I wonder where she stands on the forthcoming election. After all, I say, America could be on the verge of voting in its first black female president, Kamala Harris.
“Well, you know what they supposedly said?” [Jackson] asks me. “She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.”
She looks at me expectantly, perhaps assuming that I have Indian heritage.
“Well, she’s both,” I offer.
“Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days,” she coughs. “I was told that they discovered her father was white.”
I’m floored at this point. It’s well known that Harris’s father is a Jamaican economist, a Stanford professor who split from her Indian mother when she was five.
Who is the majority to decide if Janet is right or wrong. She would know better than the majority. It’s whether the majority wants to listen AND watch the group eat itself.
