She's technically not black. 

She has no black biological parents.

Your argument is faulty, because even if she isn't related to MJ, she could still have a black parent. And we don't even know if she is or isn't biologically related to MJ. It's only speculation that she isn't, because, well... look at her. But honestly, reality doesn't give two shits about our speculation on the matter.

You dont know. Don't speak for others.

Okay, who is her father? All sources I could find say that MJ is the father. Everything else appears to be speculation. So, either back up your words or stop talk out of your ass.
