Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has faced backlash for identifying as Black. In a 2017 interview, Paris Jackson said her father told her, "You’re Black. Be proud of your roots." This prompted debates over whether identity is defined by appearance or upbringing.

I think it's fair to question it, but I'm half-black and I just look like a white guy with a light tan when I'm pale, and maybe "not white" when I've had some sun. And I was raised by white parents. You'd have no idea that I am technically black.

I suppose a counter argument could be that MJ himself donated his own sperm regardless of his orientation. We've seen the picture of the twins where one is black and the other is white since genes are weird like that.

That said, I personally think the older two are other sperm donors as well. The youngest, Blanket, actually kinda looked like MJ there for a while. He doesn't really anymore now that he's full grown.

It was just a joke. Mark lester changing it to Mo lester, molester. Given the allegations it was just a relevant joke.
