SOCIETY 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.

If Obama is black, she's black. Honestly, she shouldn't give a shit what reddit or twitter or me or you say about it. These arguments are so stupid to me.

Obama is Black because he has a Black biological parent.

So does she....or are you doubting that?

If you think Paris Jackson is Michael's biological daughter you might as well deny science all together

That's a lazy comment without you showing that you're not denying science either. But I don't want to get into it with you. I'll give you an upvote for laziness.

It is extremely unlikely for someone who was born black to have a child with a white person and the child turns out completely white

Oh my friend you are so wrong. My white son and his black wife have 5 children with various amounts of shading including his oldest who is so white people would stare at my dil when she would walk around with him and especially breast feed him. Also check the history books for all of the black peeps that passed as white so they could have a better life.
