Democrats and their media allies amplify the political opinions of celebrities.
They do so because they expect celebrities to toe the Democrat Party line.
But Janet Jackson made one comment about Kamala Harris that caused Democrats to lose their minds.
Janet Jackson questions Kamala Harris’ parentage
Longtime pop diva Janet Jackson stepped into it.
During an interview with The Guardian, Jackson made one comment about Kamala Harris that is verboten.
Jackson said that she thought Harris was “Indian.”
Even though Harris is half-Indian and has exclusively promoted her Indian heritage in the past, identifying Harris as Indian has become a political third rail.
That’s because Democrats want to promote her black identity.
Jackson told the interviewer, “Well, you know what they supposedly said? . . . She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.”
“Well, she’s both,” said Nosheen Iqbal, the Guardian interviewer.
Jackson said, “Her father’s white. 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.”
The reporter nearly had a conniption.
Harris’ father is Jamaican, but his specific heritage has been difficult to pin down, partly because Harris and her dad do not get along, so he has not at all been a part of her political journey.
The most anyone can find about her father’s lineage is that he is black with some admixture of Irish.
Harris routinely talks about her mother, who passed away in 2009.
However, her father, a Marxian economics professor at Stanford, rarely gets discussed.
That is why there has been confusion about his background.
Jackson’s answer set off Iqbal.
She wrote, “The people who are most vocal in questioning the facts of Harris’s identity tend to be hardcore QAnon-adjacent, Trump-loving conspiracy theorists. . .I don’t think Jackson falls into that camp, but I do wonder what the algorithms are serving her. I start again. Harris has dual heritage, I say, and, given this moment, does Jackson think America is ready for her – if we agree she’s black? Or, OK, a woman of colour?”
Iqbal got in a subtle jab at tech bros—namely Elon Musk—by talking about “the algorithms.”
Jackson responded, “I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t want to answer that because I really, truthfully, don’t know. I think either way it goes, is going to be mayhem.”
Kamala’s authenticity problem
The interview gets to the heart of a broader issue for Kamala Harris.
People view her as inauthentic.
She switches accents depending on which group she’s in front of.
She has flip-flopped all of her positions, including directly stealing policies from Donald Trump.
Polls show that she has softer-than-expected support from black male voters.
That is why the Democrats and their media allies are so protective of Harris.
They cannot sell her as the “hope” and “change” candidate if people believe that she is a fraud.
Even though Jackson’s facts were off, her confusion about Harris speaks to her emptiness as a candidate.
