Michael Jackson’s eldest child is identifying as Black.

Paris Jackson’s Identity in the Spotlight

Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson’s eldest daughter, frequently makes headlines. Recently, she has drawn attention for stating that she identifies as Black, despite many referring to her as white.

Background

Paris Jackson was born in 1998 to Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson. She has carved out a career in the music industry, following in her father’s footsteps.

Complexion and Identity

Paris is known for her light complexion, similar to her father’s later years. Michael Jackson, once darker-skinned, experienced significant changes in skin color over time.

One reason for Michael’s lighter skin could be vitiligo, a condition that can lighten the skin. However, this was never officially confirmed.

Paris’s Perspective

In a 2017 Rolling Stone interview, Paris shared: “My dad would look me in the eyes and say, ‘You’re Black. Be proud of your roots.’ I trusted him because he never lied to me.”

Paris also faces stress from comments about her appearance. Some say she looks like she’s from Finland, which adds to her emotional strain. Many mixed-race individuals share her look but don’t face the same level of scrutiny.

Public Criticism

Despite identifying as Black, Paris received criticism from Wendy Williams. Williams remarked, “She identifies as Black, but visually, it’s different. It’s about how others see you, especially in difficult situations. But good for her.”
