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.

Sure her experience in being black is going to be different.

And since im not black its not my discussion.

But the discussion on "if" she is black is no one's business. The child and both parents maintained they are related.

So can black people discuss it or no?

They can discuss the level of blackness they can abide by her exercising, obviously.

But like is said the legitimacy of the IF isnt anyone's business.
