In a revealing interview, Paris Jackson, the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, openly discussed her identification as a black woman. While her father had been an iconic figure in the music industry and a global sensation, Paris has been navigating her own path, which includes embracing her racial identity. Her self-identifying as biracial and specifically saying that she is black, despite her completely white appearance, has been triggering for many.<\/p>\n

Understanding Paris Jackson\u2019s Identity Journey<\/p>\n

During the interview, Paris opened up about her experiences and how she perceives herself racially. Given her mixed heritage, she acknowledged that many people may question her choice to identify as black. As many know, her father, Michael Jackson, is of African-American heritage despite his appearance as a white man in the last few decades of his career. In an interview with Oprah in the 90\u2019s, he revealed his changed skin color was due to a condition called vitiligo. This caused his skin to change from darker to white. (1)<\/p>\n
