a 1990s interview with Oprah. His skin turned white as a result of this. First of all
Paris talked about her childhood and how her father constantly pushed her and her siblings to be proud of their background. She thought about all the claims that have been made suggesting that Michael Jackson is not her biological father. These rumors haven’t been shown to be accurate.
They haven’t, however, shown to be untrue either.
Paris says her father always brought up their African-American heritage to both her and her brother.
“You’re black,” he would say, pointing a finger at me as he looked directly into my eyes. Take pride in your heritage,” she said. “And I would think, ‘Well, this is my dad. Why would he tell me a lie?’” I just take his word for it. Because he has never lied to me, as far as I know.”
The Internet’s Reaction
The internet exploded with a variety of responses as Paris Jackson’s interview received a lot of attention. She received praise from some for recognizing and fully embracing her black identity. They both decided that even though she looks white, she is technically mixed if Michael Jackson is her biological father. In addition, a number of people came forward with tales of friends or relatives who had children from mixed-race couples, and the child turned out to be white and blond just like the white parent, showing no signs of having darker skin or hair at all.
