    Janet Jackson MIA for the last ten years resurfacing briefly just to throw racial shade on Kamala

    America politics is basically: this rich celebrity tells me to vote for this guy, but the other rich celebrity tells me to vote for the other guy. Which celebrity do i have to listen to to be on the winning team.

    What would a Jackson know about not being black? /s

    Goddamn, why are celebrities so dumb/obsessed with saying stupid shit for attention?

      Well, she did have a brother who stopped being technically black I guess…

      Why would you assume this is to get attention?

      And why is the media/people so obsessed with what celebrities have to say about anything? Want to ask something about music, especially the kind of music she is known for? Ask Janet Jackson. For other stuff, maybe not ask and if she offers don’t report on it.

    It’s so easy to just look up a picture of harris’ dad.

    I thought the bullshit right wing argument was that she only brought up that part of her background for political points, not the even more ludicrous argument that a black man from jamaica is actually white.

    “[Harris’] father’s white,” Jackson is quoted as saying. “That’s what I was told."

    Aaaand… who told you that?

    As they say, the best argument against democracy is a 5 minute chat with an average voter. That average voter in this case being Janet.

      That seems like more an argument for why we need significantly better public education, not for why the tyranny of the minority is better than the tyranny of the majority

        You unfortunately can’t get everyone no matter how good the education system is. Especially if you live in a state like Indiana where it’s trendy to give money to private and charter schools instead of public school.

          That’s why I’m talking about Public schools that are available to everyone. Not just High School either, College should also be public and free. I would even support paying students to attend college, like in some European countries. I agree that Private Schools are terrible for many reasons, they take money away from public schools, and they are commonly used to segregate communities.

          stop. pull it back, because youre being silly. the education of a pop star is not an issue. you’re responding stupidly to stupid questions. education should be available to everyone.

          unfortunately, some think you shouldn’t learn about welding in college if you want to study advanced english literature.

          it’s just an example.

          i just went back and watched the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAwaNWGLM0c, and the cinematography and style and dance, that slays.

          the music is like your mother’s second cousin bought a $200 software for his Mac Plus. the lyrics were probably written by committee. but the visuals still hold up.

    Janet Jackson does have a huge pop legacy. I 'member 80s MTv. I don’t know much about her outside of that and the Jackson family and the “wardrobe malfunction”, which, who gives af. But she sounds not too bright in this article… yet rich anyways.

    “Well, you know what they supposedly said?" Jackson is quoted as saying during the interview in her adopted hometown of London. “She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.”

    The author wrote that she responded with a correction, telling Jackson that Harris does have Indian heritage but is also Black.

    “[Harris’] father’s white,” Jackson is quoted as saying. “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.”

    edit: here is the original article, which is long and i will read soon, but nbc may well have butchered for all i know: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/sep/21/janet-jackson-interview-on-bad-relationships-new-music-and-kamala-harris

    It doesn’t sound like Kamala is getting Janet Jackson’s endorsement. I question if she even votes.
