Judge Joe Brown actually met Kamala's father and Joe said her father told him that he's half Irish, half Hindu and Kamala's mother is full Hindu which means Kamala does not have one black gene in her body. If she'll lie about her race for votes then nothing else she says can be trusted.
Reecie is wrong in my opinion Harris shouldn’t have to go around telling everyone she is black. Even if she did they would find something else to criticize her for.
Agreed. Reecie even says that she's cooled a bit since 2020 on the fight. VP Harris has addressed this issue before, I can't believe Reecie blames her for Janet Jackson's decision to spread a lie.
Because she's lying. The photo she says is her grandmother in her book can't be, because her grandmother's death certificate is dated 1960. Kamala was born in 1964. It matters when someone is willing to LIE about something of this nature, I have to ask what else are you comfortably capable of lying about as Commander in Chief?
The issue is we all have identities and those identities matter in the world. She speaks with a full throat about her South Indian race and mentions Jamaican roots. If her race is black and South Indian, then say that. Using nationality isn’t the same as race. Be clear. Otherwise it’s a grift.
Kamala Harris has used Blackness in order to get elected but doesn't want to have policies for Black people but everybody else. She plays like she's connected to Black culture doing stupid insulting things to Black people when she's 100% culturally Indian She did this to herself.
Judge Joe Brown actually met Kamala's father and Joe said her father told him that he's half Irish, half Hindu and Kamala's mother is full Hindu which means Kamala does not have one black gene in her body. If she'll lie about her race for votes then nothing else she says can be trusted...that's why it matters.
Stop reinforcing the insanity of the different standards the candidates are being held to. By giving this oxygen you're inadvertently furthering the Republican agenda.
@@BlackWomenViews It seemed like you were in physical pain when you mildly criticized Ms. Jackson. Super fan. I get it. But it seemed easier for you to thoroughly express how VP needs to speak up and convince people that she's a black woman.
Oh my gosh, we as a people need to stop this! Janet was willfully ignorance and she spewed the GOP talking points of her brother instead of doing her own research.
Oh no Reecie, why are you all giving Janet so much grace? She may just be a RFK supporter. Stop infantilising this grown woman. Give her the same treatment the other celebrity Trump supporters get.
Nope 🙂↔️! Totally, unequivocally disagree with Reecie’s point of view. VP Harris shouldn’t have to continuously explain her race & nationality to everyone each time she sits down for an interview or give a speech. We are getting distracted with foolishness, stay focus. Either you’re voting for democracy & your rights ( Harris) or facism, racism & chaos (Trump). VP Harris is the clear choice, vote 💙 up and down the ticket. As for Janet, I can’t begin to understand how anyone is not aware of the current political environment. Well one thing for sure, she will never start a response with, “I was told” during an interview again. Unbelievable! 🤦🏾♀️
VP Harris has been an DA, AG, Senator of California and VP in America! Janet lives in California and does not know who Kamala Harris is! If that is the case then Janet should have not said anything pertaining to VP Harris. To me that's a very high level of ignorance! I also don't support rappers or any black, brown or white individuals that support trump and white Nationalists! Janet, Snoop , Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi, Kanye, Kodak Black and all the others should not get any support from the black community! I'm done with the Jacksoni because their ignorance concerning issues that affects the majority of black people continues to show! So people are saying that VP Harris has to continue too talk about or just wear a T-shirt that says she is black!! That would look weird and uncomfortable to me!
@@BlackWomenViews I don’t doubt your credentials, it’s your point of view that I disagree with. From my point of view, there seems to be an expectation for VP Harris to continuously talk about her “Blackness” whether in interviews or speeches. At this crucial moment & time, our focal point shouldn’t be geared towards her “Blackness”, but at her policies and what we need to do to ensure 45 is not elected again.
I don't think Janet Jackson cares to give any apology...what will happen!? Not as if you can cancel Janet Jackson....if she survived the Superbowl incident, I don't think this moves her one bit.

I am disappointed in Reecie’s response. Janet Jackson deserves to get the same smoke as Donald Trump. Michael Jackson was always conflicted about his racial identity. He internalized lots of anti Blackness. Their father Joe Jackson was very anti Black and transferred it on to his children.
I am not voting for VP Harris because she Black I am voting for because she the best for our country. Reese she should not to defend her Blackness. We are voting for leaders not a tace And I am a 62 yr old Black man who has faced his share of racism.
@@BlackWomenViews I don’t know you either, but you carry yourself like you are smart.

Oh it works but yours don't if you believe a Irish, White Jamaican and Asian father alone with a Asian mother can produce a black baby. Do your own research and stop being ignorant about the facts. Wake up!!

That weak on Reese part. Pure bullshit she would attack anyone else for saying this same thing but because it's Janet she comes weak. Normally I am with her she is making all kinds of excuses
Reecie has been trending this way (cool on the Dem ticket) all year. It's sad to witness. You even hear her mention in this piece that 2020 Reecie was the real soldier😢
People are really out of touch. If we can’t understand that she is black then we are all not black. We come in so many different colors and we all are mixed. If you don’t think the slave master was not in the slave quarters you are mistaken.
Reesie you punked out on Janet. Miss jackson deliberately spread thst misinformation, even after the reporter pointed out the facts. Janet was being nasty and rude and deliberately wrong.
@@BlackWomenViewsyou standing 10 toes down still doesn’t erase your obvious bias and chicken shittery when it comes to this topic. She’s parroting an idea started by Trump and you in here like “Well, he basically got a point.”
Let's be very clear! Although I'm a long-time fan of Janet Jackson, i have to say. Due to the political climate of 2024, her comments were not only disrespectful but also ignorant and irresponsible to make as an older woman approaching her 60. She seems very out of touch with what's happening in the black community.
Yes Obama made his identity clear, but he is not a woman. And I think it's smart not to promote her race or gender. It's the world we live in that would damage her campaign and the focus would shift in opposition. They would play it against her if race and gender stays highlighted. I prefer that the Michelle and Barack does the bidding for her where she doesn't have to.
Please stop trying to make up excuses for Janet and call a spade a spade. Kamala shouldn't have to go around saying she's black. Look at her and see what you see.
Clay, you are usually strong. But you treated your friend, Reecie, with kid gloves on this ish. I hope you told her offline that the VP should not even attempt to beg people to believe that she is a Black Woman.
Right? Janet said in the same interview Randy is the reason there hasn't been any new music and now after THIS, who knows when? I also hate she's apparently scrapped Black Diamond altogether. Smh.
To put ANY of the blame on Kamala is a strawman at best! What comes out of Janet Jackson's mouth is Janet Jackson's responsibility and this DELAY to retract anything speaks volumes as well! The Jacksons have always hated their Blackness and run away from it at every chance. The only one who needs to DECLARE their Blackness IS JANET JACKSON!
Now you’re pushing misinformation because Janet has never run from her blackness. It is all throughout the visuals in her videos and her lyrics as well as her humanitarian work. Kamala’s father is a piece of work because what kind of parent stay quiet while his child is being attacked
Janet should😢 remain in her lane. Her husband was not black. Her child is a mixed race. She must be careful of the words she speak. The Vice President should not have to continue to say I am black. I am a black female . I refuse to continually say I am black. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, PLEASE DON'T CONTINUALLY SPEAK ON YOUR RACE. There are individuals of color with mixed race family. You should be supportive and speak to the asinine ignorance what ever race woman in this conversation. There are many mixed race individuals that don't wish to wear a race identify badge on their chest daily.
Reesie really………..the black community has supported the Jackson family for decades. For them not to give a dammmm about us I want my money back for all the cassettes and CDs I bought
Don't project your embarrassment on me because yall have poor listening comprehension skills and because y'all are so focused on Janet that everything I said flew over your head. That's not a me issue 🤷🏾♀️
Janet is over 50 years old she should be more knowledgeable. Michael’s kids aren’t black but people embraced them because they love Michael. Janet needs to come correct. So what about Kamala’s race, give VP Harris a chance. We see what Trump has done, (January 6th, Project 2025, the Central Park (Exonerated 5). Check yourself Janet and your facts.
This shows you how ignorant people are. Her mother is from southern India which means she more than likely has African ancestry. The Indian culture was established by Africans from north east Africa who were known as Dravidians. The people of India know this and have acknowledged their African ancestry.
Janet Jackson just wanted to be talked about in the news. She gave a horrible concert in Darien Lake,New York . She has no relevance. No one is talking about her brother Tito Jackson, instead of bashing VP Harris, speak on her brother Tito Jackson's legacy. Plus she knows what she is doing , SMH.
Yes and Janet has a biracial child that she chose the Dad. Yet the audacity of her but she has a right to vote for or not vote for who she wants to. But with that said she shouldn't spread lies about another black Indian lady.
Janet's interview was supposed to be about her career but the Indian interviewer asked her about Kamala Harris and when Janet quickly responded she continued to push Kamala because she wanted Janet to endorse her candidacy.
Due respect, this “is she black” debate is totally asinine. Voters are not moved by this one way or another. Economy, abortion, immigration, infrastructure, climate, guns, education, regulation, crime, law enforcement, interest rates, gas prices, sales taxes, childcare, stock market, school safety … we have more important things to focus on.
Man... I listen to Clay every day and I have enjoyed the energy Reecie brings. It's going tp be hard to ride with her and any of her opinions, because this seems very biased! Today I lost a lot of respect for her. Anyone else I think her energy would've been completely different. Very disappointing answer Reecie. You completely deflected on how the VP addresses the issue and not the stupid sh%$ Janet said.
I'm biracial black and white. Having your race constantly questioned is part of the package. When you claim your Blackness other ppl will tell you you're not black enough, OR then if you say you're mixed race oh then you're denying your Blackness. Make it make sense!
Janet is aware of what she said and how she said it...I love Janet, have been a Jackson family fan all my life... But for Me -- Rhythm Nation and MAGA, cannot exist in the same space!!
Janet Jackson, do the right thing and end this misinformation. Vote Harris Walz 2024 up and down the blue Wave in numbers too big to ignore.🗳️🗳️💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💙💙🗳️🗳️
Reecie’s immaturity got the best of herself…once again. This topic is so straight forward. Janet was out of pocket and IGNORANT! I enjoy Reecie, but this one shows her growth area. Call it as it is, Reecie. What’s with the tip toeing?
Clay you don’t understand how much this story hurt my heart! I find it so hard to believe that after 8 years (at least) of Kamala being in our public eye Janet was not aware she is black. I agree it is very much a case of misinformation but it’s just wows me that she hadn’t a clue. Like what do you and the dancers talk about on tour? I have to believe it’s Randy in her ear. The only way for Janet to get out of this is to, as suggested, speak out in her own words and apologize.
damn idk if yall read comments.. im probably waisting my time... but thats an awful strategy you suggested. she should not adress obviously wrong rumors.. and whatyour not realizing. is people dont care if shes black!!!!!!!!!! ... not commenting... and treating it like a stupid claim is the right response. people know shes black.. thats what you have to really understand. it is an attack, not a misundertanding. there is nothing to "clear up".. janet jackson was attacking her, not saying what she believed.. she said "what i heard" to give her deniablity .. trump used the same tactic. this hurts butyou have to realize...... being a black "white supremecist" is trendy right now.. idk how else to say it. this social media cult normalized it. and it wasnt checked .... if she denies it she is lying.. and it becomes a big thing... of her lying.. and they win.. because she is on the defensive.. thier entire game plan is to put people on the defensive.. it keeps them from being on the defensive
You're not wasting your time with this comment. Agreed 💯. I've noticed that somethings been off with Reecie this entire year, so not too surprised with this take, unfortunately 😢
@I.P.Freely2-yz1je Wrong. She was DA and just stated that most children can recall some details and that is usually persuasive to a jury. Exactly what was wrong with that comment? Explain how that is "talking down"?
@@bria1660 I personally has never seen any Black Woman in my Family with a 🔴 on their forehead ever. This is a non issue and she could’ve approached it as a Indian Woman of color. She ran in Cali as an Asian and google Kamala Harris gives Asians Billions.
I am a fan of @Reecie--although I was blocked during her beehive session when I asked about Kamala's relationship with her father! @Reecie you are wrong for protecting your musical icon--i get it however the issue is the dissemination of mis information and the lack of political knowledge from "our" celebrities--folks like Ice Cube have the funds to hire someone to keep they're brand educated--Like Malcolm X said --show us where a reporter will ask a white comedian or singer about politics!
So let me guess the people who question if VP Harris is Black will suddenly say she's Black if she comes out and says it again...miss me with the foolishness
Janet heard that story from her brother. Besides, are we going back to pinning our ‘freedom papers’ to our clothes? Next time, fact check/Google it b4 posting
There is no misinformation she's not black explain how a Irish, White Jamaican and Asian father with an Asian mother produce a black baby?? What Kamala doesn't want black people to know is that her ancestors own slaves and had big plantation in Jamaica 🇯🇲 Do your own research why you think she's hiding her father because he's going to tell the truth. Wake Up!!!
This, whole notion of not "leaning in" is just wrong & unfair. It's like blaming the victim, so to speak. Kamala has addressed her heritage & race in a book, as well as throughout her career. Not to mention her whole video on her family & background during her convention speech. She obviously is not "leaning in" to the distraction tactic it obviously is. Kamala has a very limited time to address the real important issues, since becoming the nominee. She obviously has decided not to waste energy on this or to give it oxygen. All that would do is open the door to more BS & detract from what's important. All I see here is an attempt to make excuses for JJ & put the blame on Kamala by both the host & guest. Of all people, JJ & her family should know better. Major disappointment all around.
Can you please get a life? This is nothing more than a superficial distraction. Why isn't the question, what difference does it make she's more qualified than Bush and Trump put together times 10.
Thanks Clay for articulating the subject matter so well. Now, on the other hand your guess revealed herself as tepid and flimsy. Her input was lukewarm at best. Her being a Janet Jackson fan provided for a very weak position to not stand for Black Women?

Reecie has some growing up to do. Sounds like a high school kid... "DECLARE YOU ARE BLACK" & it will solve all your problems 😂😂😂😂
Now, Reecie...
💯👆🏿
Oh, Reecie I usually rock with not today.
Stop. Just stop. Kamala doesn't need to say anything.
Reesie you punked out on Janet. Miss jackson deliberately spread thst misinformation, even after the reporter pointed out the facts. Janet was being nasty and rude and deliberately wrong.
Never punked out a day in my life . I stand on everything I say even when y'all don't like it. 🤷🏾♀️
@@BlackWomenViewsyeah you stand on something even when it’s dead ass wrong. I’m really bummed by your takes. Rhythm Nation was 35 years ago
@@BlackWomenViewsyou standing 10 toes down still doesn’t erase your obvious bias and chicken shittery when it comes to this topic. She’s parroting an idea started by Trump and you in here like “Well, he basically got a point.”
I’m very disappointed in Janet. That would be like us spewing all the misinformation we hear about the Jackson’s. Just saying. 🙄.
So true.
Right! And all you'll have to preface the lie with is "I've been told..."
But people have spewed misinformation about the Jacksons
Let's be very clear! Although I'm a long-time fan of Janet Jackson, i have to say. Due to the political climate of 2024, her comments were not only disrespectful but also ignorant and irresponsible to make as an older woman approaching her 60. She seems very out of touch with what's happening in the black community.
Yup. This is the same woman who opened her 2024 Essencefest performance by saying to the crowd: “...we’re gonna climax together”. 🤦🏽♂️
@@gabrielmcdonnell8699 that was in poor taste
Yes Obama made his identity clear, but he is not a woman. And I think it's smart not to promote her race or gender. It's the world we live in that would damage her campaign and the focus would shift in opposition. They would play it against her if race and gender stays highlighted. I prefer that the Michelle and Barack does the bidding for her where she doesn't have to.
Word 💯 It's sad to see a soldier like Reecie pretend otherwise.
Please stop trying to make up excuses for Janet and call a spade a spade. Kamala shouldn't have to go around saying she's black. Look at her and see what you see.
No Reecie, I'm so disappointed, damn girl.
Clay, you are usually strong. But you treated your friend, Reecie, with kid gloves on this ish. I hope you told her offline that the VP should not even attempt to beg people to believe that she is a Black Woman.
As soon as VP Kamala comes out and does what Reecie thinks she outta do, people will criticize her for calling herself black. It's ridiculous.
This 👆🏿🙌🏿
Right because she’s not black. She is black and Indian
Clearly her brother is not a good manager. 😊
She really needs to fire him 🤯 out of all the men in the family. Randy reminds me of his Daddy 🤔 the most
Right? Janet said in the same interview Randy is the reason there hasn't been any new music and now after THIS, who knows when? I also hate she's apparently scrapped Black Diamond altogether. Smh.
He’s a maga
She doesn’t need to apologize, she has already been cancelled. Bye Janet!
She ain't cancelled in the old-school black community!!!✊🏾 And Pro J5's for life!! That's their sister..us 70's teenagers riding with her
To put ANY of the blame on Kamala is a strawman at best! What comes out of Janet Jackson's mouth is Janet Jackson's responsibility and this DELAY to retract anything speaks volumes as well! The Jacksons have always hated their Blackness and run away from it at every chance. The only one who needs to DECLARE their Blackness IS JANET JACKSON!
Right. Janet say something wrong and fueled by lies but it’s KAMALA who needs to fix things and make a statement??
👏🏾
Now you’re pushing misinformation because Janet has never run from her blackness. It is all throughout the visuals in her videos and her lyrics as well as her humanitarian work. Kamala’s father is a piece of work because what kind of parent stay quiet while his child is being attacked
No, lady. VP does not have to verbally convince people about her racial identity. Her actions speak for itself. Harris for President...period!
Janet should😢 remain in her lane. Her husband was not black. Her child is a mixed race. She must be careful of the words she speak. The Vice President should not have to continue to say I am black. I am a black female . I refuse to continually say I am black. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, PLEASE DON'T CONTINUALLY SPEAK ON YOUR RACE. There are individuals of color with mixed race family. You should be supportive and speak to the asinine ignorance what ever race woman in this conversation. There are many mixed race individuals that don't wish to wear a race identify badge on their chest daily.
Reesie really………..the black community has supported the Jackson family for decades. For them not to give a dammmm about us I want my money back for all the cassettes and CDs I bought
Reecie!!!!! Really!!!!! I love Janet too, but she gotta hold this one..... You have to keep that same energy.... I'm embarrassed for you😂
Don't project your embarrassment on me because yall have poor listening comprehension skills and because y'all are so focused on Janet that everything I said flew over your head. That's not a me issue 🤷🏾♀️
Oh we heard...
Janet is over 50 years old she should be more knowledgeable. Michael’s kids aren’t black but people embraced them because they love Michael. Janet needs to come correct. So what about Kamala’s race, give VP Harris a chance. We see what Trump has done, (January 6th, Project 2025, the Central Park (Exonerated 5). Check yourself Janet and your facts.
Her own child is biracial and multicultural 🙄
This shows you how ignorant people are. Her mother is from southern India which means she more than likely has African ancestry. The Indian culture was established by Africans from north east Africa who were known as Dravidians. The people of India know this and have acknowledged their African ancestry.
Just disagree that she has not mentioned her blackness
She made it clear
Miss Jackson is wrong
No excuses
There's an old saying that goes " talk what you know and not what you think"
I love this saying
Stop flipping it back on Kamala. Janet was wrong. You know it! And you've lost a fan and viewer. Now you sound phony!
Sad, Reecie. Big time letdown. Big time.
Rhythm Nation was 35 years ago my lady.
Janet Jackson just wanted to be talked about in the news. She gave a horrible concert in Darien Lake,New York . She has no relevance. No one is talking about her brother Tito Jackson, instead of bashing VP Harris, speak on her brother Tito Jackson's legacy. Plus she knows what she is doing , SMH.
Yes and Janet has a biracial child that she chose the Dad. Yet the audacity of her but she has a right to vote for or not vote for who she wants to. But with that said she shouldn't spread lies about another black Indian lady.
Kamala is NOT BLACK. Stop it
Janet's interview was supposed to be about her career but the Indian interviewer asked her about Kamala Harris and when Janet quickly responded she continued to push Kamala because she wanted Janet to endorse her candidacy.
Due respect, this “is she black” debate is totally asinine. Voters are not moved by this one way or another. Economy, abortion, immigration, infrastructure, climate, guns, education, regulation, crime, law enforcement, interest rates, gas prices, sales taxes, childcare, stock market, school safety … we have more important things to focus on.
Right. If Trump was, say, Pakistani, he’d be just as popular.
Man... I listen to Clay every day and I have enjoyed the energy Reecie brings. It's going tp be hard to ride with her and any of her opinions, because this seems very biased! Today I lost a lot of respect for her. Anyone else I think her energy would've been completely different. Very disappointing answer Reecie. You completely deflected on how the VP addresses the issue and not the stupid sh%$ Janet said.
That chick defending Janet sound crazy
"Next question" - Kamala Harris
🤣 I see what you did there!!
I’m VERY disappointed in Janet. Didn’t she have relationships with biracial and non-black men? And, THAT wasn’t a problem for her? 🤔
Her own child is biracial. She needs to quit. I love me some Damita Jo but she’s way off on this.
Her money and fame removed her from the reality that most of us live in.
She was in a relationship with Jermaine Dupree, he is the only black man that I know of.
And she carved up her face and lightened her skin trying to be white!🙄
I was just thinking the same thing
what a sad commentary from Reecie.
I'm biracial black and white. Having your race constantly questioned is part of the package. When you claim your Blackness other ppl will tell you you're not black enough, OR then if you say you're mixed race oh then you're denying your Blackness. Make it make sense!
Or if you only claim black, you get called out for not embracing your other ethnicity. It was simultaneously annoying and amusing.
Right! I'm not mixed, but have seen exactly what you describe done to people of mixed heritage. A total catch 22. Both Clay and Reecie know this.
I will never attend Janet Jackson’s concerts because of her malicious gossip!
Janet is aware of what she said and how she said it...I love Janet, have been a Jackson family fan all my life... But for Me -- Rhythm Nation and MAGA, cannot exist in the same space!!
Reecie tripping. Anybody can be checked.
Janet Jackson, do the right thing and end this misinformation. Vote Harris Walz 2024 up and down the blue Wave in numbers too big to ignore.🗳️🗳️💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💙💙🗳️🗳️
It was insidious. She is pishing this for her benefit. It is NOT misinformation, she is working for the other side
Disappointed in Janet. She sounds like a clown. Janet is dead wrong.
Reecie’s immaturity got the best of herself…once again. This topic is so straight forward. Janet was out of pocket and IGNORANT! I enjoy Reecie, but this one shows her growth area. Call it as it is, Reecie. What’s with the tip toeing?
Janet Jackson should have kept her silly mouth shut. Girl pleeze. "She was told?"
Clay you don’t understand how much this story hurt my heart! I find it so hard to believe that after 8 years (at least) of Kamala being in our public eye Janet was not aware she is black.
I agree it is very much a case of misinformation but it’s just wows me that she hadn’t a clue. Like what do you and the dancers talk about on tour?
I have to believe it’s Randy in her ear. The only way for Janet to get out of this is to, as suggested, speak out in her own words and apologize.
I ain’t gon lie, when I see Janet’s entourage I’m always like “oh, I thought there’d be more black people.” I think that can be part of the problem.
damn idk if yall read comments.. im probably waisting my time... but thats an awful strategy you suggested. she should not adress obviously wrong rumors.. and whatyour not realizing. is people dont care if shes black!!!!!!!!!! ... not commenting... and treating it like a stupid claim is the right response. people know shes black.. thats what you have to really understand. it is an attack, not a misundertanding. there is nothing to "clear up".. janet jackson was attacking her, not saying what she believed.. she said "what i heard" to give her deniablity .. trump used the same tactic. this hurts butyou have to realize...... being a black "white supremecist" is trendy right now.. idk how else to say it. this social media cult normalized it. and it wasnt checked .... if she denies it she is lying.. and it becomes a big thing... of her lying.. and they win.. because she is on the defensive.. thier entire game plan is to put people on the defensive.. it keeps them from being on the defensive
You're not wasting your time with this comment. Agreed 💯. I've noticed that somethings been off with Reecie this entire year, so not too surprised with this take, unfortunately 😢
Janet is totally wrong, so let's spread the disinformation about that whole Jackson clan
Kamala spoke down on Michael during his trial.
@I.P.Freely2-yz1je Wrong. She was DA and just stated that most children can recall some details and that is usually persuasive to a jury. Exactly what was wrong with that comment? Explain how that is "talking down"?
@@bria1660 I "heard" she was talking down on him. Like you "heard" Janet was talking down on kamala. Thanks for taking the bait.
@@bria1660 I personally has never seen any Black Woman in my Family with a 🔴 on their forehead ever. This is a non issue and she could’ve approached it as a Indian Woman of color. She ran in Cali as an Asian and google Kamala Harris gives Asians Billions.
Janet tripped. PERIOD.
I’m done with Janet🤬
Me too, I can’t believe I went to see her perform two months ago.
I think Janet wanted attention. Don’t give her ANY!
I’m so disappointed with JJ.
It’s also disappointing when people making excuses for her.
Kamala should not have talked down Michael during his trial. This was personal.
I am a fan of @Reecie--although I was blocked during her beehive session when I asked about Kamala's relationship with her father! @Reecie you are wrong for protecting your musical icon--i get it however the issue is the dissemination of mis information and the lack of political knowledge from "our" celebrities--folks like Ice Cube have the funds to hire someone to keep they're brand educated--Like Malcolm X said --show us where a reporter will ask a white comedian or singer about politics!
I wonder if Janet is a Trumpy Kool Aid follower!?
So let me guess the people who question if VP Harris is Black will suddenly say she's Black if she comes out and says it again...miss me with the foolishness
Janet heard that story from her brother. Besides, are we going back to pinning our ‘freedom papers’ to our clothes? Next time, fact check/Google it b4 posting
Im still shocked Janet said this but with all the misinformation going on i should not be shocked
There is no misinformation she's not black explain how a Irish, White Jamaican and Asian father with an Asian mother produce a black baby?? What Kamala doesn't want black people to know is that her ancestors own slaves and had big plantation in Jamaica 🇯🇲 Do your own research why you think she's hiding her father because he's going to tell the truth. Wake Up!!!
This, whole notion of not "leaning in" is just wrong & unfair.
It's like blaming the victim, so to speak.
Kamala has addressed her heritage & race in a book, as well as throughout her career.
Not to mention her whole video on her family & background during her convention speech.
She obviously is not "leaning in" to the distraction tactic it obviously is.
Kamala has a very limited time to address the real important issues, since becoming the nominee.
She obviously has decided not to waste energy on this or to give it oxygen.
All that would do is open the door to more BS & detract from what's important.
All I see here is an attempt to make excuses for JJ & put the blame on Kamala by both the host & guest.
Of all people, JJ & her family should know better.
Major disappointment all around.
How Many MORE lives does trump have to tear apart for people to see that all he is about? He wants tear everthing apart, nfl, communities, families
But Sexxy Red told them that more checks are coming if they vote for Trump...
Damn Reecie! This the first time i disagree with you
Can you please get a life? This is nothing more than a superficial distraction. Why isn't the question, what difference does it make she's more qualified than Bush and Trump put together times 10.
She doesn't have to say she is a black woman
She ain't gonna say it!! She ain't anyway!! I'm old-school black woman and I said that!!
You are WRONG Reecie!
Thanks Clay for articulating the subject matter so well. Now, on the other hand your guess revealed herself as tepid and flimsy. Her input was lukewarm at best. Her being a Janet Jackson fan provided for a very weak position to not stand for Black Women?
