I’ll believe she is a daughter of Michael Jackson when I see DNA evidence of the fact.
One’s parents are one’s parents. They raised you. Genetics is not important to that fact.
PLEASE DONT PRETEND, FREEPERS, TO BE PRO LIFE if you are anti adoption. Just shut up. Unwanted babies will be born. The world will always need adoptive parents who care more about the love for the children than whether their race matches.
For whatever reason, michael didn’t use his own genetics. I don’t think highly of the guy, but he was her father. To claim he wasn’t is to claim all adoptive parents aren’t the real parents and that is dead wrong.
Hold your roll - the context was being “black” - something she is not if adopted...
Good grief, would you feel better if we are required to preface every mention of parents with biological, adoptive. IVF, natural, dominant gene or some such?
Michael Jackson was a mentally unbalanced weirdo who, although musically talented, was a pedophile. I am sorry he seems to have also damaged his children.
Nobody has said anything anti life, or anti adoption.
Well ........ I don't try to tell my daughters, adopted from China, that they're "white."
I grant that "white" doesn't quite work here, as the Chinese are as white as we are but tan differently. Perhaps I should say I don't try to tell them they're caucasian. Race isn't an issue for us, but they know they're Asian.
This case does raise an interesting point. Being "black" is worth a lot of points in our current racial sweepstakes system. Does MJ's daughter qualify as "black" if she's not black by genetics? There's money in this. If non-birth parents convey racial privileges to children of other races, I think I'll ask one of my black friends to adopt me. Then I guess my Chinese born kids could qualify as black as well. They're young enough to benefit from a lifetime of checking the preference box, and I'm sure future employers would be happy to play along if they get to hire Asians as blacks.
What a world the race-obsessed liberals have constructed. I know a young lady, now in college, whose genetic inheritance is mixed Anglo, Hispanic (Cuban Anglo), and black (from a dad who could pass for white). She looks thoroughly caucasian. She gets to go through life checking black and hispanic. She's a very bright girl and doesn't need the help as far as academics are concerned, but I imagine she gets scholarshipped up to the eyeballs.
This girl was never termed as an "adopted" daughter. The woman claimed that Jackson was her father. She is now claiming that she is "African-American". I am simply doubting the claim.
I was not commenting on calling adoptive parents "your parents". Don't know why you construed it that way. I am simply doubting that Michael Jackson was her "actual" father.
Yaelle good FRiend I’ve mentioned before that we have adopted, but what MJ did was not really adoption.
He bought a child. He specifically sought out a white outcome, for some reason. Self hatred, I posit.
