Media personality Kourtney Kardashian, who is a mother of three, posted a photo with her boy through her Instagram page on June 5 and called on parents to have conversations with their kids about race, privilege, and injustice.
One of the stars of the show ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ Kourtney Kardashian expressed her concerns as a mother about racial inequality and white privilege and stated that it is essential to speak with her kids about that, even when the truth is cruel.
Kourtney used the following statements:
“As a mother, there is a natural instinct to protect my children from anything that might make them feel sad or unsafe. The pain and suffering inflicted by racism is not a thing of the past and I bare the responsibility to speak with my kids honestly and often about it, even when the truth is uncomfortable. I have to make sure they understand what it means to have white privilege and to take the time to learn and discuss Black History, beyond just one short month out of the year.”
The reality TV show star, continued by advising parents to educate themselves to answer their kids’ questions:
“I encourage other mothers to join me in using this as a learning lesson for our children, to allow our children to feel comfortable enough to come talk to us about anything. Allow conversation without judgement, and learn from our children too. We don’t know it all. My children sometimes ask questions that I may not know the answers to, so we explore them together. I’ve felt like I’ve always been on the right side of this, but I have a lot to learn and want to educate myself even more, so that I can be a better mother, a better auntie to my nieces and nephews, a better friend, and a better person…”
