As the mother of interracial children, she won't stay silent.
Kim Kardashian took to her website today to voice her outrage at the recent killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, and the reality star has some valid points.
"This week we watched Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, two innocent black men, get senselessly murdered by police officers. Like a lot of you guys, I watched the videos, and was appalled and completely heartbroken. I was left speechless, angry and numb," she began.
Kimmy K shares two children with Kanye West, and she doesn't want them to grow up living in fear of police brutality.
"I want my children to grow up knowing that their lives matter. I do not ever want to have to teach my son to be scared of the police, or tell him that he has to watch his back because the people we are told to trust — the people who ‘protect and serve’ — may not be protecting and serving him because of the color of his skin," she continued.
The E! starlet ended her essay with an urging for peace and change.
"The last thing we need is to fuel anger with more hate or violence, especially toward the many incredible police officers who risk their lives every single day to protect our families and communities. We must peacefully use the power of our voices and the strength of our numbers to demand changes in the judicial system so that brutality doesn't ever go unpunished. It is our responsibility as Americans and as parents to create a safe future for our children. We must do something NOW. We must speak up until we are heard and real, effective changes are made," she concluded.
We're actually surprised that Yeezy hasn't been more vocal on this issue, considering he has a strong opinion on pretty much everything!
