Kim Kardashian writes an 'essay' on racism
"On My Mind
May 7, 2014 / 35 Comments
I never knew how much being a mom would change me. It’s amazing how one little person and the love I have for her has brought new meaning to every moment. What once seemed so important, now feels insignificant. It’s like I get to see the world for the first time again, but through someone else’s eyes. It’s a beautiful thing to feel and experience so much more, but with that beauty comes a flip side – seeing through my daughter’s eyes the side of life that isn’t always so pretty.
To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else’s battle. But recently, I’ve read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realize that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been.
I feel a responsibility as a mother, a public figure, a human being, to do what I can to make sure that not only my child, but all children, don’t have to grow up in a world where they are judged by the color of their skin, or their gender, or their sexual orientation. I want my daughter growing up in a world where love for one another is the most important thing.
So the first step I’m taking is to stop pretending like this isn’t my issue or my problem, because it is, it’s everyone’s… because the California teenager who was harassed and killed by his classmates for being gay, the teenage blogger in Pakistan who was shot on her school bus for speaking out in favor of women’s rights, the boy in Florida who was wrongly accused of committing a crime and ultimately killed because of the color of his skin, they are all someone’s son and someone’s daughter and it is our responsibility to give them a voice and speak out for those who can’t and hopefully in the process, ensure that hate is something our children never have to see.

OK, so if you're gonna stop pretending that racism isn't a problem, can you also stop pretending that you're talented?

Written by the mom who became famous by opening her legs for the world...... I'm sure that's the legacy North is really going to want to learn about.

And If Kanye is "SO passionate" about the subject, why does he use the N word like its candy at a kids party?
Double standard much?

Because he's black so it's ok for him to say it but no white person better dare say it. 
I think it good of her to put something like this out there for her fans to hopefully be influenced by. Whether it was from the heart or not it couldn't hurt.

Shes dated black men her whole life, why does she have an opinion now? Must be JayZ & Kaynes influence, she is very easily influenced.

Exactly!
She may actually feel this way but this is just another PR grab written by someone she paid.

Oh geez S TFU.. She's is so sad. I feel like ever since she's been with Kanye all of sudden she realized she is a minority. I can't take this crap seriously.
Kanye is only passionate about hearing himself speak.

Re: Kim Kardashian writes an 'essay' on racism
Oh how funny that she mentions that she is worried about her daughter being discriminated against and specifically mentions women's rights but she's the poster woman for using sex and the female body to make money and further her career and doesn't Kayne have some not so nice things to say about women in some of his songs? I agree with her in that we live in such a crappy world where we still have to worry about these things BUT if you are going to preach, why don't you start practicing what you preach? Actions speak louder than words and if she is truely disgusted by these things then she should use her fame and money to start trying to make a difference as well as making some changes in her own life.

I just think the title "Kim Kardashian writes an essay" is ridiculous and funny enough on it's own.
