Okay, full disclosure. I have no idea who this woman is. I assume she's an actress, or something similar.
But does she not realize that white parents have the exact same conversations with our kids? Talk about a race-centric view of reality

Tina Knowles-Lawson recently opened up about the stereotypes that impact her family— particularly her teenage grandson.
The famous mom of two spoke to Insider last week about the "painful conversation" she regularly has with her eldest grandchild, Solange's 17-year-old son Daniel Smith Jr.
"It hurts me to my heart that I have to constantly say to him — teach him how to act, so to speak, just in certain situations — 'If you encounter the police, then do not make certain moves if you are in a car. Don't talk back. Make it home,'" she told Insider. "That's a painful conversation to have with my grandson."
"I don't want him to even be thinking about that," she continued. "He should just be thinking about being a teenager, but as a Black grandmother, I have to have that conversation all the time."
Knowles-Lawson explained that Black boys and men are perceived as "dangerous" by many people, including police officers, which is the focus of her new show "Profiled: The Black Man."

My dad had this conversation with his four sons.
It just seems like young black men and/or boys don't listen.

It's not without reason, I also perceive white methhead looking mfers as potentially dangerous. And when I see a black man on the golf course or at a meeting in a suit or eating with his family in a restaurant I do not perceive him as potentially dangerous, this is getting absurd.

Stats show that he has more to fear of being killed by other blacks then by police.

It amuses me that a conversation about respecting law enforcement is seen now as taboo

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

I’ve had this exact discussion with my kids so many times they laugh about it.
This is not race specific.

So don't make aggressive moves towards a cop, don't talk back to a cop....???
Mind blowing shite there. How tragic to have to teach your children to have some semblance of basic respect for cops.

I wouldn’t consider it responsible parenting to not tell your kids or grandkids this advice.

It hurts to teach common sense, common courtesy and respect for the law?

Both her teets and eyes are too far apart. Dismissed

1) you shouldn’t have to tell your teenage son not to talk back to an adult. You should’ve taught them that, taught them “yes sir/no sir”, and to have manners from the time they were toddlers
2) my parents didn’t need to have any kind of talk with me on what to do with the police cause I knew how to talk to an adult
3) my parents did have to talk to me on where I shouldn’t drive and what places to avoid for my safety. I’ve said it before….who’s in more danger, the black guy hanging around university club or the white guy hanging around north BR?

Can’t have a father son conversation if you don’t have a father around.
That said, my parents gave me the same, “don’t act like a jackass around cops” speech among a hundred other dinner time lessons on how not to be a piece of shite in a civilized society.

If that’s who she is, Beyoncé’s mom, I’d be embarrassed to admit that I knew that
