Actress Kristin Davis opened up recently about her fear for the safety of her 5-year-old daughter, who is black, after Donald Trumps Nov. 8 victory.
A reported spike in hate crimes since Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the presidential election has raised concerns of a continued increase in racially motivated acts of violence.
Im on the intense learning curve because I have to protect my child, the Sex and the City star said in a How I Got Over interview with WNYCs Rebecca Carroll. I might have had the intellectual learning curve that we all hope and wish we have, but its different than the actual life that youre on the line for. I have to protect my daughter at all costs.
After the election, Davis said, my initial thoughts on Wednesday morning was that I wanted to move to the woods and learn to shoot a gun.
It makes no sense. Im fully aware. Im 100 percent aware that it literally makes no sense but the fear of what is happening and how am I going to make sure that no one hurts my child, even in a subtle way, which was already a fear I had honestly, but it just became so, so heightened.
The actress, who adopted Gemma in 2011, says bringing her up has taught her plenty about white privilege.
I thought I knew before adopting my daughter that I was in white privilege, that I understood what that meant. But until you actually have a child, which is like your heart being outside you, and that heart happens to be in a brown body, and you have people who are actively working against your child, its hard. It fills me with terror.

Wow.!! this is terrible.!! We should take up a collection and get them out of the country as fast as me can..!!! /s
HuffPo has lost its influence over the poor, huddled, and STUPID masses.
Trump has done more to discredit the media than Brietbart, Assange, Wiki, Levin, Savage, and Limbaugh combined.
One more reason to be grateful on Thanksgiving Day is that the Trump Team will bring us forward into the past ~ MAGA!
I agree. The worst thing is that she will infect her daughter with irrational fears, even as years go by and nothing happens.
sports - politicized
theater - politicized
parentage - politicized
Well I dont think anyone thought one of her strengths was her sense of rationality.
They have lots of woodlands in Canada. Move!
I agree.
I’m getting a whole new view of Leftists this time around. They seem to have a drive to instill fear in their kids. I’ve never seen so many under-age children so traumatized by an election.
This actually extends into college too.
So now news is using the fake hate crimes committed by the left as evidence and meme for these stupid stories.
They will never learn anything.
Body full of stupid.
Trump works for us. We hired him. He was the best option.
Not Canada!!! She thinks that Mexicans are so great and wonderful, go to Mexico be with people. He
No one wants to work with her either, man or woman.
Re : Post #9
“she can always go back to pole dancing...”
I at one time thought that chick had something - but when I looked at the pic you posted, all I thought of was, “Call me Caitlyn.”
WT Hell??
Yet another actor/actress who thinks that they have something interesting or intelligent to say.
These types come a dime a dozen.
White privilege? How about multimillionaire privilege, which is the real truth.
I was afraid for my Constitution under Queen Putt.
I have come to the conclusion that even if they see a black thug gun down another black, they think its the nra’s fault and that must only mean white men. That is their irrational rationalization.
I agree. I don't know whether it's intentional, or if the parents are so insanely worked up that they've passed it on to their children. My children read the Wall Street Journal and listen to talk radio when it's on (Tom the Son plays Andrew Wilkow off my phone in the afternoons), but I make a point of giving the ones of reasoning age more information so they can understand that most issues don't resolve to one sentence Andrew Wilkow is screaming.
I think a lot of what we're reading about children's being frightened is a setup. Because I'm involved with the Spanish-speaking congregation in my church, I know quite a lot of immigrants, both legal and illegal, and NONE of them has mentioned the election, at all.
Maybe she could take her child to a safer country, France.... Belgium.... Turkey... or Honduras...
It never ceases to amaze me how utterly opposite of reality these snowflakes believe. Their environments must be total fabrication. Or they bubble themselves so completely in a chosen mindset grouping. I fear only a hurtful, high loss, blatantly unavoidable truth experience can awaken them. Just damn, Sam.
