Actress Kristin Davis opened up recently about her fear for the safety of her 5-year-old daughter, who is black, after Donald Trump’s 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.
“I’m 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 WNYC’s Rebecca Carroll. “I might have had the intellectual learning curve that we all hope and wish we have, but it’s different than the actual life that you’re 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. I’m fully aware. I’m 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, it’s hard. It fills me with terror.”

The airport is that way.

Get a grip, Toots.
Poor thing.
Take her to Sweden ,she’ll be safe
She had a black daughter under Trump?
Does she understand that her biggest threat is BLM, and the people on college campuses who think she is a racist, just due to the color of her white skin?
This woman isn’t living in the real world.
My daughter adopted a baby girl little Amelia when she was 2 days old. She is black and I do not worry about her under President Trump.
I do not understand why people are afraid of him I don’t get it.
Move to Paris where she can be molested by a stylish Muslim.
“I’m 100 percent aware that it literally makes no sense, but” you’re a liberal and sense is never an impediment.
The sky is falling. The sky is falling....
A lot of libs regard black as THEIR pets.
She is pretty. I’ll bet she looks even better in other photos.
Such a shame that she really thinks Trump or his supporters would ever wish her adopted daughter harm.
Translation: Mumbo Liberal Jumbo... question mark inflection at the end of a sentence..?.. Mumbo Liberal Jumbo... Racist... Mumbo Liberal Jumbo...Ready for my close-up!
She is just another racist that judged her “daughter” by the little girl’s skin color.
Liberals are so funny, scaring themselves with their own lies.
Does she not realize that it is Obama and Hillary supporters who are more likely to gun her daughter down?
