In the wake of the brutal killing George Floyd, Kourtney Kardashian attempted to share what was supposed to be a
reflective post about racism — but it did not go as planned.

Like millions of people, Kourtney has been watching the international Black Lives Matter protests that have been taking place since May 25, 2020, which is the day Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The 46-year-old black man died after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while he was already handcuffed face down in the street and begged for his life.

Millions of protesters have been demanding the end of police brutality and systemic racism.

The 41-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star penned a post where she revealed that she has been talking to her children about racism and other race-related matters.

The reality TV star confessed: “As a mother, there is a natural instinct to protect my children from anything that might make them feel sad or unsafe. The pain and suffering inflicted by racism is not a thing of the past, and I bare the responsibility to speak with my kids honestly and often about it, even when the truth is uncomfortable. I have to make sure they understand what it means to have white privilege and to take the time to learn and discuss Black History, beyond just one short month out of the year.”

She concluded by: “I encourage other mothers to join me in using this as a learning lesson for our children, to allow our children to feel comfortable enough to come to talk to us about anything. Allow conversation without judgment and learn from our children too. We don’t know it all. My children sometimes ask questions that I may not know the answers to, so we explore them together. I’ve felt like I’ve always been on the right side of this, but I have a lot to learn and want to educate myself even more, so that I can be a better mother, a better auntie to my nieces and nephews, a better friend, and a better person. For the rest of my note on Things, I Teach My Children, go to poosh.com. 🙏🏼”

A fan praised Kim Kardashian’s sister by saying: “The only Kardashian we acknowledge.this is why Kourtney is the best Kardashian period.”

Others bashed her for being a bad mother and for using her post on racism to advertise her site.

A critic slammed her: “While advertising her website. Kourtney trust me; we’ve been talking to our children since in the womb!”

Another commenter claimed: “This is an Ad! Girl goodnight. Let Kim be the revolutionary one.”

This follower stated: “Her kids are out here, smacking their babysitters. Mason reveals everything about their family situations on IG. I don’t wanna hear it, Kourt.”
