King said the subject “really hit home” when her son started driving – and they warned him he’d probably be pulled over “just because you’re a Black man” (via toofab)
That situation, Kimmel admitted, made him feel"very ignorant" because it wasn't something he was"fully aware of" until recently."I did not know it was a rite of passage in an African American family," he said."Along with using your turn signal, you would have to instruct them on how to behave with the police."
King said one of her closest white friends had the same realization when they spoke with each other about teaching their kids to drive."It just never even dawned on her and the reality that she doesn't have to have that same conversation," said King,"it brought a lot of stuff up for her. It's good that you know."
Kimmel and King also spoke about the protests around the country, with the actress calling it"necessary" and clearly responsible for the charges levied against the three other officers involved in George Floyd's killing. "These most recent charges that just came up against the other three officers would not have happened without the protest," she said."But still, we have officers in Louisville who still have not been charged for Breonna Taylor's murder and there are so many cases like that and I'm just convinced the only way we're going to change is get out and vote and not just in the presidential elections but on the local level. That means voting every year.
Saying she's been educating herself as well about candidates and"who can actually change policy," King said the only way to change systemic problems is to change the laws -- and the only way to do that is to"change the lawmakers" responsible for them.
