Carey, 50, explained to host Andy Cohen that she reads certain chapters to Moroccan and his twin sister Monroe to illustrate her encounters with racism and to give them a “greater understanding and, ultimately, a greater reservoir with which to deal with the situation itself.”
“Because it’s hard,” Carey said before explaining, ”And by the way, like, Rocky just got bullied the other day from a white supremacist person that he thought was his friend. Carey said. “It’s like, insane. This is the world we live in.”
The superstar singer went on to detail a few of those encounters to Cohen, including an instance in which she was “traumatized” as a young girl by teachers who insisted she was using the wrong crayon color in a drawing of her father, who is Black. She also recalled the time a friend of hers “burst into tears” after meeting her father.
Although her memoir was completed before the current Black Lives Matter movement, Carey, who is biracial, said the book ended up being “so timely.”
