Khloé, 37, who shares her only child with ex Tristan Thompson explained, “I have to educate her as best as I can [while] still educating myself at the same time.” She went I on to say that she doesn’t want her living in a bubble — ’cause we do have this very privileged life, and I want her to know all types of life and all types of living, and be very aware of that,” the Good American founder explained.
Speaking more on the topic of race, Khloe noted that Khloé recognizes that “some people get uncomfortable with talking to their kids about” it “or they think, ‘Oh, we live in a bubble. We never have to address that my child is Black.’ “I mean, of course, you do!” she countered. “You’re only setting them up for failure if you don’t talk about race and the things they’re going to endure when they’re in, quote, the ‘real world.’ ”
Khloe credited her late Dad, Robert Kardashian for teaching her and her siblings about awareness, respect and race: “He was able to provide us a very good life, but he didn’t come from that, necessarily. But he always exposed us to the realities of life,” she said.
