- Tyler Perry recently said that he avoids talking about 'race' with his 7-year-old son.
- Perry said, "I haven’t had the conversation with Aman because he’s only 7, and I want to hold out as long as I can."
- He continued, "I don’t want to tell him that there are people who will judge him because of the color of his skin, because right now he’s in a school with every race, and all these kids are in their purest form. When he describes his friends, he never defines them by race."
- He added, "So, the moment he loses that innocence is going to be a very, very sad day for me."
- Tyler continued, "I know it’s coming, though, because he’s already asking some really tough questions. What I want him to be, more than anything, is somebody who sees injustice, speaks out against it, and effects change."
