Magic Johnson Still Talks to His Adult Children About Interacting with Police Officers
NBA legend Magic Johnson got real in a recent interview, saying that he still has conversations with his two adult sons about interacting with police in America.
While speaking with CNN, Magic said that he’s had “the talk” to keep his sons safe.
“Let’s look at George Floyd. He did everything he was supposed to do, and this police officer put all his body weight, all his body weight on his neck, right, for eight minutes,” he said. “So if that can happen to George Floyd, it can happen to E.J. and Andre [his sons] and more black men.”
“There’s been a lot of George Floyds in our community that hasn’t been reported or seen, and people who live in Black America know that,” he continued. “Only reason now that we’re acting like this is because we’re fed up. We’re tired of it. We can’t take it anymore.”
Keep talking, Magic!
