Kim Kardashian Talks Racism and Discrimination

Kim Kardashian is taking a stand against the hate.

In a new post on her blog, the star writes about racism, discrimination and her passion in making the world a better place for her daughter, North West.

"I never knew how much being a mom would change me. It's amazing how one little person and the love I have for her has brought new meaning to every moment. What once seemed so important, now feels insignificant," she writes. "It's like I get to see the world for the first time again, but through someone else’s eyes. It’s a beautiful thing to feel and experience so much more, but with that beauty comes a flip side – seeing through my daughter’s eyes the side of life that isn’t always so pretty."

Explaining that she has recently been a victim of racism and discrimination, the 33-year-old continues:

To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else’s battle. But recently, I’ve read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realize that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been.

I feel a responsibility as a mother, a public figure, a human being, to do what I can to make sure that not only my child, but all children, don’t have to grow up in a world where they are judged by the color of their skin, or their gender, or their sexual orientation. I want my daughter growing up in a world where love for one another is the most important thing.

In January, Kardashian was verbally attacked by an 18-year-old outside a medical building. According to eyewitnesses, the teen had called her a "n****r lover" and "stupid slut" after the starlet had called him out on using racial and gay slurs. Kardashian's fiance, Kanye West, allegedly punched the teen after their war of words had gotten out of hand.

Kardashian continues in her open letter, "The first step I’m taking is to stop pretending like this isn’t my issue or my problem, because it is, it’s everyone’s… because the California teenager who was harassed and killed by his classmates for being gay, the teenage blogger in Pakistan who was shot on her school bus for speaking out in favor of women’s rights, the boy in Florida who was wrongly accused of committing a crime and ultimately killed because of the color of his skin, they are all someone’s son and someone’s daughter and it is our responsibility to give them a voice and speak out for those who can’t and hopefully in the process, ensure that hate is something our children never have to see."
