"It's been a struggle for me since I was aware that there was such a thing as race," Mariah Carey said. "And the only reason I was aware so early on was because it became a subject of humiliation for me as a child... I'm reading chapters to them that are helping to illustrate my encounters with racism, and how they can then have a greater understanding, and ultimately a greater reservoir with which to deal with the situation itself."

 

 

"Rocky just got bullied the other day by a white supremacist person that he thought was his friend," the 50-year-old singer said of her nine-year-old son. "It's like, insane. This is the world we live in and I'm glad this came out in a timely fashion." Watch Mariah answer questions from fans and speak more about parenting during Black Lives Matter protests and speaking with her children about racism below.
