In a 2018 interview with People Magazine, Bassett revealed that their twins have been targeted by racism and colorism since the age of 4! Ridiculous, ain’t it?
Bassett: “Even from the age of 4, from preschool, they’ve had to deal with — and as crazy as it seems or sounds — color issues. Or because they were African-Americans, and whether other kids will play with them or have issue with that.”
She admitted that it breaks her heart to watch her beautiful, proud Black babies endure that level of ignant criticism from kids with “young minds,” who she believes only learned such hatred from their brainwashed parents:
“It makes you gasp and it just squeezes your heart sometimes, because you never want your kids to go through these sort of pain issues or you thought it’d be much later, once they get a firm footing of who they are.”
Maybe one day, Bronyn and Slater will be able to turn those negative experiences into positives, by using their voice to school others on how to judge individuals based on the content of their character and nothing more.
