Sandra Bullock Concerns For Raising Black Son






















Sandra Bullock opens up about everything from George Clooney to her career in the November issue of Glamour magazine. It's the cover star's discussion of her family -- specifically her son, Louis -- that make the interview stand out.  “You see how far we’ve come in civil rights — and where we’ve gotten back to now. I want my son to be safe. I want my son to be judged for the man he is,” Bullock says of her black 5-year-old son whom she adopted from New Orleans. “We are at a point now where if we don’t do something, we will have destroyed what so many amazing people have done.”

The Academy Award winner also expressed her desire to provide a lifelong safety-net for her child.
“You look at women’s rights; it’s turning into a mad, mad world out there. But sometimes it needs to get really loud for people to say, ‘I can’t unsee this.’ If I could ride in a bubble with him for the rest of his life, I would. But I can’t.”

Bullock also added that the birth of Louis was the "greatest gift" and forced her to get her "sh*t together." According to People magazine, Bullock began her adoption process in 2006 with then husband Jesse James before finalizing the adoption as a single parent following the pair’s separation. Unconfirmed reports recently surfaced that the 51-year-old actress has finalized her second adoption process with a baby girl.
