Angelina Jolie talks about her daughter Zahara and racism and discrimination in America

Angelina Jolie talks about her daughter Zahara and racism and discrimination in America. She tells Harper's Bazaar UK, "There are more than 70 million people who have had to flee their homes worldwide because of war and persecution — and there is racism and discrimination in America. A system that protects me but might not protect my daughter — or any other man, woman or child in our country based on skin color — is intolerable".

"We need to progress beyond sympathy and good intentions to laws and policies that actually address structural racism and impunity. Ending abuses in policing is just the start. It goes far beyond that, to all aspects of society, from our education system to our politics."

"Listen to those who are being oppressed and never assume to know".

"The way people are rising. Saying that they are tired with the excuses and half-measures, and showing solidarity with each other in the face of inadequate responses by those in power," she said. "It feels like the world is waking up, and people are forcing a deeper reckoning within their societies. It is time to make changes in our laws and our institutions — listening to those who have been most affected and whose voices have been excluded."
