When Whitney Weathers' son came home with a pretend gun in his hand after a playdate with a white friend, clueless to the George Floyd murder and protests, Weathers immediately said to him, "Oh black boy, you do not get to pretend that you have a gun in your hand." Her son, 9 years old, already knew why. "It's because people will kill me," he told his mother, adding, "Mom, I don't know why they don't like us."
