Jada Pinkett Smith Talks A Time Two Cops Used Racial Slurs On Her

In the latest episode of her series Red Table Talk (via The Huffington Post), Jada Pinkett Smith spoke about a time that two white police officers used racial slurs against her when she was younger. Here are highlights:

On being harassed by the police: “I remember going to Virginia Beach ― remember when they had the riots? And I was there by myself — terrified — trying to get back to my hotel. I will never forget these two white officers. I was like, ‘I’m just trying to get down the street so I can get to my hotel’ and they said, ‘You better get your n****r bitch ass off this street right now.’”

On having to stop her own prejudices: “Blond hair on white women just triggers me, and I’ve had to catch myself. I thought, ‘I don’t know if I want to do that.’ That was my first instinct because of how she looked! And I was like, ‘Oh! That’s no different.’ That doesn’t give me the right to clump all blond women in one.”
