For the first time, Kim Kardashian West spoke about gun laws, racism and gay rights at the Commonwealth Club of California.
She was there to promote her book Selfish, but the 45-minute conversation with LaDoris Cordell, the first female African American judge in Northern California, turned to more serious subjects.
“If I could do something to change the world...I’m not really a gun person, and we do not have strict enough gun control laws,” Kardashian said. Adding that she is not one to keep a gun in her house because they scare her.
This thought was prompted by the attack at a Charleston church on a group of African Americans, since Kardashian is married to black rapper, Kanye West.
“I think that when I was a teenager, my father knew or somehow put together that I was going to inevitably end up with a black guy and would make sure to tell me story after story about racial difficulties and how he always fought for the better,” she said, according to Daily Mail.
The conversation then turned to Caitlyn Jenner.
“Everyone has a different emotional transition to find their own way to support it,” she said, according to The Daily Beast. “Caitlyn has helped me learn to be less judgmental. Through it all, I saw it might be difficult for some people, but that’s still okay.”
She then added that when the Supreme Court decided to legalize gay marriage across the United States, it made her “proud of Obama and proud to be an American.”
