Tina Knowles-Lawson said you better put some respect on my son-in-law's name. 👏
, a clip from Tina's new project, "I can remember getting on a plane, and an older white woman saying, 'Oh, your son is a gangster rapper, right? How did you let him marry your daughter?'" Tina said in a clip, alluding to her son-in-law,, who married Beyoncé back in 2008. The couple has three children, 10-year-old Blue Ivy, and 4-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.
"It was just shocking to me and I said, 'No, actually, my son is a CEO,'" Tina recalled."She didn't think of him as a CEO, or even a talented celebrity that was a great businessman. At that time, I remember thinking, 'I can't be mad at her, because that is what the media portrays.'" After the clip aired, Tina appeared on the morning show via video call and reflected more on the experience she described in the clip.
"I sat there and I thought about how the media portrays Black men and how that is typical of the things that they would focus on, the negatives," Tina said."[They] try to portray us as these dangerous, our men as dangerous, uneducated. Gangster rapper, that's all she could come up with, but that's what she had been seeing on TV and all in the media. That's how we're portrayed, unfortunately.
Tina Knowles-Lawson, executive producer of the new docuseries, “Profiled: The Black Man,” talks about the damaging stereotype that Black men are “dangerous” — and her hope to reshape society’s views.
