It can be difficult raising a black kid in America and Kristin Davis is learning that fast.

On Monday's episode of Facebook Watch series "Red Table Talk" with Jada Pinkett Smith, the "Sex and the City" star discusses interracial adoption and opens up about what it's like being a white mom to two black kids.

Davis got teary-eyed as she recounted instances of prejudice she and her daughter, Gemma, had faced.

"When she was a baby and I'd be holding her in my arms, people would say to me 'Won't she be a great basketball player?'" the 54-year-old mom shared. "How dare they limit my child and how dare they make that assumption and how dare they not even know? Like how could they just say it like so casual?"

Davis recounted another instance in which her daughter was being excluded from playing on swings by a group of white girls. When she went to complain to administration and explained that Gemma was being picked on because she's black, they told her "we just see them all the same, we don't see color."

"I don't know how every person of color has gotten through this," Davis said. "I don't understand how you could take this every day."

Smith's mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, asked Davis how she's become more aware of white privilege since the adoption of her kids.

"You absolutely do not fully understand, there's no doubt, there's no way you could," Davis said. "Because you could understand that you live in white privilege and that's a theory and you could see things, but it's one thing to be watching it happening to other people and it's another thing when it's your child and you haven't personally been through it."

The mom added that it's a big issue that she constantly thinks about. Thankfully, the actress explained how she has a "village" of black moms that she turns to to ask for help because she constantly wants to learn.

Banfield-Jones expressed concern to Davis, saying that raising a black son in America can be difficult.

"I'm worried too, I mean listen, every day, every day something new happens and I think about it," Davis said. "Every night I worry."

'Your black skin is beautiful'

Davis opened up about mothering a black daughter during a speaking engagement in New York in 2016.

"Until you actually have a child, which is like your heart being outside you, and that heart happens to be in a brown body, and you have people who are actively working against your child, it’s hard," she said. "It fills me with terror."

Davis added she tries to show her daughter images of powerful black women such as Serena Williams and gives her words of affirmation such as "Your curls are beautiful, your black skin is beautiful."
