Sandra Bullock expresses concern for African-American son

TORONTO, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Sandra Bullock recently expressed concern for son Louis to Glamour magazine.

The 51-year-old actress opened up about the 5-year-old for the publication's November issue. Bullock adopted Louis, who is African-American, from New Orleans in 2010, and shared her fears given today's racial climate in the interview.

"You see how far we've come in civil rights -- and where we've gotten back to now," she said. "I want my son to be safe. I want my son to be judged for the man he is. We are at the point now where if we don't do something, we will have destroyed what so many amazing people have done."

"You look at women's rights; it's turning into a mad, mad world out there," she added. "But sometimes it needs to get really loud for people to say, 'I can't unsee this.' If I could ride in a bubble with him for the rest of his life, I would. But I can't."

Bullock and then-husband Jesse James were on track to adopt Louis when they separated in spring 2010 following word of James' infidelity. The couple divorced in June of that year, but the actress proceeded with the adoption as a single parent.

"People go, 'Your adopted son,' and I go, 'Please don't say that. He is my son,'" she told Entertainment Tonight in June. "I think times are changing. I know there's a lot of ignorance and a lot of people just need time to catch up ... I look at the love that I have and I just wish for you that you can have that love, too."

New reports claim Bullock recently adopted a baby girl, and sources told Radar Online the star's new boyfriend, photographer Bryan Randall, will help care for the child. The pair looked the happy couple when they were photographed laughing together last week.
