What’s not to love about Sandra Bullock? God, she is so real and endearing. I love everything she does.

[@JC-dz3kv]

She’s quickly becoming one of my favorites.

[@angelacarleton9575]

Sandra got it right work until she feels it is time to take a break to pay attention to what is important her family. Not everyone can do this but it is nice to see others that can.

'What's not to love...?' Well, for starters, how about the fact that she's just another hypocritical fool among the shamefully long line of self-absorbed, elitist, left-wing lunatic dolts that populate the phony world of "Hollywood".

How cool this lady is: When she won a Razzie after she won an Oscar, she showed up in person to accept the Razzie, and was a good sport about it.

She was our friend on the big screen for over 30 years. She deserves this break from the bottom of the heart. Her sweet little offsprings will soon be teenagers and now it's time to enjoy the last sweet years of childhood with her children. - Have a nice time, dear Sandra. And thank you for being such a great person.

[@leslieottley8951]

I am watching CBS Mornings and they had an interview with SandraBullock. She’s raising two black children she said something that I have never heard anyone say which is she understands how black women feel raising their children and how you never have 100% enjoyment of raising your child in this world like white women do! thank you Ms. Bullock I appreciate the fact that you said it out loud!

[@christmasmachuka684]

Why couldn't she have her own kids instead of adopting??

[@naturegirl2873]

Yeah and she also speaks as a RICH white woman . She has no business speaking as an average person at all. I saw an interview where she told her 6 year old son he shouldn't wear a hoodie because black people get treated differently than white people. Uh...I live in a predominantly white area and it doesn't matter if you're white,black male, female.....If you wear a hoodie in the store, they keep eyes on you.

[@ktaylor7901]

After watching this interview and listening to Sandra, I love and admire her more than ever. What she said about how us white women don’t realize the fear black women live with when raising their black children, is something very important and profound. I feel such sadness for any mother, regardless of her race, who has ever felt this. Racism in the world must end.

[@ASmith-jn7kf]

I think she's talking about more in the past.

[@2449559]

What fear...her black child will not be living in the ghetto. The child will live on her estate. More racist nonsense

[@doody244]

@@2449559 What about if her son is just walking around Austin? Maybe he goes to the store or to a concert with his friends. Some Texan gun nut thinks he looks "suspicious". That's all it takes. He isn't going to stay at her house 24/7. He also won't be wearing a sign that says " Sandra Bullock's son". Yes if the cops pick him up and he says who he is chances are he will get out of trouble. It could also backfire and make them MORE inclined to give him a hard time. Some racist hillbilly could easily become even angrier if he knew that information.

Her cafe looks great 👍! And she really expressed her feelings about motherhood well and the anxiety woman who are not white face trying to protect their children from a world 🌎 that hates them just because of their color...😫

[@k.tinder8905]

It's a hot PC subject that is so touchy that few dare to tread, unless what they say is PC. Ms. Sandra is correct in what she said, about black mom's worrying constantly for their kids simply because of their skin color. The flip side of that statement I will not go into, cause then I'm labeled racist. Truth is a hard thing if said rarely or not at all.

[@kionasehan2256]

Congratulations Sandra! I am happy for you. Your decision to give time to your family (child) is a very wise decision. Your kid are your inspiration. Enjoy your kid, enjoy your being a mother. I love watching The Blind Side - so touching

[@kevinmatt1052]

@Millicient Aspinet what are you talking about?? It was the interviewer that mentioned the buildings original purpose not Ms Bullock. You know nothing about her apparently especially of all the philanthropic work. Maybe you should sit down, stop being negative, and find a purpose for YOUR SAD LIFE - what have YOU done for the world?

[@ronsantiago9736]

Yes! What is not to love about Sandra? I fell in love with her for the very first time on the Net and so deserving of an Oscar on the bBind Side which I have watched countless times on Thanksgiving. She like countless African American women fear for the safety of their children in this country no matter how privileged their family may be. KUDOS Sandra for being so REAL when little people of color like me can see TRUTH. KUDOS!!!! We hope to see you soon!!! The Lost City was a blast I wish Melisa was in it too???

[@nhiaalberts5118]

Just because her kids are black doesn't mean that other ethnicity families do not go through worrying about their kids. Perhaps she herself hasn't live a everyday life like the rest of us. We have kids and the struggles are real worrying about our children. Not just black mothers. I've lost some respect for her. I don't agree with you. It's this thinking says having a certain skin color predetermines things. I'm Asian. My kids are mixed Asian and White. That doesn't matter to me. I teach my children to be strong and stand up for what they believe in and do not let others judge or mistreat them based on skin color. You are strong because of who you are. I don't raise my children to believe in victim hood because of ethnicity but change the world. Be you. I myself grew up in the inner city of Detroit and had many friends of different colors. I saw all types of people bullied and yes, white people bullied greatly not just black people. Yes, all mothers cry and worry for their children.

Ms. Bullock saying being with family might not be sexy is about the sexiest thing I've ever heard an actor/actress say. Being home with the family and all that goes into family dynamics, good and bad is by far more actactive than all the lights and glamour of stardom. Maybe because family is stemmed in reality and and hollywood is about as far from reality as one can get. I've always found Ms. Bullock to be extremely attractive in all ways.
