America shows me that my Blackness is a threat, and I am treated as such.”⁠ ⁠ Lonnie, who plays the young Randall on the NBC comedy-drama "This Is Us," noted he “actually didn’t learn about being Black and what that would mean for me” until he was 7. Long talks with his parents, and reading books and watching movies, left him “overwhelmed with confusion, fear and sadness,” he said.⁠ ⁠ “Being a young Black boy in Hollywood made it even more fearful,” Lonnie recalled, remembering being “treated very poorly by security or entrance checkers” at events “like I wasn’t supposed to be there, until I had a publicist to announce me.”⁠ ⁠ Lonnie also wrote about being routinely mistaken for other Black child actors and being racially profiled at a restaurant. He told about a police officer pulling over his mother when they were driving in a new BMW and feared another cop was about to kill his father.
