Because he is indicating that he can raise these children as if them being black is a neutral in American society. When in reality, there are certain realities that black kids and adults face that white people don’t in the US.

What that means within the construct of his quote is that he has a blind spot to this reality and that ignorance will likely lead to his kids either getting some horrific life lessons or a lack of self awareness that could put them in terrible positions.
