'Don't drive with a wifebeater on. Don't drive with a du-rag on. Don't go out in public with neither.'

– Don't put your hoodie on.– Don't be out too late.– Never leave the store without a receipt or a bag, even if it's just a pack of gum.– Never leave the house without your ID.– Don't go out in public with a wifebeater or a du-rag.– If a cop stops you randomly and starts questioning you, don't talk back, just compromise.

– If you ever get pulled over, put your hands on the dashboard and ask if you can get your license and registration out. BuzzFeed spoke to Cameron, who said,"I want people to understand the type of things my mom has to instill in me because my people continue to be judged by the color of our skin and not the content of our character, as Martin Luther King Jr. said. It is a required conversation our parents must have to ensure that we come home alive."Cameron further explained the importance of his video's message:"Our voices are heard but not felt by the people.

This is making me cry :-(

Good mom.

With the last one as soon as i stop the car, my license and registration is out before the cop gets to the window.

This is not freedom when a mother has to constantly worry that her son might be targeted BY THE POLICE for being black. And that those officers who swore to preserve the law and protect the citizens ARE THE THREAT. BlackLivesMatter PoliceReformNow

Those are good rules..even I follow them and I'm mexican..

Not be an asshole when pulled over? and just cooperate like everyone else in the country?

Don Lemon calls out celebrities for 'sitting in your mansions and doing nothing' amid protestsOn Saturday night, CNN anchor Don Lemon called out celebrities and millionaires for 'sitting in your mansions and doing nothing' amid protests in the wake of George Floyd's death. But i don’t look up to celebrities as higher than the rest of us. Why should I be looking to them during this time? This! The only thing that can save us now is Miley Cyrus and/or Shia LeBeouf. WHAT ARE 'CELEBS' MEANT TO DO IN THE RIOTS..... GO LOOTING? SET FIRES? BECAUSE VERY FEW PEOPLE AND CITIES ARE ACTUALLY 'PROTESTING' AND MOST OF THEM DONT EVEN KNOW WHY THEY ARE THERE. THE SENSELESS KILLING OF A MAN HAS BEEN LOST IN THE RIOTS. ITS A RACE RIOT AND FERAL

Don Jr. Continues to Be an Incredibly Dangerous and Dumb ManConservative goons, our president and his large adult son included, have seized on blaming the rebellions in cities around the country as the product of radical leftists and “ANTIFA,” groups that exist but not quite in the ways that they think. But it turns out that at least one white nationalist group was masquerading as “ANTIFA” online, and they were recently exposed—though not before Don Jr. fell for their misinformation. Back in the old days 🙄 Jr. would be hounded everywhere he goes & his voice muted with heckling. The whole Trump thug family now called Mudd should be treated like the old man treats peaceful citizens chanting other opinions.
