Teen shares mom's list of rules to stay safe 'as a young black man'
Over his 18 years, Cameron Welch picked up many lessons from his mom about how to stay safe. The Houston teen's TikTok featuring the “unwritten rules my mom makes me follow as a young black man” recently went viral, with more than 10 million views. It highlights the extra measures black people take to stay safe, which include:
Don’t put your hands in your pockets.
Don’t put your hoodie on.
Don’t be outside with no shirt on.
Check in with your people, it don’t matter even if you’re down the street.
Don’t be out too late.
Don’t touch anything you’re not buying.
Never leave the store without a receipt or bag, even if it’s just a pack of gum.
Never make it look like there’s an altercation between you and someone else.
Never leave the house without your ID.
Don’t drive with a wife beater on.
Don’t drive with a du rag on.
Don’t go out in public with neither.
Don’t ride with the music too loud.
Don’t stare at a Caucasian woman.
If a cop stops you randomly and starts questioning, don’t talk back, just compromise.
If you ever get pulled over hands on the dash board and ask if you can get out your license and registration out.
