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:
Dont put your hands in your pockets.
Dont put your hoodie on.
Dont be outside with no shirt on.
Check in with your people, it dont matter even if youre down the street.
Dont be out too late.
Dont touch anything youre not buying.
Never leave the store without a receipt or bag, even if its just a pack of gum.
Never make it look like theres an altercation between you and someone else.
Never leave the house without your ID.
Dont drive with a wife beater on.
Dont drive with a du rag on.
Dont go out in public with neither.
Dont ride with the music too loud.
Dont stare at a Caucasian woman.
If a cop stops you randomly and starts questioning, dont 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.
