Hey White People: A Kinda Awkward Note to America by #Ferguson Kids



Six black kids from #Ferguson, MO bluntly and sarcastically educate white America about the racist reality in 2014. Recruited from the very block where unarmed black teen Michael Brown was gunned down by a white police officer, these kids ranging in age from 6 to 13 years old, use sometimes uncomfortable humor to show white people the continued racism their generation faces. Armed ONLY with statistics (hands up, don't shoot) these articulate and adorable kids are not having it while much of white America would rather pretend racism is over.

Sporting charity benefit T-shirts that read "Racism Is Not Over. But I'm
Over Racism." these kids from #Ferguson are helping raise funds for five different anti-racism causes. For every tee or hoodie sold at
http://FCKH8.com $5 is donated to make a difference (details @ http://FCKH8.com) with the bold tees that make a statement starting at $13.
