By the age of 11, Cameron Welch had memorized the list of warnings his mom had given to him through the years whenever he was walking out the door: Dont put your hands in your pockets. Dont put your hoodie on. Dont be outside without a shirt on. Check in with your people, even if youre down the street.

A week ago, the 18-year-old from Houston shared the list in a powerful TikTok video that now has over 10.4 million views. Jus some unwritten rules my mom makes me follow as a young black man #blacklivesmatter, Welch wrote in the caption.

The checklist Welch recites is extensive, covering everything from how to behave in a store so a shop clerk wont accuse you of stealing to clothes you shouldnt wear while driving if you dont want to be pulled over by the police:

Dont put your hands in your pockets.

Dont put your hoodie on.

Dont be outside without a shirt on.

Check in with your people, 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 a 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 wifebeater on.

Dont drive with a du-rag on.

Dont go out in public with a wifebeater or a du-rag.

Dont ride with the music too loud.

Dont stare at a Caucasian woman.

If a cop stops you randomly and starts questioning you, dont 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.

Welch said that hearing about George Floyds death at the hands of Minneapolis police last week pushed him to speak out and share what its like to live with such a heightened awareness of the police.

In this moment in our country, it was necessary for me to use my voice, so I put out the video, he told HuffPost. I wanted people to hear and understand the real truth of a Black mans daily experience.

In the comments under the TikTok post, many Black and Latino teens said theyd memorized similar checklists from years of being lectured by their parents.

Parents raising Black children commented, too.

Saving this video for my future son, one TikTok user told Welch.

His future shouldnt be like this, Welch wrote back.

In another recent video, Welch talks about how his friends dont say Ill see you later after hanging out at each others houses and heading home. Instead, they say, Stay safe.

Every Black man has that feeling of, Am I gonna come home today? he says in the clip.

Welch said he hopes the viral videos open more peoples eyes to the unfair reality of everyday life for so many Black Americans.

I want people to see that we need change and that no one should have to live like this, he said.
