There's an epidemic of violence against black people in America. That's why movements like #BlackLivesMatter have gained so much traction. We haven't forgotten the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Philandro Castile, and Alton Sterling and the mourning won't end anytime soon.

Luckily, Chris Lawrence is here to offer a solution. He's compiled a handy list of things black people should stop doing. These are not things that people can't do, but rather the mundane things that could possibly get you killed.

If you're unhappy about where things are going in Trump's America here are some places you can get involved to fight back.

Being black in America is a big issue and there's really no good reason why such is the case. Black lives matter, they have always mattered, and they continue to matter under President Trump. So protest hate, and spread love.
