American rapper A Boogie wit da Hoodie is sharing some best practices when dealing with law enforcement after being pulled over in New Jersey with his toddler. Parenting today is not like parenting two decades ago, especially for the parents of a child in the black community. With police brutality at an all-time high in this era, these parents have to be prepping their kids for the worst when it comes to a simple traffic stop or routine spot checks. It’s also important for these kids to learn certain mannerisms to avoid coming off as threatening just because of the color of their skin, and it’s an unfortunate stereotype that we hate to perpetuate but still need to protect our children from.

A Boogie wit da Hoodie has a 3-year-old daughter who he says has already formed a negative opinion about the police. However, he says it is his duty as a father to teach her that they’re not all that bad so she does not see them as public enemy number one. The rapper took to Instagram on Thursday to drop some wisdom about how to deal with police encounters as an African American.
