The past few days have been nothing short of draining. Going to bed Tuesday night hearing that another unarmed black man was killed, only to attempt to sleep Wednesday night after watching the Falcon Heights shooting video was nothing short of tragic. In times like these, it is crucial to remember that as a black person in America, our self-care is crucial.

On Thursday afternoon, #CarefreeBlackKids2k16 started trending on Twitter. It was started by Heben Nigatu, the co-host of one of our favorite podcasts, Another Round and a co-writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The hashtag resurrected some of our favorite viral videos of all time, as well as some new ones we haven’t seen before.
