President Obama knows the importance of reaching young people where they are — and that’s on TikTok.

So we worked with @TheDemocrats and some fun creators to do just that.

“Black People Are Tired Of Hearing I’m Sorry”

Systemic Dehumanization Is The Root

Dehumanization is what enables someone to overlook that you are about to shoot a black man in the back just a few feet away from three children sitting in the car watching. You cannot stop the killing of black people without stopping the systematic dehumanization of black people.
