As grief sets in from this week's deadly shootings of black men and police officers in Louisiana, Minnesota and Texas, many on the internet have been looking for some relief. They have found it in the form of a hashtag — #CarefreeBlackKids2k16 — which has been compiling songs, dances and funny carefree moments of young black children. Lol they don't even know what an aquarium is, #niece&nephew #carefreeblackkids2k16 pic.twitter.com/SIO1Ntt45Y — @MustafaThePoetTalking like they're grown men lmao 😂😂😂 #CareFreeBlackKids2k16 https://t.co/LDHa605cmB — @NxdifThe hashtag even had its celebrity supporters. The hashtag was started by Heben Nigatu, who works on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and co-hosts the podcast called Another Round. I am following @heavenrants and #CarefreeBlackKids2K16 because boy do I need this today.
