On September 9th, FCKH8.com released a video campaign to support organizations fighting racism in Ferguson, Missouri. The video entitle, “Hey White People: A Kinda Awkward Note to America by #Ferguson Kids by FCKH8.com,” featured children from Ferguson wearing t-shirts stating “Racism isn’t over, but I’m over racism”. The video now has over 400,000 views on YouTube.

The campaign came after the shooting death of an unarmed person, Michael Brown, by a police officer, Darren Wilson. The shooting revealed that racial tensions in Missouri existed and called to end the violence and racism.
To support FCKH8’s campaign to end racism, you can buy a t-shirt, bracelet, or hoodie that shares the same slogan as the kids in the video, “Racism Is Not Over. But I’m Over Racism.”
