Sherman spoke candidly about growing up in the inner city and watching his best friend die at the hands of two other black men. “Wasn’t no police officer involved, wasn’t anybody else involved, and I didn’t hear anybody shouting ‘black lives matter’ then.”

“We need to deal with our own internal issues before we move forward and start pointing fingers and start attacking other people,” he said. “We need to solidify ourselves as people and deal with our issues, because I think as long as we have black-on-black crime and, you know, one black man killing another … if black lives matter, then it should matter all the time.”
