Williams referenced black-on-black crime and killings in particular.

“If you choose to ask me today ‘do Black Lives Matter?’ let me answer like this: No, black lives do not matter. Black lives will not matter. Black lives ought not matter. Black lives should not matter, black lives must not matter until black people start respecting black lives and stop killing ourselves, black lives can never matter,” he said.

Commenting on solo parenting, he said: “A black woman cannot raise a black boy to be a man.”
