Richard Sherman, Social Commentary

From an interview in the Seattle Times:

“As a black man, I do understand that black lives matter,” Sherman said. “I stand for that, I believe in that wholeheartedly. But I also think that there’s a way … to do things, and I think the issue at hand needs to be addressed internally before you move on.

“From personal experience, living in the hood, living in the inner city, you deal with things. You deal with people dying. I dealt with a best friend getting killed, and it was two 35-year-old black men. With no police officer involved. Wasn’t anybody else involved, and I didn’t hear anybody shouting ‘black lives matter’ then.

“I think that’s the point we need to get to. We need to deal with our own internal issues before we move forward and start pointing fingers and start attacking other people. We need to solidify ourselves as people and deal with our issues. I think that as long as we have black-on-black crime, and one black man killing another … If black lives matter, then they should matter all the time.”

“At the end of the day, like I said, we’re humans. Humanity. Let’s celebrate our humanity. You’re categorizing people and racially profiling people; at the end of the day, when we die and our skin decays, our bones are the same. You can’t tell if someone was black, white, Asian, Latino. We don’t know what they were.

“I think this is the time to end that. I’m one person, and there are other people out there speaking up against it, but we do what we can.”
