"I'm sorry for not being educated enough to understand that I will never understand what it's like to be African American, to be a person of color, to be Black in this country and in this world," he added."I will never understand that. But, I stand with you, and I am sorry. Black lives matter, and I am sorry."

"THIS IS F--KING GROWTH BRO!!!!!! Your life matters JUST as much as mine! But when we say black lives matter, we're just saying cops don't treat us as if we matter ... and we're just saying our lives matter too!" he wrote."Not trying to diminish yours or anybody else's. In the eyes of cops, we feel ours is valued less. Glad you understand bro. The movement isn't trying to divide. Just trying to bring equality! Def appreciate this from you bro. Real talk.
