He said, “We’ve been fighting right now in this time in our country… Everyone’s fighting, everyone’s looting. This is my father. I was born in foster care. I didn’t have a mother or father. They gave me away… This is my dad here, Jacob Benny. He’s been there since the beginning, he’s done everything. He’d lay his life down for me and I’d lay his life down for him.”

‘King’ Green continued, “I don’t judge any man on the color of their skin, but the content of their character. We’re here, we love. It doesn’t matter what color are us. It’s all about love. You can’t beat hate with hate. You beat hate with love. So everyone out there, please stop fighting. Please come together.”
