King Randall described how he has been treated as a positive Black role model Tuesday on 'Fox News Primetime.'

Noting the "I can't breathe" catchphrase of the Black Lives Matter movement, Randall added that there are "so many young Black men in our cities [who] are saying right now that they can't breathe. They are standing around. They have so much energy for young Black men after they are dead. But we need to be fighting for young Black men before they die."
Despite the ostensible conservatism of his message, Randall resisted being politicized, saying he "shudder[s]" at politicization. He remarked that "even conservatives" have become "upset" with him for "going to different spaces…where…Black people don't have the best ideas or sayings about White people."
