Dear old Shaun King has jumped on the racism bandwagon (as if he has any other) and has proclaimed that giving out information about the gorilla kid father's criminal history is racist.

Shaun must have missed out on the first news cycle when all the real racists thought the kid was white and said it was racist for killing the gorilla.

Shaun King- the perpetually offended possibly-pretend black person.

“Even if he was there, do you sincerely think anyone would be talking about his criminal history if he was white? I don’t.”

NO SALE

It became all about race BEFORE anyone knew the race of the family.

Even if he was there, do you sincerely think anyone would be talking about his criminal history if he was white? I don't.

On the contrary Shaun. You need to get out more. Before everyone knew that the baby was black, there were an awful lot of BLM SJWs assuming the baby was white and screaming on line that they killed the gorilla because of white privilege, and that if the baby had been black, the gorilla would still be alive.

How does Shaun King, who is whiter than sour cream, have a dog in this fight?

The father’s history has no bearing on what happened. That the Mail would highlight it is yellow journalism at its most blatant.

....figures right on cue...King. Must be a lite news day at NYT annex

[Polynikes]

I seem to remember the the initial racist tweets and such that assumed the gorilla was killed precisely because the boy was white. White privilege and all that.
As far as the father having a record and being employed you have to give him some slack his work-release program probably doesn't allow side trips to the zoo./s

When leftist narratives collide.

It was individual blacks, and Black Lies Matter who started screaming racism long before the Daily Mail ran any story. I heard claims that the gorilla was shot because it was black. Essentially, such blacks are claiming kinship with the gorilla.

Wait! Stop! Hold everything!

First it was racist because the little boy was thought to be white.

Now, it is racist because the little boy is actually black?

OK, got it! ;-)

Sometimes we ‘privileged whites’ simply cannot catch a break!

thank u for that info. I thought he was the not black blackman.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Why would it matter if the kid was black or white? Oh, I see, this is a New York Daily News article. They are anything but straight when it comes to the up and up about racial issues. The kid could be purple and it would not make a bit of difference to the issue.

The New York Daily News is trash!

[RightOnTheBorder]

Racism certainly has found it’s way in. As per usual the black bigots are trying to find a way to use the situation against whites.

The Zoo is the only party here is negligent, IMO. If you have a zoo, it is on you to prevent animals from getting out.... and to prevent toddlers from getting in.

That people dug into and published the fathers criminal background is just another example of how newspaper reporters and editors are generally scum.
