During a segment on #BlackLivesMatters activist Shaun King and the allegation he isn’t black at all, CNN host Don Lemon revealed that he had spoken to a family member of King’s who confirmed he was white.
“A family member tells CNN that both of King’s parents are white,”Lemon said on Wednesday night’s edition of CNN Tonight.
Conservative websites have also accused King of embellishing or fabricating a racial hate crime during his high school days. The same family member told Lemon that the altercation he had in high school was racially motivated… but because King was “a white guy dating a black girl.”
Lemon also revealed that he had a conversation with King about his racial identity. “Initially he did not answer but later referred to himself as biracial,” he said. “But then when I asked him if that’s what it shows on his birth certificate I did not hear back from him. No answer on that.”

...but because King was “a white guy dating a black girl.” Translation: Love triangle, no race issue involved

I’m shocked. Next thing you know, we’ll hear that Liz Warren really isn’t an Indian.

Why do they do this?
For the same reason criminals rob banks: Because that’s where the money is.

Why the heck does it take this long to expose a charlatan like this one? No one who knew him before he decided to claim he was Black bothered to turn him in. But it serves the BLM crowd right for believing anyone with a claim to Black victimhood, including Oprah.

Well, Michael Jackson went the other way by using his bleach kit and nose surgery...

Just because both his parents are white, he has to be too? That doesn’t seem fair. What a country.
