Fireworks Erupt Between Fox Sports 1’s Whitlock, Black Lives Matter’s King Over Peyton Manning
Breitbart ^ | 19 Feb 2016 | Trent Baker

Posted on 02/21/2016 8:44:39 AM PST by Rummyfan

Friday, Jason Whitlock guest-hosted Fox Sports 1 radio’s “The Herd” and invited “Black Lives Matter” activist Shaun King, who has been of accused of being misleading about his ethnicity, to discuss his hit piece on Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, who was accused of sexual assault while he was playing for the University of Tennessee in 1996.

King first tried to rip into Whitlock and was hung up on in the first minute. After being brought back on, King tried to continue attacking Whitlock and he was quickly muted because Whitlock wanted to talk about the Peyton Manning story that King is now bringing back up 20 years later.

...

“If appealing to people over Twitter or radio through shortsighted ‘Hey, Cam Newton’s getting criticized, let me tear down a white guy. That proves my blackness.’ If that’s what blackness is, I wasn’t raised properly by my parents or family because that’s not what we thought blackness was. It never had a damn thing to do with tearing white people down. It always has something to do with building us up and doing positive things and moving yourself and your family forward,” Whitlock replied.

Shaun King is a racist hater.

Shaun King -- the Rachel Dolezal of the #BLM Twitterverse. Glad to see Whitlock call him out on it.

Whitlcok nailed King's motivations: "Hey, Cam Newton's getting criticized, let me tear down a white guy [Manning]. That proves my blackness."

Manning and the Broncos stole the Super Bowl from Cam—They must be made to pay.

This is the first time I really noticed the coach’s arm.

Was Newton reacting to almost getting backhanded?

I thought previously that he was reacting to something [such as a TD] on the field.

“Shaun King, who has been of accused of being misleading about his ethnicity..”

Uh, no. He lied about being black, he’s white.

Shaun King appears to be a white man, and certainly grew up as white. He claims to have a black father and to be the offspring of an adulterous relationship, but who knows or cares. He seems far too angry at white people, given that he himself would be taken for white if he didn't try so desperately to be portrayed as black. Nothing this guy has to say can be considered outside of the context that he appears to be a troubled white man trying to pass as black.

This appears to be a growing trend for leftists trying to establish their credibility - claiming to be members of minority ethnic groups they don't actually belong to.

Would they invite the KKK on? BLM is the same thing. Racist thugs without a shred of credibility or respectability. BLM activists should be treated like the scum they are.

Every white person that he attacks should just respond to him by saying, “I’m black”.

That would be hillarious.

Read an article here yesterday that implied the smear job on Manning was done in reaction to the bad press Newton got after his petulant post-game press conference.

Many kudos to Whitlock for trying to inject a little sanity into this ridiculous “movement.”

First Take on ESPN has been relentless on this story.
Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless won’t let it go.
They keep saying how much respect they have for this Shaun King guy.

Guess they won’t be happy till Manning gets ostracized from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
