The Black Lives Matter activist responds to a series of attacks on his credibility by conservative bloggers, who have tried to paint him as another Rachel Dolezal.
Shaun King, a prominent voice in the Black Lives Matter movement, denied accusations that he lied about being biracial and a victim of a brutal racial attack by a white mob, the New York Times reports.
The Daily Caller, a right-wing conservative blog, has been circulating posts for weeks that question King’s honesty. One conservative blogger claimed to have evidence that King’s father was white, which would disprove the activist’s claim that his father is black. King responded on Twitter to his legion of followers: “Every single person who knows me BEYOND Twitter, beyond trending topics and HIT PIECES, knows I have never lied about my race.”
The allegations reached a crescendo Wednesday when conservative media site Breitbart published a piece suggesting that King misled Oprah Winfrey by pretending to be biracial in order to receive a scholarship to Morehouse College. King, 35, attended the historically black college in Atlanta with a scholarship sponsored by Oprah. He responded on Twitter to Breitbart’s article: “I did not concoct a lie about my race to get into @Morehouse. I did not concoct a lie about my race to get an @Oprah scholarship.”
His lifelong friends also used social media to defend the activist. Willis Polk attested on Facebook to a white mob beating King “to a bloody pulp” in high school and accused city officials in Versailles, Ky., of covering up the hate crime. He also recalls that people in their rural town believed that King was biracial and often called him the n-word “just as much, if not more than, myself or any of my black friends and family.”

Well, if Bruce Jenner is a woman, then Shaun King and Rachel Dolezal are black.
If Jeb is Hispanic, Shaun King is black
Both of his parents are white.
He’s a fraud!!!
The obsession with race in this country is a terminal pathology.

Anybody can be ‘black’, it’s a cultural classification.
So we can see which direction the defense of this screwball is heading -- he BELIEVED he was bi-racial. Just like Liz Warren, all that matters is that at some point, someone told him he was bi-racial and that's ALL that matters. What a load.
I just read that Don Lemon was told by one of King’s relatives that he was white.
Is he just another example of liberal’s thinking that minority people cannot take care of themselves so someone else ( white person, government, etc) must do it for them?
Apparently, #BlackPrivilegeMatters
Shaun in Gaelic is Sean. In Ebonics, it is Shawn. Or maybe Shawyon or Shawone. In English it’s John. In Spanish it’s Juan. French, Jean. Italian, Giovanni
So with a little coaching this guy could be damn near anything he wants to.
Yes, and they pretend not to understand how utterly racist that is.
This is why liberals hate people like Ben Carson, Justice Thomas, and others so deeply and viscerally. They explode the progressive racist myth and thus encourage others to do the same. That cannot be permitted.
“He has no secrets, but he does have a private life,” Rai King said. “His story is beautifully difficult, and painful. And I’ve actually encouraged him to tell it publicly because it is a unique expression of this country’s sordid and ridiculous history with race. But it’s his story to tell.”
This was described as defending him about a specific question about his race? Its not like people are asking to know his inner most secrets...its a specific question, and that seems like a pretty weird way to defend him if he was being honest.
I think I understand - he’s lying about being a liar.
He might be psychotic thus split from reality. To put it another way in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary he may really believe he is a negro. Such unrealistic beliefs are typical of leftists.
We need racial screening on a serological basis, and we need it now. Right now we have no scientific basis for racial determination!
It’s not the people in this country, it’s the media -— the TV screen too many people stare at day after day. As if the media were ‘the people’.
And if your aunt had balls she’d be your uncle, but she doesn’t. And neither are these people black, or Jenner a woman.
Mental illness among lefties isn’t surprising. They look at what others have and want to take it away, want to control others and are convinced they can create utopia on earth....totally crazy!
The irony ...
