Family Member Confirms to CNN That #BlackLivesMatter Activist Shaun King Is White
Mediaite ^ | 20 August 2015 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 08/20/2015 9:45:55 AM PDT by Steely Tom

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.”

Shaun King and this lady should meet up. I'm sure they'd get along famously!

Shawn King works for George Soros

They ALL do! They're just ACORN operating under an assumed identity.

And apparently the real reason for the altercation was a CD King had borrowed.

It just goes to show that “n****r” is a state of mind.

Once you go black, and get caught, you should be forced to go back.
Publicly. Contrite apology on major media, plus full disclosure of motivation.
This would result in public admissions by white liberal SJWs that black victimhood is where the biggest money is, i.e. black privilege.

He and Rachel Dolezal ought to get together. They’d be the first openly transracial couple.

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

That has to be post of the day!!!

Ah memories of my youth (1960) when the most provocative movie was I PASSED FOR WHITE!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Passed_for_White

Hows about a sequel, WE PASSED FOR BLACK!

And there it is. If a black man wants to milk the system, the possibilities are endless. Concessions. Low interest loans. Points added to med school entrance exams. They’ve extorted trillions from us, and there’s no let up in sight.

You did know that this guy was a "pastor" at the "Total Grace Christian Center" in Atlanta, right?

Lowlife white getting high on being a black victim... disgusting.

We keep hearing about “white privilege.” You’d think that if there were such a thing, you’d seeing prominent examples of blacks trying to pass as whites to get ahead instead of the reverse. In the past couple of weeks alone we’ve had Shaun King and Rachel Dolezal, the last well-publicized example of a famous black trying to pass as white that I can think of is critic/writer Anton Broyard, and that was decades back.
