Charities Touted By Black Lives Matter Activist Shaun King Appear To Have Never Existed
Daily Caller ^ | November 16, 2015 | Chuck Ross

Two charities that prominent Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King has claimed to have created and has touted publicly were never officially formed, The Daily Caller has learned.

King, who was recently hired as a justice writer at the New York Daily News, began raising money for a group called Justice That’s All last September, just after Michael Brown was fatally shot by a Ferguson, Mo. police officer. He also said in interviews in 2013 that a media company he co-founded, Upfront Media Group, would send a portion of its proceeds to an affiliated nonprofit, the Upfront Foundation.

But an extensive search of state nonprofit registration records, IRS records, and other databases returns no documentation showing that either of those entities were formally created.

King’s disgruntled volunteers and donors have offered several theories for why his charities have failed. Some claim that he is perpetuating old-fashioned scams. King’s lack of financial transparency and his alleged habit of chastising and blocking those who ask questions about donations and spending have bolstered the theory.

The scam theory sounds like the most probable of them all.

Shaun King, a white guy who has successfully continued to pretend he is a black guy, even after it was definitively proven.

His story: his mother lied on his birth certificate about who his father was, but he told the truth about these fake charities.

Scam artist...

He is the senior justice writer for the New York Daily News. Previously, he was a contributing writer for Daily Kos.

attended Morehouse College, a private historically black men’s college in Atlanta, Georgia, where he majored in History. Midway through his education he had to take a medical leave

After graduation, Kings was a high school civics teacher for about a year and then became a motivational speaker for Atlanta’s juvenile justice system. He was then a pastor at Total Grace Christian Center in DeKalb County, Georgia.

In 2008, King founded a church in Atlanta, Georgia called “Courageous Church”. He made use of social media to recruit new members and was known as the “Facebook Pastor”.

In 2012, King resigned from the Courageous Church citing personal stress and disillusionment. That same year he and web designer Chad Kellough founded HopeMob.org, a charity site that used voting to select a particular person’s story and then raise money for that story until its goal was met.

In August 2015, Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos questioned King’s biracial identity based on information from King’s birth certificate. Yiannopoulos insinuated that the person listed as King’s father was white based on the analysis of an independent blogger. King said that the man listed on his birth certificate is not his biological father, and that his biological father is a light-skinned black man.

And now if the New York Daily News tries to dump this fraudster, they will be confronted by a BLM mob.

I bet they didn’t check for bank accounts in the Caymans or Capo Verde with that account name.

All those folks who thought they were donating to a nonprofit needs to redo their taxes... ‘cause it's NOT deductible...
