Left-wing activist Shaun King announced to his 6 million followers that his Instagram account was deactivated on Monday. Shaun King’s posts have focused heavily on condemnation of Israel, including accusing the Jewish state of “genocide” and “war crimes” in its military operations in Gaza. In a video, King said he was informed his Instagram account was being deactivated and said it was because Meta platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, have “decided to stand in the way of those of us that are fighting for the human rights and dignity of Palestinians.” However, his Facebook account, which like Instagram is owned...

haun King is a “Narrative Negro.” He’s not black. Not even close. Check his birth certificate. Check his childhood pictures. As a child, he looked like Opie Taylor. As an adult, he looks like the white man listed on his birth certificate. But what we’ve learned in the past 20 years is that blackness isn’t a skin color. It’s a narrative. Narrative Negroes are people — regardless of skin color — who devote their lives and public personas to advancing the line that black Americans are perpetual victims of white supremacy. King, the Black Lives Matter activist, is the Narrative...

Two American women who were held hostage by Hamas are pushing back on claims made by far-left activist Shaun King, who claimed that he knew them and that he helped negotiate their release. -snip Two weeks ago, King claimed that Natalie’s family contacted him and asked him to help “find [Natalie Raanan] and bring her to safety.” “Natalie and her family are supporters of mine, protested against police brutality in the United States with me, and have spoken out against injustice in Israel,” he wrote. “I believe we have confirmed that she was NOT killed in Israel, but we are...

Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King is threatening to doxx multiple New York Post reporters and their families after the journalists published a series of unflattering reports about the controversial activist's lavish spending and purchases. King posted photos of New York Post journalists Isabel Vincent and Kevin Sheehan on his Instagram and Facebook accounts, encouraging his followers to send him photos of their families and homes.

"The amount of pain this woman caused my family...

"Claiming reporters brought “pain, misery, and turmoil” to he and his family, Sean King just threatened New York Post journalists with doxxing. King asked his supporters (AKA low IQ democRATs) to send him information about Isabel Vincent and Kevin Sheehan of the New York Post. Sean is upset they reported on him buying an $842,000 home (described as a “sprawling house on a lake”) and a $40,000 mastiff (described as a sprawling dog on the floor; the largest ever of which was 37 inches tall and 345 pounds…yikes). Those purchases do prove that race hoax grifting pays well. “The amount...

...Somehow, despite the accusations and criticisms from some of the most credible people in the race grievance industry, King has continued to raise money. It appears he’s used that money to make some very important purchases in the fight against racial injustice. Among those purchases is a $40,000 dog, a Mastiff for his family they named Marz. King’s PAC, Grassroots Law, has handed over the sum in a pair of payments to Potrero Performance Dogs in California since December, the Washington Free Beacon reported. The PAC paid Protero $10,000 in December, followed by a $30,650 payment in February. Days after...

Activist Shaun King lives lavishly in lakefront New Jersey home Shaun King has built his image on being a champion of the poor and disenfranchised, but the controversial civil rights activist lives like a one-percenter in a sprawling lakefront home, records show. King, 41, moved earlier this year from a luxury two-bedroom apartment in downtown Brooklyn, to the five-bedroom, 3,000 square foot North Brunswick, NJ, property, with “a lakefront backyard” and gourmet kitchen, according to public records. The property, surrounded by lush, tall trees, was purchased by King’s wife, Rai-Tonicia King, a Ph.D. candidate and educator, in November 2020 for...

The family of Tamir Rice has spoken out publicly to denounce civil rights activist, Shaun King. Considered a fund raising fraud, King has frequently been accused of using an anti-police, pro-critical race theory platform for profit and notoriety. Samaria Rice, mother of the deceased Tamir Rice, released an Instagram post calling out King’s new podcast episode titled “I spoke to Samaria Rice this past week.” She accused King of using communications with the family for headline-hungry activism.

Tuesday Shaun King published a lengthy piece on The North Star titled “I spoke with Samaria Rice this past week.” Samaria Rice is the mother of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old shot by police in a Cleveland park back in 2014. Today, Samaria Rice posted a statement on Instagram lashing out at King and accusing him of being a “white man acting black.”

I want us to have a hard conversation—about race, about injustice and about the possibility that America could seize the unprecedented moment we are in now, the aftermath of prosecutors and a jury finally holding a violent police officer accountable for killing an unarmed Black man, to finally address the systemic problems that brought us to this point. But first I'd like to talk not about racism and murder, but about peanut butter. Imagine for a moment that the FDA has issued an emergency nationwide recall on peanut butter. All of it. Creamy and crunchy. The organic expensive stuff and...

A Twitter spokesman says activist and accused fraudster Shaun King’s threat to name Kenosha, Wisc., police officers is “not in violation” of its rules — including its ban on “a threat of harm against an identifiable group,” a rule used to censor President Trump. King tweeted Tuesday that the Kenosha Police Department must “name the officer” who shot Jacob Blake, or “we will simply begin naming officers from your department who may or may not be him.” The former Daily News columnist has 1.1 million followers and the tweet was widely criticized as a threat against officers uninvolved in the...

Left-wing activist and media darling Shaun King continues to hurl his brand of toxicity into Kenosha, Wisconsin, by doxing individual police officers for his bloodthirsty followers. “To the Kenosha Police Department, If you do not name the officer who brutally shot Jacob Blake on Sunday, we will simply begin naming officers from your department who may or may not be him,” King tweeted from his verified account. “XXXX it. Your protection of his identity is unethical. What’s his name?”

Controversial social justice warrior Shaun King has found himself at the center of controversy again after he first sparked the anger of Donald Trump by calling for 'white European' Jesus statues to be torn down and then alleged cops in Long Beach are plotting to kill him. . . . King penned a blog post on Medium Thursday detailing how he had been made aware of a private Facebook group of ex-cops from Long Beach where multiple officers 'were openly plotting and planning my assassination.'

Murals and stained glass windows of Jesus are a “gross form of white supremacy” and “should all come down,” says non-black leftist Shaun King. “All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down. They are a gross form of white supremacy. Created as tools of oppression. Racist propaganda. They should all come down.” That was a June 22 tweet from Shaun King, and the “far-left activist,” wasn’t done. “Yes I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a...

Boston and Dallas have one each. New York City has not one, but two Malcolm X boulevards, along with a playground. Washington D.C. has Malcolm X Avenue. The Los Angeles City Council renamed the intersection near the Bilal Islamic Center, Malcolm X Way. These are a few of the hundreds of streets, schools, and assorted other civic infrastructure named after the black supremacist leader who worked together with the KKK and the American Nazi Party.

How’s this for irony? Shaun King, outspoken anarchist for domestic terror group Black Lives Matter, has a white father and a white mother, but likes to pretend that he is a black man. Childhood photos show him to be a ginger-haired, freckled-faced white kid. But yesterday, incensed over the fact that there are Christian statues and images that depict Jesus Christ as a white man, demanded they must all come down and be destroyed because they are symbols of white supremacy. It doesn’t get any more ironic than that. Shaun King since 2015 has raised millions of dollars in the...

Far-left activist Shaun King on Monday said all images depicting Jesus as a “white European” should be torn down because they are a form of “white supremacy.” King made his remarks over a series of Twitter posts as historic monuments and statues have become the targets of anger and vandalism during Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death while in police custody late last month. “Yes I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been,” King tweeted. “In the...
