If Shaun King Is Really White Then These Past Tweets Are REALLY WEIRD

For a few weeks now there has been a topic of debate online about whether Shaun King, the outspoken “black lives matter” activist, is a FAKE black guy. Today the story BLEW UP with new accusations.

And if they’re right, and he really is white, then this tweet about his half black son seems a little… awkward:

Every time we take an out of town vacation, my baby son gets his days and nights mixed up. He is in full blown monkey on steroids mode. — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) May 26, 2008

Hmmm. Seems problematic, even if he were actually mixed and his son was 3/4 black. The math is getting difficult.

Then there’s this one:

I kid you not, I remember being in first grade and having a group of black girls in my school come up to me and ask me if I was "mixed". — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) March 18, 2015

Is he denying it here? No clue. In any case, now he’s absolutely declaring that he’s biracial. And he’s denying the new facts that have been brought to light by conservative websites about his race. Channelling Hillary, he says that it’s obviously a vast right-wing white supremacist conspiracy!

I won’t post all the tweets because they’re kinda boring actually, but you can read them all on his timeline, if you’re interested. Here are the relevant details:

The Blaze piece says that a racial attack on Shaun King as a teenager that he mentions often is disputed by the police report and some witnesses:

…three of the statements provided to police indicate the assault was over a dispute King had with a girl. The girl, whom TheBlaze has chosen not to name because she too was a minor at the time of incident, told authorities that the fight was a result of King confronting her over $8 she allegedly owed him after knocking over his bag and breaking a CD two weeks prior. She said King initially told her she wouldn’t have to pay him back because it was an accident, but that two weeks later, he confronted her and asked for the money immediately.

The assailant, the girl’s ex-boyfriend, told police the incident stemmed from King demanding the money. Another individual made the same claim.

“The reason I hit Shawn [sic] is because he pushed my x-girlfriend up against the wall yesterday and threatened to break her neck over $8 dollars she owed him and I care for her and she was scared yesterday because she thought he was going to hurt her and I didn’t want to see her get hurt,” the assailant, who was cited with fourth-degree assault, told police. “I know it was wrong but I couldn’t stand him threatening a girl like that.”

Shaun King denies the claims, but the importance of getting the facts straight on this is that he claims it was a racial attack, while the witnesses say race had nothing to do with it.

I noticed a while back that he often describes himself as a “thug” when he was younger – this fits the character of a person who would attack a girl for owing him money, not the characterization he gives of himself being a nice, innocent, biracial kid who was attacked by racists:

I'm @ Champs Roller Skating rink. Last time I was here I was 15 y/o, had 3 girlfriends, a pistol & thought I was a thug w/ @YOUNGCHU #change — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) September 4, 2012

When I was in high school I carried a gun, went on drug runs, stole worse than cigars. Went to college and became a pastor. Am I a thug? — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) August 25, 2014

Anybody who knew me when I was Mike Brown's age like @DeacTheVillain or @YOUNGCHU will tell you I carried a gun & did thug shit. I grew up. — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) September 5, 2014

But IF he is not mixed, and full white, then that means he lied to get into Morehouse College, a historically black school, and also lied to the African-American divinity Oprah Winfrey!!

You in trouble now, King:

30. 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. — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) August 19, 2015

31. Every single person who knows me BEYOND Twitter, beyond trending topics and HIT PIECES, knows I have never lied about my race. — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) August 19, 2015

Notice – he doesn’t really say what he IS, just what people know him AS. Kinda weird, huh?

He prattles on and on about some white supremacist conspiracy, but then The Daily Beast drops this BOMB and Nakasakis him:

Prominent Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King said for years that he is biracial, because he was born to a white mother and a black father, but Kentucky public records reviewed by The Daily Beast show that King’s father is white. Jeffery Wayne King, born Nov. 11, 1955, is listed as Shaun King’s father on his birth certificate. Criminal records identify Jeffrey King’s ethnicity as white. After Breitbart News questioned King’s race, the activist tweeted that he “did not concoct a lie” about his race.

Uh oh!! Is Shaun King the male Rachel Dolezal?!?

33. Not only that, but the truth is that @GlennBeck & @TheBlaze & Breitbart DON'T GIVE A SHIT about my race. They just want me to shut up. — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) August 19, 2015

I bet this story is just beginning!! Maybe he’ll end up braiding hair just like his faker female counterpart Rachel Dolezal! LOL!!
