Black Lives Matter Director is another pretend black
2015-08-19
An investigative blogger has accused Shaun King, a key figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, of misleading media icon Oprah Winfrey by pretending to be biracial in order to qualify for an "Oprah scholarship" to historically black Morehouse College. The blogger says King is white and has been lying about his ethnicity for years.

King is a high-profile campaigner against "police brutality" and "justice correspondent" for the liberal Daily Kos website who told Rebel magazine in 2012 that he was biracial, with the magazine reporting that he is the "son of a Caucasian mother and an African-American father." He has also described himself as "mixed with a black family" on Twitter.

King has been lionised by the press, praised as hero of civil rights and social activism. He has written extensively about a childhood in which he was terrorised by "decades old racial tensions." He claims to have been "the focus of constant abuse of the resident rednecks of my school."

#12  Not much difference between this and Elizabeth Warren (aka Big Lying Squaw) who claimed to be native american in order to get into Harvard. The tribe she claimed had never heard of her.

#6  Darth, it's worse than that. A white man pretends to be black and then works on project to get the police out of urban areas which will increase the crime rate. He is doing more damage than the klan.

#2  The government has created this situation of faux blacks. They want to collect the boodle that goes along with being black (or some other minority but mostly black).

#1  Seems to be a common theme among the black "leadership".
