Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King is at the center of a controversy that has nothing to do with a police shooting or brutality. Instead, it’s about his personal life and racial identity.
Media outlets have published multiple pieces disputing different claims Shaun King has made about his life over the years. The latest accusations have called into question whether Shaun King is Black. Or if he’s even biracial. This forced the activist to disclose personal details about his life in hopes of disproving the accusations.
Black Lives Matter
Shaun King has been a prominent face of the Black Lives Matter movement since the police shooting of Mike Brown.
It has been stated that Shaun King is not Black or biracial. Reports have cited a birth certificate obtained from the Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics. This certificate states Shaun King is white. It also lists King’s father as Jeffery Wayne King, who is white.
After the accusations went viral, CNN’s Don Lemon reported that a “family member” told CNN that Shaun King’s parents are both white.
At first, Shaun King fired back at the accusations on Twitter, saying that he is biracial and has a complicated family history. He also claimed that he didn’t lie about his race to obtain an Oprah Scholarship to attend Morehouse College, a historically black school.
However, Shaun King later wrote in a Facebook post that his father is not a Black man but in fact a biracial man. Which would in fact make Shaun King a quarter Black and not half Black as he has stated many times before.
So this brings into question the one drop rule which was created by white supremacists to label the offspring of biracial slaves and their white slave masters as Black.
Let me know your thoughts in the comment section based on this video.
Hmmm….Now they promote the interracial love for money. My god when it can be conveniently monetized they will do it. My poor grammy is half black, 1/4 Irish 1/4 Native…..and looks Korean. This is the future they are promoting but Im not sure if they have thought that far ahead on how to monetize that. But they also want our genetics because their genes are garbage. Because we ourselves are a gold mine….Its really confusing and exhausting to think about. My god its hard being black…..and non blacks want it so bad….but can’t handle it…..Okay Im making myself migraine-ish now.
What is really disturbing, is the fact that there are black peopled who co-sign the one drop rule. People like this open the door for pseudo black people to come into our community and gain access to opportunities, fame, and fortune. Sean King epitomizes all of the above. This clown knows nothing about the black experience and yet, he’s the face of BLM. It is such a shame when some of our people cannot identify another black person and ready to claim anyone if they have a pinch of tan, a slight kink in their hair, or any other feature that is reminiscent of African ancestry.
You said a lot in a little amount of time. You broke it down so clearly and used great analogies. This is a video to make you aware and to definitely teach you to not always believe what you see.
What about Meghan Markle? Yeah she is biracial and talks about her Black mother, but it is clear to me she hankers to be white. Only dating white men – majority of her friends circle are white – seems to want to be white IMO. I do not even class her as biracial even though she is. I just see her as a woman passing for white.
Okay now. I am Angela Bassett’s complexion. My paternal great grandfather was a white Italian, hence, my last name Queen. So this means I am one quarter white? But I could never say I’m white like Shaun King could never say he is Black with one quarter Black lineage. Furthermore, I don’t look white like Shaun King doesn’t look Black. If this makes any sense.
I did my DNA test and I have 5.2% european in me. This clearly dosn’t make me white, the majority of me is African which is 94.1%. This makes almost entirely African, I think this video was helpful because some our people say that biracal brothers and sisters are not black but shuan king is. I know the features can be deceiving but shaun king isn’t one of us peace.
I’ve been hearing here and there of white people who are the head of black organizations, and it makes me sick to my stomach. I’m also disgusted with the black people who encourage and approve of being represented by people who haven’t the slightest clue about the black experience. When I see black people accepting these posers and treating them like family, I’m livid and embarrassed. It’s incredibly embarrassing to see such a thing…and then here comes black and non-black people racing to the defense of these white leaders, saying dumbass drivel like, “race doesn’t matter”. How the hell does race not matter? How on earth can you(Shaun King) lead people that you don’t understand?? There’s a reason why certain races look the way they do, it’s because we’re made up of different stuff. Black people are genetically different from everyone else. Our genetics produce an appearance that we label as “black”.
Also, we have different natures according to our genetic makeup, psychology etc. To ignore “race” is to ignore the different natures of people. That’s like putting a sea lion and a killer whale in the tank and thinking, “it doesn’t matter, they’re both sea mammals” and then getting surprised when the killer whale eats the sea lion. Killer whales eat sea lions, but because the nature of the killer whale was ignored, the sea lion got killed. Black people ignorantly keep ignoring the nature of white people, and continuously get surprised when they keep getting screwed over and/or killed. I feel like one of the reasons that black people ignore this is because we don’t want to admit that things really are that bad. We want to believe that there are people that we can count on, when that is NOT the case. The sooner we realize that it’s us vs everyone else, the better.
This whole “we are all the same”, is not only stupid and incorrect, but self-hating blk ppl are using it to justify their “preference” when it comes to dating/marrying interracially: “it doesn’t matter if I date this person because we’re all human”. Being sexual with someone other than a black person damages and infects the black gene. Not to mention, if we keep diluting our melanin, the black race will go extinct. I really don’t understand the “we are all the same” thing because people will use it when they address fair and unfair treatment, but I have a question: Why do we have to be the same to justify fair treatment? Why can’t we acknowledge our differences and still treat each other with respect? Also, another question…since black people are human, and everyone else is neanderthal hybrid etc…doesn’t that mean that being in an interracial relationship is beastiality?
I wholeheartedly agree with you Angel! Sean king Is a white guy with some black mixed in with him. I have a third generation baby cousin and he is 75% black and 25% white. That is his mother, my second generation cousin, is a black woman and her husband, my third generation cousin’s father, is half black and half white. Looking at my third generation baby cousin one would never tell that he is a quarter Caucasian. He looks completely black.
👉🏿America’s racism & white supremacy really messed up millennial bi-racials.
🔥I grew up around boomer and GenX
bi-racials that never, ever used the term bi-racial…..they were and are Black. They also married Black..only!
🎯🔥 BEWARE
But the biggest enemies are Black racist against Blacks:
Tommy Sotomayor
Candace Owens
Jesse Lee Peterson
Yes brother! Also, I would like to add Kevin Samuels to that list, if I may.
I often hear people make erroneous assumptions about blackness. It happens in France, in Britain and even in the Caribbean. Long before home DNA testing was a thing, the silly exercise of trying to quantify “black blood” by relying on the number of “full black” parents or grandparents you have was done by those who didn’t realize that 1/you don’t always have that information (sometimes you don’t know who your grandparents are in terms of blood quantum) or that 2/ regardless of how many black ancestors you have you may not have inherited the relative percentage of black blood. In many cases, your so-called full black parents are the product of generations of mixed people having kids together. Their parents weren’t white, their grandparents weren’t, their great grandparents weren’t but they were the product of “biracial” great great grandparents on both sides… The descendants may look fully black or look “biracial” or mixed. Only DNA can tell you who is truly black at the end of the day. They didn’t have that when they designed the one drop rule. Now we should know better than to use that ignorant rule to assess anything. It’s great to see you explain things to folks the way you do. People think my kids are biracial (either half white/black or half Japanese or Chinese and black) because of how they look. They’re not. Their dad is like me, descended from a line of mixed enslaved Africans in the Caribbean (with zero white person in our ancestry over at least the past 5 generations).
Sooo…race is a “social construct”, but both Shaun “King” and Rachel “Xerox” Dolezal are “constructing” their own convoluted definition of race…
Like, make it make SENSE honey.
😂 You obviously do NOT understand percentages (or you are just gaslighting for social gain. Either way you’re deadass wrong)
The keyword is BIRACIAL, Bi-i.e. TWO. Tri, Quad, Poly, and everything after that, indicates MANY.
And “trans racial” is excluded entirely from this discussion. That falls under the “Delusinoid” species Angel mentioned in his earlier series of TEDtalks 😂
As I’ve always said, and will continue to say, I support ALL Black lives; including Black people who are Biracial and not only identify with their Black side, but walk proudly in it 🤎
Thank you brother, for always bringing the truth.
Hey Angel and bm family!! Shaun King is a whole white man. Both of his parents are white. He used the transracial biracialness to invade our black spaces for a come up. He was doxed, I saw his birth certificate 🙄 It reads white. He took over the Frederick Douglas grass roots company. We never learn.
