I don't care what color a person is. And a person's color does not have anything to do with whether or not they have the right or the duty to speak out on moral issues.
But for the record, Shaun King is not even past Black. He's White, and he's calling a Black Man an "Uncle Tom", not because what the Black Man says is immoral, but because the Black Man disagrees with the White Man's politics.
Here's the thing: The idea that a person should hold a particular political opinion because of the color of their skin is the very definition of racism. Race has nothing to do with the ideas people have in their heads.
Breitbart.com reported:
Shaun King is indeed white, say family members who confirmed to Breitbart and CNN yesterday that the activist has misled the world about his racial identity.
CNN’s Don Lemon told viewers that he had spoken to a family member who told him King is caucasian.
Breitbart can today add to that confirmation a family member, possibly the same person Lemon spoke to, as well as two childhood acquaintances of King’s who all say he was never considered anything other than white.
Explosively, they suggest that the “hate crime” King claims was perpetrated on him was racially motivated but it didn’t happen because King was black: it happened because he was a white man dating a black girl.
King’s story continues to unravel with over a hundred publications and news channels worldwide covering our Breitbart exclusive.
King went on a long Twitter tirade yesterday to complain about death threats but as of this morning has failed to address the central question of his race.Ladies and Gentlemen, Shaun King:
The Daily Caller reported:
Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke says he’s been called worse than a “sellout” and an “Uncle Tom,” two racially-charged terms that a New York Daily News columnist and Black Lives Matter activist used to describe the black Democrat on Tuesday.
“That crap doesn’t bother me,” Clarke told The Daily Caller in response to columnist Shaun King’s diatribe taking him to task for denying the existence of policy brutality and police racism during a Fox News segment on Monday.
“It’s designed to get me off message,” Clarke said during a phone interview.
