On Thursday, King’s wife Rai posted an emotional post on Facebook defending her husband, who has always maintained he was born from a white mother and black father. Does it really matter what race he is, considering everything the activist has done for the Black Lives Matter movement? However, he did not directly dispute the websites’ assertions that his father and mother are white.

Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King (pictured right with his family) claims to be biracial, but he’s accused of lying about his race. Dolezal resigned in June after her parents revealed that she is white, though she identifies as being black. “He’s no Rachel Dolezal“.
“For over a year now we have faced death threats so severe that I have all but discontinued social media and now go to great lengths to hide my location and the location of our children”.
His place of birth is reportedly listed as Versailles, Kentucky – where only one Jeffery Wayne King apparently lives in the entire state. In a series of numbered tweets that reach up to 36, King defended himself and expressed his feelings. Dolezal, who once sued Howard University, a historically black college in Washington, D.C., for racial discrimination and was outed by her white parents as someone passing herself off as an African-American woman, said she identifies as being black.
The article raised questions about King’s story that he was mistreated while in Woodford County, including a story about him being beaten by a mob of students while they were in high school. The Oprah Winfrey Endowed Scholarship Fund, established in 1989 by the daytime television icon, has help more than 400 people attend Morehouse College and earn a degree from the prestigious college for men.
“Shaun King has bullied other blacks – conservatives blacks – who don’t share 100% of his political views”.
King’s high school attack was racial, said CNN’s Lemon, citing King’s “family member”, but it wasn’t a hate crime.
“You’d be hard pressed to find anyone more sincerely dedicated to the cause of justice in this country than him-even when his own wellbeing is at stake”, she said.

“He is now the number one trending topic in the world and everything his attackers are saying is a stone cold lie”, the post said.
