During a segment on #BlackLivesMatters activist Shaun King and the allegation he isn’t black at all, CNN host Don Lemon revealed that he had spoken to a family member of King’s who confirmed he was white.

“A family member tells CNN that both of King’s parents are white,”Lemon said on Wednesday night’s edition of CNN Tonight.


quote:

Lemon also revealed that he had a conversation with King about his racial identity. “Initially he did not answer but later referred to himself as biracial,” he said. “But then when I asked him if that’s what it shows on his birth certificate I did not hear back from him. No answer on that.”

Lily-white was an anti-civil-rights movement within the GOP years ago

Self identification is becoming a strange part of life.



Everyone thought Jame Gumb "Buffalo Bill" was a creep at one point, now we are learning he was a fricking pioneer.

I'm okay with people being transracial. However, the Black Lives Matter movement isn't okay with it considering how they treated Rachel Dolezal.

How is lily white Shaun King any different than lily white Rachel Dolezal?

Answer: He isn't...except he is a man. Therefore, can we assume that the Black Lives Matter movement not only is anti-white but also anti-woman? If so, does that make BLM a ghay movement?

Sure is. And it's all fun and games until I try to tell scholarship boards that I'm a Native American female.
