Shaun King Brushes Off Accusations That He Has Lied About His Race

Shaun King has spoken out strongly against the accusations from conservative media personalities that he’s been appropriating a Black identity and lying about an racially motivated assault he sustained as a teenager.

Through an extensive series of Tweets, King stated: “Every single person who knows me BEYOND Twitter, beyond trending topics and HIT PIECES, knows I have never lied about my race…Sadly, several popular conservative websites are saying I made the whole thing up in an attempt to discredit my work to end police brutality in our country…My life may be your trending topic but I live this…Done addressing it.”
