| Shaun King got the name Talcum X because he's masquerading as a light skin Black man. In reality he is born to two white parents. He doesn't even represent Black Lives Matter but they give him the limelight. |
It took a while for me to understand what people were saying about King and DeRay McKesson.
Had I known what I've known about them five years ago, I would have never followed their causes or donated to their activism.
What really got me upset with King was is deliberate attempts to undermine the Democratic Party's candidates for president.
King is a die-hard supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). His support of Sanders was well-known and it has caused a huge rift between him and his former allies. Many progressives felt that Bernie Bros were deliberately sabotaging Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Beto O'Rourke, Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden.
King was front and center in this.
King is considered a grifter and fraud among many Black activists. They believe that he is trying to boost his ego by sharing videos of Black pain for profit. The Daily Beast had written an article chronicling his fundraising and his attempts to build companies only for them to not succeed. The article said that money allocated to King isn't being documented. Some believe that these "call to actions" are a scam to help King pocket millions while not accomplishing anything.
So far, King's tentacles are wrapped around many events in Black justice. He is encouraging doxxing of dirty cops, white people screaming at people of color and the toppling of statues.
He is even blowing his smoke on the Democratic Party because they chose Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders. He was just recently complaining about Barack Obama's plans on police reform.
He also complaining about Democratic-running cities being the places where police brutality run,
And of course those statues of Jesus of the Nazzerth. The grifter wants all references to White Jesus removed and it triggered white extremists.
A private Facebook group of law enforcement officers is literally plotting to kill me.— Shaun King (@shaunking) June 25, 2020

King said in a Medium post Thursday that members of a law enforcement group on Facebook were plotting to kill him. Now, the Long Beach Police Department in California is investigating, saying that among the former officers identified by King were several from Long Beach.
"Today, the Long Beach Police Department was made aware of incredibly distributing social media messages that were posted from personal Facebook accounts to a Private Facebook Group," the department said Thursday in a statement. "The posts included potential threats of violence directed towards activist and journalist Shaun King. The article identified former law enforcement officers including three from Long Beach."
In his piece published on Medium, King said a friend on Tuesday told him about the Facebook group for California law enforcement officers in which members were "openly plotting and planning my assassination."
"Sadly, I receive death threats daily," wrote King, a writer and activist who often promotes Black Lives Matter on social media. "It's been that way for years... We take them all seriously, but what we found in this private Facebook group is altogether different. These were men and women, in a private group that they had no idea I'd ever see them, using their real names and identities, openly plotting to kill me and organizing each other to execute it."
He also shared that portion of his Medium post on Instagram, where he has 3.5 million followers.
CBS Los Angeles reports the Long Beach Police Department said it was "appalled and deeply disturbed" by the posts, which King said were started by a retired Long Beach Police officer.
"I think (California) needs to start putting a team together or retired military, police and NRA MEMBERS! We have no protection. These criminals that the Democrats created need to be stopped," the retired officer's post allegedly read.
"Toss this guy from a helicopter," another comment allegedly read. Another said, "Shaun King needs to be put down."
The Long Beach Police Department said it has passed the information about the posts to its investigations bureau for "review and recommendations regarding a criminal investigation," and that the FBI will be assisting.
"We are 100% committed to working in partnership with our community to ensure that all people are treated with respect and professionalism and will not tolerate any bias, racism or threats to individuals," LBPD said in a statement, CBS Los Angeles reported.
Folks, listen to Black women. They tell the truth about Shaun King. Many Black women who used to work for him and support him felt betrayed by his antics. The warn people to stop giving him money and a platform.
Now that he's the victim of death threats, his supporters now will call him a martyr to their cause.
Like Tara Reade, this fraud will be exposed and shamed. It will take some time but it will happen.
Please do not use the services of Shaun King. I am close to saying that you may want to avoid the services of S. Lee Merritt as well.
