DeRay McKesson, one of the most vocal activists in the Black Lives Matter movement, called out transracial activist Shaun King (left) for fraudulent fundraising.
McKesson slammed King’s recently released fundraising report, in which King attempted to explain where millions of BLM fundraising dollars went.
King, a Caucasian man who claims to be Black, released the report after months of accusations that he spent the cash on lavish vacations and living expenses.
McKesson discredited the report, claiming it was not independent.
In an op-ed for Medium.com titled “On Shaun King,” McKesson said King’s lack of integrity within the activism community was “so glaring that to be silent is to be complicit.”
He specifically focused on King’s “fundraising efforts” that usually ends with the money vanishing down a black hole.
“Shaun has followed a uniform pattern over the years, a pattern that has compelled me to speak up, again,” he wrote.
“It is important to note that Shaun’s journalism has done some good by bringing attention to stories that may have gone under-reported or overlooked. But the person who paints your house before he steals your car has still committed theft.”
He continued:
“I tried previously to engage offline to resolve these tensions, but his behaviors did not change. There is a formula that he employs when people ask questions or highlight contradictions: issue an unconditional denial, attack the character of the person asking questions, argue that white supremacists are attacking him or his family, respond only to the least salient of all points raised, then issue a statement akin to an apology.”
McKesson notes that King often “bullies and intimidates” Black women – his most vocal critics – to scare them into silence.
McKesson suggests that many of King’s Black supporters decline to question the facts because they can’t admit they’ve been duped by a con artist.
“I have seen many people, against their better judgment, defend Shaun. I know because I was once one of those people. We are all apt to defend own decision-making, especially about people. But the love for our people must be greater than the love of any one person. Shaun has continued to thrive because many people cannot believe that they have been duped, used, or taken advantage of.”
transracial????? https://media2.giphy.com/media/xTk9Zxw5LoEOuCLCQE/giphy.gif
aren’t they all (or haven’t they all) been viewed as conducting their corners of the movement with certain shadiness thereby attached to their work? er, lifestyle? er, state of being? er, existence?
Happy Friday, Roses!
So you want people to turn against Sean ????? The very thing you are claiming you’re actually doing …….. you can’t control who folks admire …. nor can you get mad ……… folks like who they like …. and support who they damn …….. What is this shyt Sandra https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7ef12b51db9d80cb3921f067fbdb87e1bb2bd9ebe3df2611bc6342b3869872a5.gif You know what don’t answer … I have my own damn answer (shyt slanging and a smear campaign) Sick of folks …. Let me take care and watch my marathons on netflix …. I ain’t got time for no fights bout some BS (Distractions)
That sounds just as confusing as “cablasian”.
This is by far some stupid shyt …… Stupid
I think Deray mad cause he didn’t get invited to the Diamond Ball…Rihanna paid him in dust and “honored” Shaun who IS passing for black…I dont care how much Begin hair dye he put on his head and pencil mustache his parents are white and his brother is white…Chile…
Who ARE these people? https://media3.giphy.com/media/KDsn0xnSI3wQHxt1k1/giphy.gif
Could be.
Could be not.
Most likely is.
Both are social media whores. They crave fame and attention and are not for the people. They are props!
Transracial? Man wtf…. Im sick of people and the new bs!!
IMO, his statements were cogent and valid. I don’t know much about Shun King, so I was completely unaware of the controversy and accusations surrounding him. I looked at the fundraising report he released and it is extremely misleading. He takes credit for a lot of fundraisers that he had little to no meaningful participation in beyond re-tweets. Also, the majority of the money raised did NOT go to BLM, but to immigration related initiatives/organizations/charities. Nevertheless, the diagrams and whatnot would suggest otherwise.
Most people will not care and this will go over their heads. But, this is a problem. His notoriety is wholly due to his self-appointed role as a BLM activists. The BLM movement was created and subsequently driven by black women, but most associate BLM with Shun King. If he is in fact bullying and intimidating actual black women and men in the movement, I am not sure how anyone can choose to overlook that. If he is ostensibly an activist for BLM, but the majority of his efforts are directed towards immigration. That is a problem.
Just as confusing as being heterosexual but attracted to men that dress like women. Just fkup .
????
Lissen it is getting more bizarre by the day. I am trans wealthy I wonder if I can go to the Rangerover dealership and just pick up my truck with that title
Deep
Please don’t conjure up Malik with his BS this morning
Black people stay getting “duped” that is why we never come together.? that whole movement was fraudulent. Shaun king will be in jail in the next 10 years if they ever decide to investigate.
Fraudulent fundraising

Sounds like he fits perfectly into the diamond ball scams of Fenty/Rocnation

Lmfao
Lmao.. It’s still early in the day. We may yet get a story about him.
Really DeRay McKesson needs to STFU, bc from my understanding he a scammer too. Its not okay for YOU to do it just BECAUSE YOU ARE BLACK. You mad at Shaun and calling him out like your plate is clean.
Please fukkin STOP. BOTH of yall.
This reminds me of Jay-Z and Tidal when basically he was like black folks should allow him to overcharge them for crappy music streaming— bc he was black…bc all the other entities for such a service are owned by the white man.
Umm scamming is NEVER okay?
?. I’m sorry.
?????
A lot of black people aren’t black at all.lol.
They were duped by their insolent grandparents into saying they are “black” , never seen Africa much less arrived here in chains so I guess blacks being duped is full circle in our lifetimes.
Both are social media whores
Both are social media whores
Both are social media whores
THIS SHIT
YES
And happy Friday to you too babes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! DeRay & BLM received over $100 mil from Soros with the proviso that the REAL focus of the BLM movement would be on promoting gay and trans issues ( just look at their website and leader profiles), and NEVER on strengthening the nuclear black family, with BLACK FATHERS present and involved
You know it ashy lips and all.
The hoteps and new black Panthers disassociated with DeRay cause he’s gay but a passionate leader. Now we have a FAKE BLACK MAN race pimping his way into our history books. If y’all haven’t done y’all homework on Shaun I suggest you do and stop cape-ing for this white boy.
Google talcum x. No different than racial dolezal. He took opportunities meant for OUR black sons.
MI DEAD SIS!! PWAHAHAH!
Starting early this morning Eh Sis?
???
lol @ Paid him DUST. HAHAHA. That man is Biracial for sure. Look at his High School Pics. MOMMAS BABY, DADDY’S MAYBE for SURE. Homegirl got her some Black MEAT cause he is mixed. I can clearly see it. Most Mixies know others when they see it. not unless the pappy was Hispanic but he NOT CLEAR WHITE (Pure) that’s for surrah.
What is Transracial? Smh….
So where the money? and that man look black, my brother in law is black married to a Ecuadorian and he looks Hispanic but his grafather is white and my husband is just as brown as Will smith, they have the same mother and father
Right Where the money at?
A mental illness.
He might look it but he isn’t
Rachel Dolezal brother lol
NC has a long time judge turned US Representative that looks very extra white. He is a black man. GK Butterfield. It happens. I dont think Shaun is black tho
Anyone that believed this man was white deserved to be robbed blind. I have no f****cks to give about any of this. When you know better, you do better.
Happy Friday
https://media3.giphy.com/media/29HRejgahYenVsohB5/giphy.gif I had said that once lol til I met the daddy, the white man was his mother father though lol
Rachel Dolezal brother lol
Nah lol. Mr. Butterfield about 75 years old bless his heart.
Both Mckesson and Shaun King are clowns.
They are both paid operatives, jockeying for position for the White puppet masters..Shaun King is a White man pretending to be Black while at the same time profiting off the struggle of the ancestors.
DeRay McKesson is a gay man which makes him the choice to lead Blacks that NEED A LEADER…According to many in Ferguson, he was a plant!
I had to google this man and I was like WOWWWW!!! He white, but both is parents is biracial so the white was bound to come out somewhere
Who really look to these people for leadership???
https://media0.giphy.com/media/vx2TEehV5kUotQcZHj/giphy.gif
What you watching sis on Netflix???
Pot calling kettle. The battle for those butter biscuits is on. I think the people of Ferguson would say the same about the opportunist deray. None of them are really grassroots anyway. Sambo and white zaddy funded social engineers and agent provacateurs.
We can never concentrate or unite on the real fight because we’re so busy fighting ourselves..
His daughter is now married to a retired NBA player…Dhantay Jones. But she was engaged to The Game at one time. Valeshia Butterfield. I love their family as a whole tho. Means a lot to NC bc Rep. Butterfield has done A LOT for civil rights here. Tirelessly.
Shaun King…hmmm…I think it was on here that someone made some comments about this snake oil peddler that made me start googling and researching him.
Wasn’t that hard to find out some suspicious shit about him.
On his birth certificate, his father is listed as a white man, the same white man who is his brother’s father. Shaun denied this, of course stating his mother had an affair with a black man. NONE of his family have confirmed this.
His baby pics and kid pics show him as a white child. Nothing about him looked mixed. In fairness, I have folks (as we all do) in my family as children who could “pass” and when they grow up, their complexion and features come in but this dude – like a lot of whites when they’re young- had light hair and white skin.
He also REFUSES to take a DNA ancestry test to prove he has any African roots.
Shaun also claimed that he got beat up by a bunch of white supremacists and even posted pics of himself all messed up BUT HIS FAMILY SAID that was a lie and that he got into a car accident. The only time he got into it with whites was in school but it was not over his race, smh.
I have also heard about him bullying black women as well……so I mean….where’s the lie being told by Deray? I am seriously asking.
It’s under the same umbrella as any “trans” delusional sickness….
I was watching some show called the elite … but now I decided to watch the TWD again before the season premier
He looks black to me. He looks more black than many of my family member that I know for sure are black. Lol
Now, I’m regards to him being a con artist… I was someone that signed up when he said he was going to bring back the newspaper (I can’t remember the name and don’t have the time to look right now) and saw that turn into a podcast. Like, I really don’t understand why he needed so many financial contributions to start a podcast. (He could’ve just started one and then got advertisers, right?}. Well, next thing I know he was emailing me about some other ish he was starting and needed contributions for. Then, I feel like there was one more. It’s all really suspicious and I’m glad I never contributed. I ended up finally unsubscribing to his emails when he came for Jay.
Deray need retire that planet of the apes blue vest lmaooooo. But I see no lies in what he is saying https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/296140f0a77607767dfba319f82526ea7a625f4d20c45717ac986c486bd5635b.jpg
No the white devils are too busy trying to make a living off of our predicament. Martin Luther Kream is a cave demon culture vulture.
Hiw are you black and your white mama and daddy telling you you are white. He is the male version of Rachel Doziel.
You try if you want because I would never want to understand crazy. Pretty soon they will be telling us that the voices people her in thier heads are real.
Fucboi fall is in season. Let the efferey commence because I got time today
I said he was her lil brother
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4b0e3b8201e12a70cde7336b63777077c0def881d05b1b39eee18595bb1ee73d.jpg
I’ve been binge watching SNOWFALL ( I know I’m late…but a GREAT watch)
Love the comment but he is white.. this man damn near faked a Ancestry test to his flock to “prove it”…there is an article published thats available online which had interviews from his family including his bio brother…”congratulations” on being “mixed”??? (even though we all are in some form) but I go with facts and articles I’ve read…
If he stealing from folks ‘His Black Life Won’t Matter”
No blacks disassociated from DeRay because he’s a also a fraud. Selling books about Ferguson when he did nothing in Ferguson while living in a white billionaires million dollar home.
Black activism is a joke. It’s about who can get money donated to them so that they can live a lavish lifestyle while claiming to fight people in power living a lavish lifestyle.

Time you’ll use to spread more lies, no doubt.
Talcum X…has been shady and suspect but so is DeRay…
BINGO!!!
What does him being gay have to do with any of this? The rest of your points may be valid, but where did that come from?
I don’t even think it’s mental illness…just opportunism. Another con to divert $ and opportunities away from the black community.
What in the psychobabble?!!!?
Talcum X?!????????
ITA. They are both shady. DeRay is just mad because no one is checking for him anymore.
https://media0.giphy.com/media/tzmY5mdweFu6Y/giphy.gif
Good day fucboi right on que
You never disappoint.
LMAO! OK?!
Omggg at TalcumX????
‘TRANSRACIAL’ tho! LOLOLOL….Sandra got jokes.! hahah
Transracial is when a couple adopts a child from a different race. It has nothing to do with thinking you’re a different race.
Folks, I think we are now finally seeing the beginning of the end for the “FAKE OUTRAGE, SOCIAL media JUSTICE WARRIOR, CUBICLE REVOLUTIONARY ERA.
In that order…
Unfortunately, most of these “woke/activist” are fake and full of sh*t.
He looks more black than many of my family member that I know for sure are black.
**********************
THIS!! The first time I saw his photo after the “is he or is he not” debate, I thought he looked mixed and said the exact same thing about family members.
Tom Joyner endorses Shaun, so I’m assuming he’s on the up & up.
Got it, thank you!
Both of them
Yes both lol except one is really black ??
He ever did one of those ancestral DNA test????
Oh wow. He does look yt. But if you look at him closely, somewhere in the eye/nose area, you see a lil sumthin that disrupts the “whiteness”. Cant pinpoint what it is…but its there.
?
I stopped following Shaun because he kept pushing the agenda for registered sex offerers to get a break. I looked at the people he was advocating for and they weren’t just caught like peeing in a park for instance, they were sick criminals, and he’s advocating for them based on them being black. This is why I do not care for Shaun King anymore really.
He doesn’t look any blacker than Rachel Dolezol did and she got banished and dismissed. He gets a transracial pass because he’s a man. I had put it to the back of my mind for a while too, not anymore.
I don’t get involved with any of those males because anything that says “black power “or “black peoples empowerment “it’s strictly for black males.
He tried to come for me on here for my views on The Democratic Party… Didn’t workout to great for him?????
Why was y’all following these folks… ??. Ohhhh they steal others words on here and pretend like it’s them but their empty. They highjacked the black lives matter treyvon martin conversation from a Fox blog from a conservative blogger that wrote so eloquently about the case and conflict…. and then created a fake movement and made it liberal and all inclusive and pointless. They all got paid from others on the net shit giving them no acknowledgement.
He refuses to
??no way!! U would think he would run to do that to prove it to everyone
he does not look black he looks mexican
cuz he knows he’s a fraud thats why he wont do it. it will be the ultimate proof.
I’m trans-skinny but they still look at me crazy when I go into Victoria Secrets and ask for a size small then head to the dressing room!
DeRay McKesson’s usless ass, who I might add, also says “right” after every statement is only salty because Rihanna honored Shaun and not him. DeRay should go ahead and ride into the sunset with his white boyfriend, as they continue to cash those checks for him doing absolutely nothing.
I totally agree with you. DeRay is only calling out Shaun because he wants some attention.
Exactly!!! He and his dusty ass vest should go on somewhere. Remember when he kicked up all that dust and said that movie was copying his style because the lead character was wearing a vest. LMAO!
Yep, I see it too and I agree he looks mixed.
Has anyone ever challenged Shaun to do an DNA test?
Wow! I had no idea he was an immigration advocate, that’s a huge problem and a conflict of interest.
You always disappoint.
In true fucboi fashion you just love to entertain bs
I don’t know either of these men, but the Shaun dude looks like my ex husband ( complexion wise, hair , slight features, and he is( my ex husband) 100% black with red hair and freckles. I try to stray from guessing ones DNA, because us people of color come in many shades.
After you were born your parents accused the OB/GYN of switching babies.
Once again…i hereby relate and identify ass a helicopter, and to not address me as such means you’re anti chopper. Let it sink, realize how dumb i sound, now fuck u lbgtys or whatever tf
Yup
Truth
You Always Keep It Real Auntie. That’s Why I Come Here. I Know You Gone Keep It Solid. ?
Lol, ask ur grandparents child. Mine sure made sure I knew the facts. While the rest of y’all cant figure out why the u.s. treat u like slave property
No, he doesn’t. Mexicans are much darker than him generally. He looks like many a light-skin black men.
He looks like that naturally whereas Rachel creates her appearance.
I’m always like where do they see a white man?! Must not have a lot of variations in their families to think that. Lol
He looks like that naturally? You don’t think he’s doing anything to make himself look like a black man?
I think they are both frauds one white and the other black…. This can be a movie… “Ebony and Ivory” …..the tale of two fake azz scuzz bucket con artist that rely on my people to suck the generosity and unfair lifestyle out of us…..meet fall in luv (because they have the propensity to do that) and come up with the master scheme to annihilate the whole race while glazing each others donut…. ?
Chile…he’s such a queen its ridiculous…
Thanks, hun. ?
I live in cali so i see mexicans all the time and most here are light
I live in LA and no they aren’t.
we will agree to disagree then
We can agree you don’t know many Mexicans. Lol
nope thats you who doesn’t know them sweets. i dont agree with you and thats that. get over it. Good day.
You’re the one that sounds like you need to get over it. Most people, especially ones in LA and the West Coast know how dark Mexicans are. I’ve rarely met a Mexican that’s as light as me and I’m not THAT light. Good day,
