Black Lives Matter activists turned on transracial fraud Shaun King after he organized Justice Together, collected donations, and then abandoned the movement without any explanation.
One former JT member, Chandra Paz, created the Twitter.com hashtag #ShaunKingLetMeDown to call out King for abandoning yet another movement.
Others retweeted the hashtag and a new movement to expose King was born.
The #ShaunKingLetMeDown hashtag got the attention of some in the Black Lives Matters camp who are weary of King starting organizations to promote black injustice when all he really cares about promoting is himself.
**Gets up on soapbox** Ahem. Listen up, beautiful folx. #ShaunKingLetMeDown

Then conscious rapper Talib Kweli jumped in to defend King after former JT director, Crystal tweeted him the hashtag. Kweli started a minor skirmish when he accused former JT members of having “hurt feelings” and “dragging” King on Twitter for no reason.
@TalibKweli I couldn't care less how he communicated. He actually failed to communicate putting all of our professional reputations at risk.

SK is opportunistic. He posts things about his past & about being hated on. His massive amount of followers feel for him #ShaunKingLetMeDown

Lots of self-promotion. Intimidation of dissenting views. Excuses for non-action, no real answers… #ShaunKingLetMeDown

I excused his behavior until I couldnt. SK talks a good game, but he's all about the promotional spin. #ShaunKingLetMeDown

@cjmperspectives u have evidence that says Shaun should be dragged. My evidence tells me different.

@cjmperspectives I'm not saying your claims have no merit. But u haven't convinced me that these crimes are bad enough for public dragging.

@cjmperspectives and starting a hashtag & tweeting at me abt it means you absolutely are trying to convince others he is "preying" on them

@cjmperspectives I see evidence of someone who has tried, & failed, to lead an org. More than once. Not of someone who "lacks integrity."

@cjmperspectives @TalibKweli 24 hrs later w/out any further engagement SK dismantled the JT Slack-that's how you erase 3 mos of hard work

Clearly Kweli is one of the blind and dumb Shaun King followers who shamelessly drink King’s Koolaid.
According to Kweli, it isn’t important if King creates social justice organizations to ask for donations then bounces without any action — as long as King is down for the cause.
