    What was or wasn't done to his mother was done by King, not Breitbart.

    Yeah, that cotton swab in the mouth is major fucking surgery.

    Back in the days I had a beard, some of the hairs were red. #IAmBlackAndMyLifeNowMatters

    Hair dye does a wonderful job.

    This story really got dropped like a hot potato.

    King says his birth certificate is wrong, and that some unknown "light skinned" black man is his father, and the whole story is over.

    And, besides, his race doesn't matter anyway:

    Shaun King seems to come from a complicated family history, riddled with questions that may not have tightly-woven or clean-cut answers. Many people share that experience. He claims to be biracial, and some people don’t believe him. The truth is that his parentage is entirely inconsequential; what matters is the issues that he has raised. For those who continue to ask what impact his blackness or whiteness has on Black Lives Matter: There is none.

    Come on, tony. Even you must realize he wasn't talking about it being physically invasive.

    King claims he was attacked in 1995 when he was a 15-year-old freshman (he was born in 79, so we would be 15 at the end of his freshman year and turn 16 during his sophomore year).

    Yet, in the photo he attached with his "Race, love, hate, and me: A distinctly American story" article, King claims he was a FOURTEEN year old SOPHOMORE.

    From 15-year-old freshman to 14-year-old sophomore.

    WTF?

    Outing alert: Former coworker of mine (and current coworker of KySportsWriter) was born and raised in Versailles/Woodford County. Couple years behind Shaun King, but went to school with him. Coworker said as he grew up, you could tell King was biracial. Gonna try to see if coworker kept his yearbooks.
