Shaun King Controversy

Controversy has followed Shaun King around for all his life. Because he is black skinned and his father is white, they all claimed that the man he claimed was his father couldn’t be. King says it is sad that most of his personal information has been forced out to the public, as well as his past has been opened up, including who he has been sexually active with, as well as his criminal/imprisonment record. "Never have I once identified myself as white. Not on forms, not for convenience or privilege, and not for fun and games, have I ever identified myself as white. I was never a white guy pretending to be black. Not once, ever, did it occur to me that I was being phony or fraudulent or fake.” King received a scholarship from a school, Morehouse college, which was later canceled because of one of his spinal surgeries. King said he was beaten by a "racist mob of rednecks" so badly that he missed almost two years of high school and college while recovering from fractures to his face and ribs as well as severe injuries to his spine. King also lost his scholarship because of ongoing spinal surgeries. The Black Lives Matter Movement was scared that its reputation would be discredited because King was not fully black. Ultimately, race matters too much in this country. Why does it matter what color skin we are? Shouldn't we all just see each other the same, with the same opportunites, same people, and same country. We are all Americans, doesn't matter if we're black or white. We are all Americans, even though the world hasn't accepted this yet.
