Shaun King

I recently read an article about Shaun King and his influence in the movement, "Black Lives Matter". He was one of the main people advertising and trying to make a difference. After many years of oppression, many different Shaun King talked about his experiences and how  black people have had to overcome. However, Shaun King was not biologically black. He was told that he was African-American at a young age, but later in his life figured out he wasn't. King was criticized for lying and he responded with some tweets saying, "First off, the key facts about my biological relatives are all wrong. They tried, but my family, like many of yours, is one big mess". I think that even if you aren't biologically black, you should still be able to be apart of the movement. Oppression occurs everywhere, and if people are influenced by others actions, then let them be part of the movement. All humans are born the same. The only thing that seems to separate us is our different experiences in our lives and our thoughts towards different aspects.
