Never mind. I found this: Activist Shaun King addresses race rumors - CNN
I’ll be honest. This is the first I’ve heard of him.
Yes. Wait, I thought he really was a Dolezal? I remember there being quite a bit of controversy about his unknown background and certain documents showing he registered as white instead of black.Anyone remember Rachel Dolezal? I’m not saying that’s the case with him but he brought her to my mind.

I just came across this:Yes. Wait, I thought he really was a Dolezal? I remember there being quite a bit of controversy about his unknown background and certain documents showing he registered as white instead of black.
Who knows? But you know this situation has got to be getting to her. I have no issues with people relating to others but saying you are something you aren’t seems like riding on other’s backs. Just like the white guy dressing up like a Native American and claiming great grandma was a Cherokee princess. It’s just creepy and weird.Yeah really, where's been in all of this? BLM doesn't want her?
Why does Shawn King's opinion matter one little bit? Who made him a god?Shaun King said Monday it’s time for anything resembling “white Jesus” to be expunged from the public square.
The staunch Black Lives Matter activist made the comments as online activists continued to debate which statues and monuments were culturally unacceptable in 2020.
The May 25 death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, under the weight of Minneapolis police served as the impetus for activists to tear down statues of historical figures like Christopher Columbus and George Washington...
Shaun King says Jesus images ‘a form of white supremacy’ that must go: ‘They should all come down’
Yes it is a cult. Sacraments include glass breaking, looting, and burning.The Mob Comes For Jesus
Well that was inevitable. Shaun King, or Talcum Xas he has been called by some, is a race hustling con man, but the Black Lives Matter and Antifamobs need to constantly up the ante for press coverage, so I am sure that statues of Jesus and the Blessed Mother will be on their hit list.
Also, I am beginning to agree with John McWhorter that this is a religious movement:
“As I’ve written often, we’re dealing not with a political ideology but with something that an anthropologist would recognize as religion,” McWhorter said. He continued, “And it’s easy to hear me say that and think that I’m trying to make a rhetorical point. I don’t mean like a religion, [it] is a religion. The way that you understand how these people operate is to actually imagine how you would interact with a Mormon who you were trying to convince that Joseph Smith didn’t dig up tablets in the back yard.
“And again, not rhetoric folks. Exactly that. It’s the same frame of mind. It’s just that our language doesn’t happen to apply the label religion to the kinds of ideology we’ve seen over about the past ten years.
“The tenet of this religion that dominates is that to be against racism trumps literally everything else. There are ranked priorities and being against racism…is everything, to the point that you allow yourself not to make any logical sense. You must be against racism and so George Floyd must have been murdered because he was black and there is no questions asked.
“And you cannot have any kind of dialogue with a person of color about racism. If you have any kind of dialogue with them, if you question anything that they say…you are a racist and there are no questions to be asked.”
As he said, McWhorter has written about this before. In 2018 he wrote this about the adoration for Ta-Nehisi Coates in certain circles:
There is an idleness in this cult of atonement, in that it cannot get whites what they want. I wonder if today’s atoners quite understand that “getting it” will not, for example, make Ta-Nehisi Coates like them any more than Marlon Riggs liked the graduate student and her friends despite their leftist politics. There is an Old Testament quality to the Coates preachings, for example. He is unmoved by the deaths of white firefighters during 9/11, uncomfortable seeing his son as a tot playing comfortably with white kids, and sees young white parents with their big strollers as white people taking up too much space as always. The degree of self-hatred—if sincere—is staggering in whites proclaiming how much they “love” this kind of scripture.
And all of this, ultimately, is often as condescending as nakedly dismissive views of blacks were in the bad old days. I doubt most whites truly think racism is so acridly pervasive and persistent in this country that a middle-class black man ought to fear his children playing with theirs, or look upon firefighters barbecued on 9/11 as mere racists getting their just desserts. Pretending to believe this sort of thing is insincere and insulting. It’s a pat on the head…
We have gone from most whites being unaware that racism was a problem for black people at all to whites being chilled to their bones at the possibility of harboring racism in their souls, terrified at the prospect of being singled out as a heretic, and forgetting that the indulgences they purchase and the praying they do for their souls has more to do with them than with anyone black and their problems.

The Mob Comes For Jesus
And then there was that presidential candidate who claimed to be Native American. Creative ancestory.Anyone remember Rachel Dolezal? I’m not saying that’s the case with him but he brought her to my mind.
Who knows? But you know this situation has got to be getting to her. I have no issues with people relating to others but saying you are something you aren’t seems like riding on other’s backs. Just like the white guy dressing up like a Native American and claiming great grandma was a Cherokee princess. It’s just creepy and weird.
Ever so true. One can read Saul Alinsky. And he's only one of them.Let’s not be fooled, these attacks on law and order and the church are planned and coordinated . The various pillars of society stand in their way in taking complete control.
Well its just like feminism, "Me Too" or a ton of other movements. They start out as legit and for a worthy cause, but are quickly infiltrated by scandalous people who attempt to use it for personal power or their own pet projects . . .BLM is looking more like a black supremacy group than one who wants fairness.
I think these people are power-hungry. I think they have deep self hate that cannot be remedied simply by throwing down statues they don’t like or agree with. The world has become more and more narcissistic and self aggrandized.
We are of course talking a total lack of respect for anybody else who has a different opinion. A different culture. A different faith. This is complete selfishness and lack of respect or empathy for others.
