In addition to this, it takes some time for African Americans’ hair to reach its final texture. Babies are born with straight, wavy, or loose curls that curls/kinks tighter as they age.
That was me. I don’t know for sure if it’s universal throughout the US or Kentucky(Bricker might know), but yes, if a married woman has a baby, the husband is presumed to be the father.
Here’s an article partially dealing with that. http://www.lawny.org/index.php/advocate-page-attorney-resources-119/38-public-advocate-information/171-paternity-for-advocates
People will notice that the article mentions that in New York, the status of the husband being the father is so strong that married women in New York can’t have another man listed because the legal paternity of someone other than the husband would have to be established in court.
Obviously, this might be different in Kentucky.
I just posted about it - 2 posts up.
Here is Kentucky:
A “parent” is a biological or adoptive mother, a father of a child born in wedlock, or a father of a child born out of wedlock if paternity has been established in a judicial proceeding or in any manner consistent with the laws of this or any other State.
Thanks, it sounds like in Kentucky also has similarly strong presumptions that the husband is father when a married woman gives birth.
In short, if Jeffrey King and Shaun King’s mother were married at the time of his birth, unless judicial proceedings were undertaken, he was the legal father though not necessarily biological father.
Edit: And Running Coach just confirmed.
Cite?
Now that Mr. King has been caught lying, I wonder how long it takes that silly organization to force him to resign.
It doesnt list race does it now? And, you have never heard of a paternity suit where the childs father on the Birth cert isnt the biological child?
**Again, what is your definition of “Black”? **
Until you can come up with a definition of “black”, how can you say Shaun isn’t black?
Where has he been caught lying.
Beyond that I have asked you three times to back up your claims that the kids who attacked King were actually black and you have so far failed to produce any cites.
Are you going to or should we assume you made a claim you can’t back up?
Thanks in advance for what I’m sure will be a well thought out, well-written post.
Samuel L. Jackson.
That motherfucker is black.
He hasn’t “been caught lying”, so he won’t be resigning.
Omar Little never said he didn’t believe him. All he said was he looked white. Early in the thread, which is where all his posts are, it was not at all well established that SK had any close relatives who were black. Most of the evidence presented at that stage pointed to him being white-- another Rachel Dolezal.
The problem is you’re not interested in an adult back-and-forth. Your objective is to deny, deny, deny.
I’ve cited multiple sources to these statements. Don’t be lazy. You’re the one in denial. Take the time to look up the sources I’ve provided you. It’s not that hard.
Sources: CNN, mediate, Don Lemon, New York Times
Lies:
1.) Mr. King just admitted, in his own words, that he doesn’t know who his father is. In previous statements, he very clearly said that he knew who his father was, and that his father was black.
2.) Mr. King’s brother stated that he was white, and that he fabricated a story involving a racially-motivated attack. Instead of white people beating Mr. King up because he was black, black people beat Mr. King up because he was white, dating a black woman. This story was verified by Mr. King’s childhood friends.
Mr. King’s refusal to take a DNA test only proves to further his deceitful ways.
I do not wish to further this discussion with you. I, in no way, wish to derail this thread into what people like you want it to become, thus taking the spotlight off this issue. Good luck in your research!
Especially since not a single item I’ve seen so far actually directly addresses literally the ONLY thing King could be lying about that has even one shred of relevance whatsoever: what his mother told him.
To be honest when I first saw Shaun’s picture I thought he was a white man with a black family and I thought, of course he’s a defender just like the mayor of New York. I had no qualms about his work, and like DiBlazio is sensitive to issues around the black community. To learn of his story, for me just makes more sense as to why he fights so passionately and his life just gives more cred to the movement.
In essence this asinine story of questioning his race has achieved the exact opposite effect of what his detractors worked so diligently to do, that is obtain police reports and birth certificates, and of course even if it was legal to do all this snooping, imagine how creepy this Pate person has to be to go to all that trouble.
- Horse manure. King knows who is legal father is, not his biological one.
- Again more donkey shit- who is this brother and why haven’t you provided his name?
- A DNA test for the very people who are punching him in the gut now, just like the racist farm boys in high school? They all can go fuck themselves.
I believe ** Omar Little** commented on Shaun King’s phenotype for a reason - because he was making an assumption about his genotype. So, I’ll agree to disagree, unless and until the poster comes back and says he was making a different point, or that he didn’t have a point.
Before the post in question was written, someone had linked to Shaun King’s response, the detective’s admission that he made an assumption about King’s race when he filled out the police report, and someone had linked to a picture of a pretty clearly biracial looking teenaged King. So, I don’t think we were in Rachel Dolezal territory; all the information that we have now was already out by then.
Okay, I’ll agree that it’s not the one-drop rule in particular that might make people think this, but I think these sorts of beliefs are a remnant of white supremacism – that white and black are somehow inherently separate and different, even as people recognize that there are many mixed-race people (while still identifying these people, for the most part, as “black”).
I’ll agree it’s somewhat incoherent, inconsistent, and illogical, but then those are key traits of white supremacism.

Did we change out mind and decide that there such a thing as a DNA test for blackness?
