Why would you have thought that?
I have little interest in said subject. My point is that you can’t dismiss a whole movement because one member (may have) lied. It’s like saying the GOP is all crooks because Nixon.
Having said that, given your rather lame appeal to authority I suspect explaining debates to you is not a worthwhile use of my time.
What is the physiological test for whether I am a racially white person?
How black does someone have to have in order to be telling the truth when they identify was bi-racial?
Well if you claim that your mother is white and your father is African American, and the father looks like this, then I would say it’s pretty clear you’re not “bi-racial”.
I’m starting to guess what’s going on here. Shaun’s brothers look like white dudes, because they actually are. His mom is white, his alleged dad, listed on the birth certificate, is white. And he’s most likely the actual birth father of Shaun’s brothers. But Shaun looks nothing like his brothers. The hair and the nose don’t lie. Looks to me like a case of infidelity covered up, and Shaun’s comment, ““Out of LOVE for my family, I’ve never gone public with my racial story because it’s hurtful, scandalous, and it’s MY STORY.””
The dude is biracial. Historically white/black biracial people in this country have been considered black, the one drop rule and all that. Right or wrong, that’s the history of bi-racialism in this country. This is just the flip-side of that, trying to declare him as white because it supports THEIR agenda and possible desire to cover up unsavory parts of their family history, disregarding how he may feel about it.
(1) Why?
(2) How do you know that’s his father?
Perhaps I missed something, but the evidence that the father looks like that seems to be that some bloggers googled his name and found a picture of a white guy. It’s not exactly an uncommon one.
He was born in IIRC 1979 and I’m not sure if birth certificates from then still listed the parents race.
It’s also worth noting that assuming that the father is the person listed on the BC is always extremely tricky, particularly if the mother was married.
In many states, if the mother was married the husband is always automatically listed as the father and presumption the husband is the father is so strong that in the event of the woman dying in childbirth and someone coming forward who sues for custody and claims he and the mother had a torrid affair, the courts almost always give the child to the husband.
In your view, which is more susceptible to reform through grassroots political action: police departments, or street gangs?
And abortion has nothing to do with anything, here.
Which is obviously what he’s hinting at with his comments about family history.
Okay, so it is a blogger Googling.
If by “Googling” you mean “finding someone’s mug shot and criminal history searching the public records using the name and date of birth” then yes.
He doesn’t know the father’s name or date of birth. He knows the name and date of birth of Jeffrey King, who he has concluded is the father.
Pate charges that a man with the same as King’s dad has been the subject of multiple arrests in the Bluegrass State and can be seen in his mugshots as being clearly Caucasian.
He was born on November 11, 1955 — which would make him 23 at the time of King’s birth, the same exact age listed for his dad on his birth certificate, according to Breitbart.
In addition, King’s brother, Russ King — who is also white — has told Pate that their dad is in fact the man in the mugshots.
I dont think this washes. If King was so sensitive of his racial background and “through family love he has never gone public” he is unlikely to have been so outspoken about his biracial background. King looks as if he could have easily passed as white if he wished to. Instead, he associated himself as biracial at some point(the time this happened is debated). On one hand he is attempting to downplay the black father angle because of “family love”, yet at the same time playing it up. People are complicated. We are all full of conflicting influences. But to suggest he is reticent on his background to protect his mothers adultery does not pass the smell test.
I would like to point out I still have no idea what his true racial identity is.
Cite?
I see Lemon reporting an unidentified family member(which can mean a lot of things) saying “he’s white” I don’t see any video of him claiming that 1995 assault was him getting beaten up by black guys for him dating a black woman.
Can you provide some evidence of this.
I very clearly explained why the BlackLivesMatter movement was without substance. It reaches far beyond a high-ranking official lying about being black. Please don’t take your lack of comprehension out on me. Let me help you…
The movement is a giant refusal of accountability. If they really cared about black lives, as I’ve previously stated, they would focus on the issues that are truly devastating within the black community.
1.) The blindingly disproportionate abortion rates. Just per example, in Mississippi, 75% of abortions are conducted on African American babies.
2.) Statistically speaking, when an African American is killed in this country, the percentages are overwhelming that it’s likely done by another African American. The subplot of this glaring FACT is the destruction caused by African American gangs, and the children they’re responsible for hurting. Related is the Africa American neighborhoods–comprised of good, hardworking people–who are held hostage by said gangs.
3.) The declining presence of the African American father. 75% of Africa Americans are born out of wedlock. In many cases, the children are left without a father’s presence. The added pressure is assumed by the mother, who in most cases, is working her ass off to support her family. This lack of presence leads to a lack of priority on the subject of education (highlighted by African American graduation rates among males in both high school and college). Hence, in these communities, gangs, music and sports are being taught as one’s only option “out”. Such an epidemic not only hurts the African American community, it hurts the entirety of our country. Lost are these great minds, stolen by gangs, and a lack of accountability. The next great Doctor, robbed from the world, by thugs imposing their will.
4.) Finally, there’s the leader of a movement, Mr. King, fabricating a story deemed impactful to his message. As Mr. King’s family and childhood friends relayed, Mr. King was not beaten by white students in high school because he was black. In fact, he was beaten by black students in high school because he was a white guy, dating a black woman. Pretty important distortion, don’t you think? These lies are common place, meant to make a movement credible. Think about all the other lies that we haven’t found proof to discredit!
I tried. I hope at least a little bit resonated with you.
And to answer your earlier question: you bet your ass I’m serious. I’m serious as a mothetfucker! I’m tired of watching black children being killed, while the black community does nothing. While silly organizations like BlackLivesMatter turns a blind eyes, because if such a problem was highlighted, their faux narrative would be exposed. White people remain afraid to speak up, because if you’re white and express such concerns, you’re immediately labeled a racist. Guess what? Bring it! Call me what you like. My main objective is to stop the senseless killings of children simply walking to school–the next great doctor or poet–not self-preservation.
This is some bizarre Nineteenth Century shit right here.
The idea of a white race and a black race is a social construct. Surely the relevant question is not how recently this guy’s ancestors lived in Africa (or whatever it is people talking about “physiological race” are talking about), but instead whether society has treated this guy as non-white based on what he looks like, and whether he has thought of himself as white as opposed to bi-racial.
What would be a story is if he always understood himself to be white, society treated him that way, and then later in life–absent some revelation about his family history or similar–he decided to start identifying as bi-racial for some perceived personal benefit. Is there any evidence that is what happened?
What would not be a story is if, for example, correctly or incorrectly he believed that his biological father was black or bi-racial, and therefore thought of himself as bi-racial. Or if, given his features, he was treated by enough of society as bi-racial so as to have had a different racial experience growing up.
I think this is the most likely explanation.
Incidentally for anyone who keeps insisting that Shaun White has to be “white”, here is a picture of Wentworth Miller, the actor from Prison Break, who has a black father and a white mother.

I’d say that Shaun White looks a lot more like him than he does his own “brother”.
