Brietbart, a conservative news publication, ran a story in August outing Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King as a White man. I remember the story and at the time I didn't really question it. I thought that he was a bit shady and a bit of a con artist and then I thought about it no more. How wrong I was!
Turns out that Mr. King is biracial (a simple Google Image search will tell you that). The name on his birth certificate is not the name of his genetic father.
His response to the accusation is positively nobel. If I am ever falsely accused of anything I hope that I can muster half the dignity that this young gentleman displays. It's an excellent essay and it's a good example of the use of reason and evidence in the face of a witch hunt.
He's not a Stoic with a capital "S," but his response, I think, fits very well with the tenets of our philosophy.
Well done, Mr. King. I admire you.
11/7/2015 Update: Now it looks like a number of his followers have concerns about his high school story, his reorganization of his coalition, and his use of donated funds. I very much hope that these accusations are baseless. Is this a hatchet job or the truth coming out?

Oh well. This will teach me to dabble in politics!
