 [Daily Caller] New York Daily News columnist-activist Shaun King, whose racial background is the subject of some speculation, said during a heated radio interview on Friday that he was "blacker" than black radio host Jason Whitlock.
Whitlock and King met on air to discuss King's recent story about sexual assault allegations made against quarterback Peyton Manning in 1996 when he was a student at the University of Tennessee.
King published a 74-page "statement of fact" by a university trainer, Dr. Jamie Naughright, who alleged that Manning placed his backside, testicles and rectum on her face while she was inspecting his foot.
Whitlock accused King, one of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement, of going after Manning because he is white. The Daily News piece ran after King wrote several articles complaining about how the media treated Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who is black, after his team's loss to Manning's Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl.
From a comment at the Instapundit post on this:
There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

Mr. Washington, from a century ago, knows Mr. Shaun King very well... |
