    The mainstream media looks a goddamn fool running with this story. But what can you expect from a country that gives the current GOP any credence or airtime at all?

    You know how when these police brutality things happen we say “Where are all the good cops?” Well where are all the sane, intelligent, culturally sophisticated, non-racist, common sense-having White folks when these kind of honkeyshines take place?

    Go get some colored friends, folks. And a goddamn clue.

    Brietbart continues to bedevil this planet from beyond the grave. His evil oozes out in tentacles that animate small minded bigot with big mouths. “Conservatism” as it manifests in this country, is both a spreading cancer and a mental illness. I wonder if this is the way it was when the Nazi philosophy began to poison the citizens of Germany?

    Here’s a novel concept that may’ve been missed:

    Who.

    The Fuck.

    Cares?

    Seriously tho. Anyone who is biracial can tell you that there’s a very fine line between being too black for the white people and too white for the black people, and knowing how imaginary it is makes everyone around you who gives more than zero fucks about such nonsense look like crazy people.

    If there was some test for “racial purity” for whatever position this guy holds, then they should say so, and let us know if he passed. If there’s not, then why is this an issue, if he has been accepted as being whatever he presents himself as.

    And more importantly, how in a million years does this rise to the level of newsworthy? Christ, I thought that idiotic Rachel Dolenz (or whatever her fucking name was) story was ridiculous, but now people are going after folks who are ACTUALLY biracial? What the fuck?

      Though this comment has only been up for two minutes I maintain that it should have all the stars. As in “it should steal all the stars from all the other comments in this ‘story’”!

      Yes, I keep waiting to see some sort of explanation as to why this matters, why people are writing blogs about it, and why anyone is supposed to care.

    I heard this on RW radio the other day and it immediately sounded sketchy.

    It’s fucking horrible all these RW media outlets just echo each other all day, with not a speck of integrity or actual reporting.

    It’s how they end up frustrated that no one else is shocked about the 2012 election, Benghazi, Planned Parenthood, Clinton Email, IRS, Executive action on Immigration, The Iran Deal, Obamacare, Unemploymemt %, GDP growth, Monthly jobs numbers, anything Israel, any confirmation of appointed officials, and debt ceiling votes.

    Phew. Did I miss any?

      I like to hear all arguments.

      And... I like to call them and fight with ‘em. Literally WMAL’s (RW radio station in DC) entire daily line up know me by name and HATE ME. Cuz I crush their shit like 3 times a week... They’ve gotten in the habit of muting me half way thru sentences... But I still get ‘em...

      No, it’s not, but you’re also posting on Gawker, a website that recently outed and shamed a closeted gay man (and didn’t fire the author who did it), so let’s not get too self-righteous.

    “I don’t care if we have to drag this random dude’s personal familial dirty laundry out where everyone can see it, we’re going to make him prove whether he’s black or not, because for some reason that is the most important thing in the world right now.” - Breitbart

      Yet imagine the inverse. Going after people to *prove they’re white*? How insane and mean-spirited that would seem - yet the other way around, too many people just go: “Yeah, let’s see!!!” (on knee-jerk reflex). :(

    Breitbart and its ilk are chiefly motivated not by a wish to expose Shaun King as a fraud, but their desire to intimidate and humiliate anti-racism activists.

    At least it’s not just a bunch of hateful racist assholes conspiring to smear someone.

      Stop talking about the Republican congress!

      They don’t like when people speak the truth. ITS NOT CUZ OBAMA IS BLACK. It’s cuz he’s not really black. His mom was white. That means he’s not real. Oh, and he hates America. How could a black guy love America... Look what we’ve done to them... I mean... A half black guy... And we SAVED them from Africa.

    highlighting the fact that King’s 1979 birth certificate indicates he was born to two white parents

    His birth certificate does no such thing. People’s misunderstanding of what a birth certificate documents led them to this two white parents conclusion.
