Some have speculated that he's not, in fact, (part) black, as he claims to be.
Unlike Rachel Dolezal, who totally faked being black, King definitely looks like he has some black ancestry, in my opinion. I don't think he's a fake. His face is proof enough of his blackness, Breitbart's report notwithstanding. His "birth father" is listed as white, but he claims that this man is not his biological father, but that his biological father was a light-skinned black man.
I'm going to say his claim is credible based on his appearance. He doesn't really look half-black, so his biological father may have been half or even more than half white. But the black ancestry definitely shows in Shaun King's face, and that's hard to fake.
What the eye rolling part about his whole controversy is, of course, that his African American percentage is heavily outweighed by his white devil ancestry.
He was also apparently raised in white household by a white mother and in white culture. But he's clung to this small percentage of "non-white" identity like so many do because he can absolve himself from the kind of phenotypically ascribed guilt that he projects onto white folks. In this way he has rejected his parentage and large part of his ancestry to cling to a non-white identity.
You see the same thing with people are are 1/16th Native American placing it in the same place of prominence as other parts of their ancestry. The most dutiful adherents to the "one drop" rule are actually not white people anymore.
I'm not a typical Obama hater, but this pathology is also exemplified by Obama. His white grandparents raised him, provided for him, sacrificed for him, made him who he is... Arguably, some might say that society SEES him as a black man, and it is fair for him to react to that and self-identity as black as opposed to bi-racial. But it goes further...he seems to honor his biological father's heritage the most. The glorified sperm donor.
Black liberationists and SJW like to talk about the "fragility of whiteness" and other such new-wave race theory topics, but there's an identity crisis and fragility at play with the "Shaun Kings" and Rachel Dolezals of the world that has nothing to do with whiteness or white supremacy. Quite the opposite. If there were any psychologists willing to discuss the phenomena without fear of being declared racist I'd be very interested in trying to understand the underpinnings.

I see what you're saying, but someone who's, say, 1/16th Native American and 15/16ths white would probably just look white.
It has nothing to with the 1-drop rule. Shaun King could pass as a light-skinned black man, which he almost certainly is. He CANNOT pass as white, so it would seem silly for him to consider himself white. It seems like being obviously mixed has played a role in forming his identity, so I don't hold his identity against him, although I am the furthest thing from a BLM sympathizer.
The same thing is true for Obama. He obviously does not look white, so how can he really identify with his white side?

say what?
he could absolutely pass as white. since he apparently is, after all.
if I ran into him on the street today, he would register in my mind as a white guy.
Additionally, Shaun King is refusing to take a DNA test.
In fact, King is claiming that someone stole his DNA and is using his DNA test to blackmail him.
How can a DNA test be used to blackmail Shaun King unless King is lying about his race?
King has turned down $25,000 for a DNA test as well. If King is half black or close to it, just take the test and the $25K....donate the money to charity of you don't want it.
My bet is, Shaun King is lying about his race. It is not like this is the first time King has been accused of being dishonest. He has been accused of embezzling money from his non-profit.
Liberals have literally built an industry around victimhood. You can literally get a college degree in "social justice" now. King found a way to capitalize on that victimhood - if he is being dishonest to acquire his position in this field, is it a problem when the whole premise of the field is based on half-truths?

There is an industry that has developed around victimhood, King found a way to capitalize on that victimhood.
Either he is black, or he lied about this being his sophomore year picture, because there's no way this is a white person:
I understand that he can be mistaken for a white man since he is fair-skinned. However, I do think his black features are quite evident if you look more closely as his face.
