It looks like there’s trouble in black activist liberal paradise. We posted way back when Shaun King had to shut down some silly Social Justice project he had going, and a bunch of people responded by demanding answers about how the money was handled.
Well another “black activist” moron, Deray McKesson, is accusing him of shying away from answering tough questions.
I'll keep this brief, but I'll begin by saying that @ShaunKing blocked me when I asked questions re: planning/money re: JusticeTogether.

Y'all know, I've always been @ShaunKing's biggest defender, ever since he wrote that article re: the distance between DW and MB's body.
— deray mckesson (@deray) December 13, 2015
But, as a former board member of JusticeTogether, I didn't know about the money or about the abrupt end. I had/have questions.

Y'all know that I keep things off of Twitter. We don't bring the fights here. There's too much work to be done.

If you have a question about JusticeTogether, so do I. And so do many of the other board members, even if they're publicly quiet.

.@ShaunKing's reporting has been important to the movement, it has. I'll never deny that. I considered him a friend. But integrity matters.
— deray mckesson (@deray) December 13, 2015
“Integrity matters” among the movement that advocates for killing cops!! Well, it matters when they think they’re being scammed out of free money anyway!!
And before I ever tweeted anything about JusticeTogether's end, I texted @ShaunKing first and then called. He sent me to voicemail.

When we are at the White House or with celebrities, they aren't photo-ops. We are always talking about the movement & black folks.

Deray is responding to this tweet in which Shaun King seems to take a swipe at him:
Here's the thing – I don't do lunches with politicians, dinners at the White House, or photo ops w/ celebrities. I expose injustice.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 13, 2015
He’s so sassy!!!
Even though @ShaunKing threw shade tonight, I don't hate him. I stopped trusting him when JusticeTogether ended. But I don't hate him.
— deray mckesson (@deray) December 13, 2015
But @ShaunKing, you have a way of deflecting any questions about your integrity by attacking others, which is what you did tonight.
— deray mckesson (@deray) December 13, 2015
I, too, was shocked when the response to my questions about JusticeTogether's finances and end were met with such hostility by @ShaunKing.
— deray mckesson (@deray) December 13, 2015
Why did I respond tonight? Because issues were raised #onhere. So, I responded #onhere.
— deray mckesson (@deray) December 13, 2015
.@ShaunKing will attack me, build a website about himself, & write a 10,000 word Facebook post before offering substantive answers.
— deray mckesson (@deray) December 13, 2015
Oh really? WOW, it’s almost like he’s the white black activist scam artist that conservatives have been calling him this entire time! What a coincidence! LOL!
.@ShaunKing, I'm always happy to talk. You have my number. And Twitter isn't the place for this to happen, hence my previous texts to you.
— deray mckesson (@deray) December 13, 2015
And then… Shaun King responded. Because they need to keep that scam money rolling in!!

1. I'll fully reconsider how I share videos of police brutality. I believe they are essential, but see the damage they cause. That's on me.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 13, 2015
He’s just rambling at this point.
2. This movement is messy. Everyday somebody tells me don't talk to this person or that person or they hate this person or that person. WILD
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 13, 2015
3. I generally don't clap back unless you come for me over and over and over and over again. When you do, I eventually respond.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 13, 2015
Actually, no, he just blocks you. Which he did to me when I asked him substantive questions, and then he did the same to Deray! LOL!
4. I'm terrible with people. Good on the mic. Good with words. Good w/ my family. Otherwise, I'm a reclusive, anti-social, awkward guy.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 13, 2015
Well that explains why you can’t account for the money you took from people!!
5. People, myself included I suppose, are confused over who the enemy is and isn't. I'm a fighter at heart. All of that creates problems.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 13, 2015
Also, scamming people out of money creates problems.
6. As a general rule, I have, and always have been the type of guy that owns up to where I fall short. I pivot and try to grow where I can.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 13, 2015
That’s why he’s not answering questions from people on his own board!
Anyway he kinda rambles on incoherently for a while but ends up with this:
I'm sorry. Will circle back more tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/9JLKgCsLH6
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 14, 2015
Yeah I’m betting this ain’t over by a longshot!! According to what people were saying before, there is $10,000 that he refuses to account for. Seems like an issue!!
