Prog Activist DeRay Accuses Shaun King of Financial Misconduct, Spreading Fake News

Breitbart: Activist and journalist Shaun King has received harsh criticism from Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson, who called out his fellow activist for a “lapse in integrity” concerning fundraising tactics and leadership style. Mckesson also called out King for spreading fake news and “misstating facts.”

In a lengthy blog post on Medium, Mckesson cited a “lack of transparency” on King’s funding, adding that “those who attempt to lead but consistently demonstrate that they cannot effectively lead should stop. We have reached that point with Shaun.”

Mckesson lays into King by recounting his experience as a board member of Justice Together, which King created in 2014, focused on ending police violence.

“Shortly after the launch phase, I began to get emails from volunteers/members, who expressed a range of concerns about Shaun’s leadership,” McKesson writes. They included claims that dissenters were silenced within the organization’s slack groups or removed wholesale when they disagreed or challenged him, as well as slow or no communication regarding plans.

“I forwarded the specific concerns to him so that he could address them. He told me he’d addressed the concerns and largely dismissed them as little more than the opinions of disgruntled volunteers or trolls who had infiltrated the groups.”

Mckesson also alleges that fundraising remains murky for the group, saying that it remains unclear how much the group raised and spent. In addition, he claims that it remains unclear if taxes were ever filed for Justice Together.

King’s leadership style began troubling members of the organization, which allegedly led the dissolution of the board.

“Shaun unilaterally disbanded the Justice Together board in the midst of questions being asked by the board,” Mckesson claims.

  1. So shocking a white guy caught lying about being black is financially scamming the black group he has leadership in. I have no sympathy for this hate group that clearly isn’t being run by bulbs that burn bright. As if the rest of these BLM reprobates and cop murdering thugs are any better.

    Exactly. Who gives a shit about “leadership style”? There’s a goddam white elephant in the room. And two frauds.
