If someone will lie about being black and shut-shame his mother to cover his lie, do you really think this is the man with whom to trust your donations? Some of the Black Lives Matter folks who have supported him have been up in arms about being led on and likely ripped off.
Via Daily Caller:
Two charities that prominent Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King has claimed to have created and has touted publicly were never officially formed, The Daily Caller has learned.
King, who was recently hired as a justice writer at the New York Daily News, began raising money for a group called Justice That’s All last September, just after Michael Brown was fatally shot by a Ferguson, Mo. police officer. He also said in interviews in 2013 that a media company he co-founded, Upfront Media Group, would send a portion of its proceeds to an affiliated nonprofit, the Upfront Foundation.
But an extensive search of state nonprofit registration records, IRS records, and other databases returns no documentation showing that either of those entities were formally created.
And in an interview with The Daily Caller last week, King’s co-founder at Upfront Media Group, Ray Lee, made the surprise admission that despite King’s claims, the Upfront Foundation has never existed.
Update:
Two steps ahead of the law and the law suits? And my guess? People who donated wouldn’t all be getting their money back…

Black Lives Matter activist and New York Daily News columnist Shaun King is shutting down a nonprofit organization he started just months ago and will return all donations he’s received since last September, he announced on Facebook.
King’s move came just hours after The Daily Caller published an expose detailing his inconsistent statements involving charities he’s started in recent years. TheDC found no records of incorporation for Justice That’s All, an organization for which King began taking donations in Sept. 2014, just after the shooting death of Michael Brown.

A business partner of King’s also disputed a claim the activist made in 2013 that their company would direct some of its revenues to an affiliated nonprofit foundation. That charity never existed, the business partner told TheDC.
“At the impassioned request of my family, friends, and closest advisors, I have decided to cease the operations of Justice Together,” said King, who formally registered Justice Together in June.
