The Daily Kos’ Shaun King responded to accusations that he lied about his racial background and is the “new Rachel Dolezal” with dozens of tweets outlining his position on related matters, but many noticed that after all the explaining he still hadn’t answered one question:
@ShaunKing So, it took you over an hour to present your case. Yet, you NEVER answered the original question. Are you black or white?

Shaun King wrote a lengthy rant but didn't seem to address the question

@ShaunKing That's nice, by the way, are you white?

Shaun King are you black or not? All this waffle about you being bullied or whatever doesn't prove anything. Simple yes or no?

Maybe King didn’t clearly answer the question because in this one case he believes certain people just don’t really care about the racial element:

Imagine that!
