Shaun King's luxury home

I do love the names people have for him.

Medgar Nevers and Frauderick Douglass are good but I still think Fleece Witherspoon is the fucking FUNNIEST.

Let me get this straight, just because I have money, I cannot show any support for underprivileged people? Think what you want about this guy, but he has raised more money for good causes than any of his critics on DL.

And isn't it funny that right wing outlets like Faux News and the NY Post are so interested in where Shaun King lives but they never gave a fuck about BLM? Fuck them and fuck you, OP.

[quote] Think what you want about this guy, but he has raised more money for good causes than any of his critics on DL.

Except that money never seems to make it to the intended people.

Receipts.

R4, how is that a receipt? For what?

R5 He has a history of questionable behavior. Read the link.

Is $800,000 really a luxury home value? I know it’s not a small amount of money but in California that’s like a nice starter house cost non?

R6, a Medium link? That's your receipt? Do you have any trustworthy outlet that you can refer me to other than Medium?

His house isn't that lavish. The NY Post is just trying to stir shit up

R7 Recently the average price of a US home was $249, 000 so yes he would be a 1%er in that home.

He could sell that home, donate a whopping $550,000 to the causes he believes in & still have a nice average US home.

Rejecting an essay written by Deray McKesson? Which, if you knew anything at all about the struggle, would know who he is.

Have ALL the seats.

R10 not in any metropolitan area sorry. And there’s no way it’s a 1% situation for less than $1m lol

“ The average home price for the first quarter of 2021 was $500,628”

R11, you can stand or take a seat, I really don't care what the hell you do. I don't really care about Shaun King or his house, but what I do care about is that right wing outlets have been trying to use him to discredit BLM from the start.

And I don't know where you live, but 800K for a house in NJ is not "lavish". Even if the guy lived in a shed, you and Rupert Murdoch would complain about his shoes being to expensive just to discredit BLM.

Even in less expensive metros $250k isn’t getting much, let alone in the top 10.

R16 Whatever, believe what you want to believe.

I support BLM, I have DONATED to them. But every movement has its bad apples and King is definitely a fraudster.

But you go ahead and call me Boris and insist I must be caping for Murdoch and the right wing.

R16 Big BLM should be discredited. They don't give a rat's ass about BLACK people! Full stop!

How come everyone who supports Big BLM hasn't heard of 12 year old David Mack? It's been months since his murder and nary a PEEP is heard from this org and it's supporters with their fake compassion.

[quote] Big BLM

Lolol so stupid

A house with a ONE CAR GARAGE is not “sprawling”.

R21 It may only have 1 garage but it does look like a "mini-mansion".

Lots of home pre 1960 have only 1 garage space or no garage & needed a garage added onto the property later.

Is this his only home? No weekend getaway somewhere?

Who cares what a metro home sells for?

If he believes in helping the poor he could put his own net worth where his mouth is.

There are plenty of homes that sell for under $300,000 on Trulia & Zillow in NJ.

Why does he feel the need to live like the 1% he criticizes so much?

"Get your own house on order before you tell somewhere else how to solve theirs."

He reminds me of hypocritical poor activist Michael Moore who has several homes & wouldn't send his own kid to public school.

R7, does that look like a starter home to you? On a lake?

Jeez. Give it a break.

R19 hush

R24 it looks like a big suburban random US normal house. There is nothing luxury about it sorry. It’s outdated, cheap windows, cheap finishing materials, that fake stone lol, basic landscaping. It looks like it needs a bit of TLC.

R23 this is not a 1% house no way no how, doesn’t matter how often you say it. He’s relatively famous and successful - just because you work in the field of charity does not mean you have to donate your own income to charity. You understand this yes?

[quote]I support BLM, I have DONATED to them.

Typical thing for a white gay man to do. You’ve probably donated to trans shit too.

He deserves a nice home for all the work he's done bringing up the issues white racist don't want to discuss.

Reunite an ignorant parent with their child.

I'm not a Shaun King fanboy but if you advocate for progressive causes you should wear rags and live in a hovel? And last time I checked, an $842,000 house in NJ is not "living like the 1%". Somebody at the NY Post is pissed off at him and ran a hit piece. 0/10.

see, OP, cunts like R27 are the reason I stay out of this shit.

No matter how much you try to support POC or trans, it will never, ever, ever fucking be enough. You will always be wrong, or evil, in some way.

White gay men are the root of all this far-left shit. ^

And, of course—they’re misogynistic.

Shaun King is not black, he fabricated an identity similar to RD.

This is a luxury home, and he got it from frauding.

Shaun King IS a fraud and even threw his own mother under the bus and basically she said she did a lot of sleeping around which is how he had a black dad. But his fraud doesn't discredit the BLM movement (the organization is another story).

The list of his nicknames.

Bless you, Black Twitter.

and also.....

Chaka Con

R38 Chalka Con!

He's a Susan G. Koman; he sells projects and pulls in a lot of money, but he consistently fails to execute any of them after initial setup.

He's also awful at budgeting cash. His newer hires get screwed and it drives away volunteers.

He works like a for profit fund raiser. If he ever went legit, the IRS would eat him alive.

R26 This house isn't his income it's a big ol' nest egg. The nest egg of a wealthy dud who doesn't put his money where his mouth is & doesn't like to be called out on it.

2 out of 3 Americans (the poor & middle incomers) could not afford that house which puts him in the upper third of Americans (the upper class, the rich, whatever you want to call them).

In this 11-3-2017 article just 6% of Americans owned homes that were $500,000 or above. He is most likely in the top 4% of wealthy Americans to be able to afford a house like that.

^ dude or dud fits perfectly there.

MARY!

North Brunswick isn't fancy. It's fine, mostly white and Indianish with some blacks and Latinos. Great location. That is probably Farrington Lake. My MIL just sold her house for around $500,000 but it was a boring old house not on a lake. He is upper middle class but far, far from being a one percent-er.

Poor R44 is obsessed who is & who isn't in the 1%.

Rich is rich.

An $800,000 home is in the top 4% of US income earners.

Upper middle class LOL!

He is a 1% er of human wealth globally.

“He smart ass Negro American me no like. Me make a big hate. Post hate story from Right wing Murdick website.”

Nothing wrong with a lavish lakefront home.

R21 R22 The house has two garage doors.

Champagne Socialist?

R2: New York Post did cover BLM’s Patrisse Khan-Cullor’s luxurious mansion, repeatedly

I know he's a grifter but that home is in no way luxurious.

The nonsense about his home is blurring the issue - King IS a grifter.

IS a grifter.

He has a long ass history of it. Even if he lives in a hovel, Medgar Nevers is a fraud.

I'm pretty good at seeing mixed race in people being one myself but Shaun is someone whom I can't determine. He may very well be mixed race given America's one drop rule for Black people.

R50 what mansions do you know that have only 3 bedrooms? This reaching lol.

Idk if any of you have ever been to Topanga, but it’s not huge houses behind gates, it’s more about the space that the properties have. This is like a barn house, again there’s little that’s luxury about it. But go off haha.

"go off sis"

Bunch of boring bullshit lies here. First, Shaun King has laid out all of his finances related top his work SEVERAL times, for anyone to read through. He's not keeping secrets. He raises a LOT of money and gives publicity to a lot of stories that wouldn't be seen otherwise.

His wife, who has worked for years and years, bought this house. He said that prices are so astronomical in Brooklyn (where they were looking) that they had to buy somewhere else. I don't blame them. And yes, 800,000 in NJ is NOT "lavish" 🙄 They have four kids. It's enough.

It looks like a house in a cheesy subdivision that could be found in any town in the US. If I were a grifter, I'd buy something a lot nicer.

I have no idea who’s gritting/skimming or not, but it certainly must be very tempting to see donations roll in.

NO RELATION.

Mrs. King runs a small apparel company that supports learning programs and is an activist. How does this lead to buying a $800,000 house? Especially with paying for 5 kids....hmmm.

Rachel D looked more black than this white guy who looks like he glows in the dark.

[quote] Rachel D looked more black than this white guy who looks like he glows in the dark.

LMAO!

Shaun King isn’t black?!

I have had racists half my life wanting explanations on how, when and why I have all my assets. It's a racist flag. It's neon. This week in media it's Black people need to explain themselves to the public or else day. Obama and his birthday. Sussexs not defending George. Simone and her mental health. BLM founders and activists assets. All backed by incessant online trolling. It's just your typical rightwing trollfest. Yawn

Doe anyone if he's ever taken one of these DNA test to see where his ancestors came from ?

This sold for $580K around the same time. King's was

King's house is 3000 sq ft and that is a substantial home for middle class families. There were plenty of homes in that area of a good size for a family their size selling for $400-500k.

Stop excusing this fraud. How did he get this mortgage unless he had a huge down payment in cash?

R69 him and his wife probably earned it. He’s famous. She also works. They need what, 15-20% for mortgage? (Based on quick Google but feel free to correct if I’m wrong) which comes to $120-$160k? Not beyond the realm of credibility for someone with his name recognition in the slightest.

Yes R70 it would be great if you would read previous posts. As I pointed out, Mrs. Rai King works as an activist and sells Tshirts and sweatshirts for a non profit. No way she has ever made enough money to afford a $800,000 house. I am a doctor and could not afford that.

The art of the grift. A white man leaching off of blacks, "same as it ever was".

R71 she also previously worked as a teacher. So there was a salary. It’s undetermined how many years but please get your info correct. Shaun is wealthier than you is that what is bothering you? Do you have any reason to suggest that his own income couldn’t cover this?

What kind of doctor are you? A 36yr old doc acquaintance of mine just bought a $1.5m place so maybe you’re just doing it wrong?

R72 I have never defrauded Medicare/Medicaid or done any grifting, so yes I am less wealthy than a known fraud and grifter.

Teachers buying $800,000 homes? Lol.

i am in the lowest paid specialty, psychiatry, and I treat drug addicts on a sliding scale, so I follow the Hippocratic oath to a T.

R73 well that’s a nice choice you made for yourself. Sensing some insecurity on your part which might be motivating you to accuse him of being a fraud.

A teacher salary for x years plus Shaun’s writing and book earnings over the age that they are they could definitely accrue $120k in a non nefarious way. There’s no need for any more back and forth on it. X

“How dare black people live in house? Slave cabin or ghetto park bench not good enough?”

Jersey is expensive period. That is not a high price for the area and it’s not a desirable postal code.

Please. Teachers do not save that kind of money on cash when they have large families. They use every penny to live. Before this house they lived in Brooklyn which they claim was too expensive for them. So savings? I doubt that.

If they currently do not have sufficient income (e.g. she no longer teaches, he does what kind of steady reliable income) from dependable sources then a bank wants more down payment and higher interest - as in more cash. It doesn't matter what job she had before.

R77 he wrote a book, has contributed to a bunch of publications - he’s does speaking events that he gets paid to do, saving $120k over 20years of adult life for a down payment isn’t hard when you’re famous. Why are you all so fixated on this lol. He’s 41 now, if he saved $100 / week since he turned 18 he’d manage it. That’s not that much lol.

He hasn't been famous or making that kind of money for 20 years. What drugs are you on?

He’s been doing it for a few years - long enough to scrape the down payment together. Jesus you losers will not give it up. It doesn’t take long for someone earning over $100k to get a down payment of $120k together - it’s fairly basic maths. You could do it in no time.

You do not make $100K a year or you'd know how that is not as much as you think it is. And with 5 kids? Please. What do you think he banks all his earnings? LOL

Ok here’s some numbers. In 2017 he was charging $21000 for a speaking event. From Shaun’s own site he lists 86 different locations at where he’s made speeches - it doesn’t specify if he’s left any out or if any would have been repeat performances.

Let’s say he keeps 60% of his fee. And let’s say that he’s charged $21k for each one. That’s a minimum of $1.08m in speaking fees. Before tax sure, but also I see Facebook and Spotify on that list and let’s not pretend like 1) he didn’t get more than this figure from them or 2) his speaking fee hasn’t gone up since 2017. This also is discounting there being any places he hasn’t mentioned and some of them being repeats. It also does not include his earnings from his book, his writing or any other forms of income.

Now we can keep going round and round on this or you losers can just deal with the fact that someone like him makes more than you do lol.

“ activist Shaun King ($21,000) for the same amount of time.”

Some people are so fucking PRESSED. They must believe Shaun is above board and no other outcome can be possible.

R83 I don’t necessarily care about whether he’s above board or not but I think people unwilling to accept that he could earn enough to get a mortgage on an $800k home in NJ are the ones who are ‘fucking PRESSED’ as you put it lol. You gals seem really invested in this - I wonder why (I don’t it’s fairly obvious)?

Jesus -- the fact that any black person has a roof over his head has the racists on Datalounge shitting blood. He and his wife would need a joint income of about $200,000 to afford the mortgage on this house. Hardly one-percenters. And if the house was truly lavish, it wouldn't be three minutes from Costco (per the Zillow listing). The issue here really isn't whether Shaun King is a fraud or not but the fact that you losers take the Rupert Murdoch/NewsCorp bait every time. Pathetic.

There are way too many agendas in this thread and I can't follow it. That house is upper middle class for New Jersey but NOT in the %. If this couple has five children, they may have gotten some decent stimulus money in the past year. If they make too much for the stimulus money, then they make enough for this house.

Lavish? New Jersey? Garage doors seen from curb?

R82, LOL did you see his tax returns. No, I didn't think so. So you have no idea what he makes.

That man lies about everything. Why do you believe he ever got those fees? Just cause he lists that amount doesn't mean he gets it. Or that he even gets paid for all his speeches. He's promoting himself as a sought after successful speaker. it's a shtick.

Some of you are so gullible. This guy is a fraud. Banks want people who have good steady jobs or are cash rich. Neither of which this couple seem to be unless King has been bamboozling people. Guarantee he has done something shady to get this house. And then put it in his wife's name probably for some nefarious purpose.

Oh, and he's not black.

R88 he didn’t list it it was listed on a third party website lol - since your whole comment is based on that the rest is meaningless?

Such bullshit from the Post and right wing nutz. Why don't they show some of the multiple homes of Betsy deVos, Koch Brothers, Mercer family, the many palatial Murdoch homes, etc. Those are the people actively engaged in destroying our political system. The right wing narrative bing that if any progressive doesn't live in a shack or a single wide they are screwing the poors! Billionaires are able to hide behind their bought and paid for millionaires doing their bidding in the media.

You don’t have to be a rightwinger to realize this man is a fraud and taking the job (and attention away) from a black man! A black man should be in his place!!

Hate the game, not the player.

Again, the house is blurring the issue, but many of you are stuck on it.

The most shocking claim to come from this thread is that R71/R73 claims to be a doctor in psychiatry.

Lol loser R94. Should have not dropped out of HS, you too could live in a nice house like Shaun!

R94. There is no "doctor of psychiatry". Doctors have MDs or DOs. As in Doctor of Medicine - hence MD. See how that works?

R89, what 3d party site? A company promoting him? Trying to make him seem successful? Or maybe the IRS shared his financial data? Where do you think those 3d party sites get their info, you idiot. From this fraud.

R97 the one linked at R82. Sounds more like discovery on part of a students group or some college based committee, but who knows. Someone could post the receipts of the payment and you guys would claim fraud, you’re so determined in your prejudices lol.

Saw a facebook post from him saying that his wife bought the house with her income and credit with an FHA loan. That they are now planning to move because their location has been splashed across the internet and they need to hire security. Then he had a bunch of links you can send money to him at.

Regardless of what you think of him, no one deserves to have their children's safety be threatened.

Guy is a grifter. Who the fuck asks for money to help his wife pay for her school, who btw bought a million dollars worth house? Also, Tamir Rice's mom has been on his ass for using his death without her consent as a way to raise money.

He needs you to give him more money.
