UH OH!! Race Huckster Shaun King Being CALLED OUT By Supporters With #ShaunKingLetMeDown Hashtag!!
Self-promoting race huckster of devious racial composition Shaun King is being called out for shutting down an organizing plan he put together called “Justice Together” but failed to fulfill.
The hashtag began with one woman who told her tale of disappointment:
**Gets up on soapbox** Ahem. Listen up, beautiful folx. #ShaunKingLetMeDown

SK is opportunistic. He posts things about his past & about being hated on. His massive amount of followers feel for him #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
I still feel for SK. No doubt he gets hated on by the most vile scumbags. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
I still got love for SK. He sheds light on dark corners of American society. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
So why the hashtag? I feel compelled to speak. Hundreds of people were invited by SK to join @JusticeTogether #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
I experienced: A great idea. A charismatic leader. A goal I'm passionate about. But to me, there were always red flags #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
Lots of self-promotion. Intimidation of dissenting views. Excuses for non-action, no real answers… #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
…More self-promotion, pointing fingers at his haters, hiding behind a wall of silence, repeat. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
I excused his behavior until I couldnt. SK talks a good game, but he's all about the promotional spin. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
He all but required us to follow him on social media. Then he points and says "look how many followers i have". #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
Then he asks us to share his posts. If people called him out on his behavior, he grouped them in with the haters. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
Some JT Directors asked for accountability and for SK to be a present leader in the org he founded. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
We begged him to talk to us. He did, for a moment. The next thing we know we get a form letter & the boot #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
Hey at least you didn’t get the poison Kook-Aid treatment that usually follows the end of charismatic campaign…
Good people donated time and money to @JusticeTogether . SK let us down. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
Time… and money….
Apparently JT will still exist, but in a smaller capacity. But he's grouped ppl together, kicked them, out, regrouped b4 #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
I'm not against SK restructuring JT in a way that's more manageable for him, but I worry because I see a pattern #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
Pattern: use followers to garner support for a good idea. Start an org. Be absent. Blame your outside circumstances #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
…Promise action to come. Allude to action behind the scenes. Be all but absent for months #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
…Disband and re-group. For what? #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
Besides long "feel for me" posts on social media that describe the shiny new things he's doing. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
Geez he sounds like Obama.
Where's the follow through? The accountability? The support for the people who so badly wanted to believe in you? #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
In summation: I wish @ShaunKing had stepped up. Instead, he points fingers at his growing group of dissidents. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
@ChandraPaz so long story short – opportunists always show their self interest at some point. A lot of their rhetoric is a sham. It sucks

And then others chimed in….
@cjmperspectives I'm glad. Last year people tired to speak out but got drowned out. It was a mess.

And then….. BOOOM!!! Now they’re organizing against him….
Shaun many of your directors would like to know where the donation money went. Without malice, we deserve to know #shaunkingletmedown
— Beth (@eaclem) November 7, 2015
I feel like @ShaunKing is MSM and we're trying to tell the real story re. @JusticeTogether #ShutItDown #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Chandra Paz (@ChandraPaz) November 7, 2015
And while his followers grow, we now have to regroup and reorganize so we can continue to do this work. For real. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— R.O.N.A. (@CallMeCharizma) November 7, 2015
Long history of crowdfunding 'projects' that he then can't seem to be able to follow through on. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Elle Kamihira (@ellekamihira) November 7, 2015
I can no longer defend someone who lacks personal integrity and refuses to be accountable to the ppl in his coalitions. #ShaunKingLetMeDown
— Crystal (@cjmperspectives) November 7, 2015
The hashtag has blown up will tons of people talking about how Shaun King isn’t what he says he is. So a few hours later, he wrote a long Facebook post that blamed a lot of the people who were disappointed him.
I need to address something. Heading out to be with my family in a few minutes, but want to put this out there.On this…
