PSA: Shaun King is a fraud! Don't support him!
Currently my insta feed is full of Palestinians demanding Shaun King's account be reinstated. There are more Shaun King posts than there are posts about Palestine. Most Palestinians on there don't know he's a fake. Idk if he was taken down for posting about Gaza or for committing fraud (again) but
Please tell your Palestinian friends/followers this guy is a fraud! He stole money from Tamir Rice's mother, had multiple "fundraisers" for various causes and kept the money, and most recently claimed to have literally rescued Israeli hostages. He was also selling "memberships" on his Instagram where supporters could give him $5/month to keep making Instagram posts. This is well-documented. People in Palestine don't know this guy's history and don't have time to vet him, so please make sure you tell them if you see them posting him, especially if you know any large influencers!
Black activists have been warning the world about this guy for years.
