Shaun King is… controversial. IG has banned him. How you feel about that depends on how you feel about him. Is he an activist or a con man? I’ve known Shaun for years, so in this throwback interview from 2020, I asked him point blank about his work and his troubles—why so many people have questions about his finances, why so many people doubt his Blackness, why so many people question his intentions, why he puts so many traumatic images in our faces through his social media. He answers everything.
