This is the right's favorite tactic. I'm definitely not famous, but anytime I speak out about politics in my hometown, people there insist I'm a "northern elitist" posing as a Georgia native. It's crazy. Keep doing what you're doing; some of us recognize that you're awesome.

They don't care... Facts aren't relevant. @BarackObama had his citizenship questioned for no good reason- 1.Provided birth announcements Not good enough 2.Birth certificate Not long form 3.Provide long form birth certificate Must be forged To this day.

Question: Why does Shaun King feel compelled to prove this any further? @Morehouse literally tweeted that he's a graduate. #MagaManiacs are not going to believe what they don't want to no matter what.

Shaun, I'm saddened and disgusted every day over people who CONSTANTLY try to tell YOU who THEY think you are!!

they have that gang mentality!..

They need everything to be a conspiracy so they can feel ahead of the curve for once. They're not willing to do the work to so much as keep up with it in reality.

@SportsTalkJo3

I don't get it. Is it just 'say the lie enough and people will eventually believe it' or do they really believe you didn't graduate? It's so easily diaproven.

I support the message of this tweet. Know yourself. Know your worth.

That’s how hate usually works.

No need to prove yourself to them. Haters will be haters. Those who believe in you see their own values projected by you already.

@joshuadubois I have to get off your page, these angry, self-righteous white people are giving me anxiety.

The moment you start responding to their ignorance, you start to lose your uphill battle. Play it the way they do and continue marching forward. History repeats itself and the discrediting attempt is a good sign for you. We're ALL watching.

I think you are a well-intentioned dude. You just have some racial prejudices that seem absurd and divisive.
