Author is 'confused' black man supports NRA - Colion Noir Speaks Out

About this video

Colion discusses his response to a now-deleted tweet by a Washington Post contributor who expressed confusion about seeing an affluent Black man with NRA and Tea Party bumper stickers. He explains why he views the tweet as problematic identity politics and argues for the importance of cross-political conversations. Colion emphasizes that supporting gun rights makes sense for Black Americans given historical context, and calls for dialogue over divisiveness.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that prejudging someone’s political beliefs based on their race reflects harmful identity politics that box people into expected viewpoints
• He teaches that the right to bear arms was historically denied to Black Americans, making organizations like the NRA relevant to protecting those rights for everyone today
• Colion advocates for having genuine conversations across political divides rather than shaming or ostracizing people who don’t conform to expected group beliefs
