Joy-Ann Reid Killer Mike Interview – Colion Noir Response to Joy Ann Reid

About this video

Colion addresses his public disagreement with Joy Reid following an interview Killer Mike gave to NRA TV. Colion defends his own statements about the Parkland shooting activists and refutes Reid’s criticisms that the NRA doesn’t support Black gun owners, citing cases where he argues the NRA defended the Second Amendment rights of African Americans. He breaks down what he views as flawed premises in Reid’s questioning, particularly around implicit bias and police interactions with armed Black citizens.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that challenging someone’s position on an issue is not the same as attacking them, and maintains that his criticism of March for Our Lives activists was legitimate discourse, not inflammatory rhetoric
• Colion disputes the narrative that the NRA is historically racist by pointing to cases where he says the NRA supported Black gun owners like Otis McDonald and Josephine Byrd, and notes that the Mulford Act applied to all citizens
• Colion criticizes what he characterizes as Joy Reid’s contradictory position of claiming the NRA ignores Black gun owners while simultaneously discouraging Black Americans from carrying firearms due to potential police encounters
