Imagine being so wrapped up in skin color that you resent someone for having the word black or white in their name.
That’s what happened in a back-and-forth between NRA spokesman Colion Noir and a troll who took issue with Colion’s last name …
?????? Of course they do! It wasn't my point! Why get a Black man named Black to talk about Black communities?!

Huh?
So you’re only issue is that my name has the word black in it? If I was a white guy, named white talking about black communities would that be better? https://t.co/eEcfWR97fE

If a white guy whose last name was White was talking about black communities folks on the Left would accuse him of wearing a white hood.
It sounds stupid but have you seen the Left lately?
Mr. Noir, are you a gun dealer? Or paid lobbyist/pr? I'm just checking your angle.
You're doing a good job of pushing your position although I don't agree with your tactics.

Backpedal engaged.
Neither. I’m a Lawyer and 2A Advocate. I was doing this for 6 years before the NRA. It’s all documented online. No ever chooses to do their homework before attacking me for being a fake, but I can’t force people to do their homework. https://t.co/BzmlVU1EVR

This guy just kicks ass, we totally get why the NRA chose him as a spokesman.
We didn’t know he was also a lawyer.
Daaaamn.
No. My issue is that you're lying and using dog whistling, but do your thing brother!
— Greg King (@gregorykingjr) March 8, 2018
Wha?
Where’s the dog whistle? If anything I’m dog whistling to black communities that our current leaders use gun Control as a distraction to avoid dealing with the harder socioeconomic issues that have created the conditions in some of our communities. https://t.co/MmRlHL85A8

In other words, Colion calls out their BS.
But he said it way better than we did.
I think you name having Black is almost porn-like in its overt humor! It can only be topped by a dark skinned Puerto Rican who's talking about the dangers of Hell's Kitchen (which is a real place)! I just find it brilliant (and cliche) if a writer did this!
— Greg King (@gregorykingjr) March 8, 2018
Porn-like?
Really dude?
K.
Again, Ive Fine countless interviews about the origins of my name. It’s simple. I wanted to start a YouTube Channel about guns. My friends called me Killa Colion and I love the color black. I thought Colion NOIR sounded better than Colion Black. Not that deep. https://t.co/QKfmwwZZ4D
— Colion Noir (@MrColionNoir) March 8, 2018
But how dare he choose to use the word BLACK in his stage name!?
Wow, we’re still a little bothered by that ‘porn-like’ accusation up there.
I didnt call you a fake!!! No no no! Youre the real deal. I just wanted to know your interest. Your videos are professionally produced and I was just interested. I know they don't let (or it's hard to get in) Blacks on the dealer side of gun deals! Just asking!
— Greg King (@gregorykingjr) March 8, 2018
Actually, he did basically call him a fake but hey, whatever helps him sleep better a night.
I know several black gun dealers and I know several black owned gun companies. One of which is involved with the NRA on a charity project. I have a passion for guns and a passion for advocacy. I spoke up about it and some people decided to follow me because of it. https://t.co/pNlSOqazp3

Boom.
I hate to stray from topic, but I made the point that if you didn't know better you'd think illegal immigrants are terrorizing sanctuary cities! So when you speak to people who don't know better and say inner cities are Living Hell and that's somehow related to gun ownership! ?
— Greg King (@gregorykingjr) March 8, 2018
Huh again?
Yes, because our leaders use the violence in some of our communities which is high as justification for more gun control. I believe the people in these communities should have the same access to the 2nd as anyone else. https://t.co/t6yweyJ1rH
