Black Gun Owners Slam Funny or Die’s ‘Black NRA’ Parody
In case you missed it, last week Funny or Die produced a video in which comedian Sarah Silverman, among others, facetiously advocated for a black NRA. It wasn’t funny, but racist and ignorant, as Katie pointed out.
But don’t think the black, gun-owning community let this one slide. NRA commentator Colion Noir and PJTV’s AlfonZo Rachel both took their turn condemning the ‘black NRA’ video—and they’re well worth watching.
“Everyone in this video is guilty of promoting the idea that all young black men are criminals to be feared, because God forbid the Second Amendment apply to everyone, that would mean even young black men can own guns, too, and obviously that should scared every white person in America to vouch for gun control,” Noir says. “Are there white people who don’t want black people to own guns? Yes, and their names are Mayor Bloomberg and Dianne Feinstein…last I checked, the NRA advocated gun rights for everyone.”

The first task is to actually find a young black who (doesn't) have a gun.
Dr. Ray, I'd be interested in hearing your perspective on this. I don't see this response as censorship, but as legitimate criticism of the anti-gun policies implied by the Funny or Die video. I don't think that every cry of racism should be seen as a call for silence.
