An activist author ignited a social media firestorm on Thursday after saying she was left “very confused” seeing a black man with a pro-NRA and Tea Party bumper-sticker on his car.
Kimberley Johnson, a feminist contributor to HuffPost and the spokeswoman for the national advocacy group We Are Woman, was slammed for questioning why a black person would not embrace progressive politics.
“Out on the road the other day I saw an affluent black man driving a BMW with two bumper-stickers. One was pro-NRA and the other one was a Tea Party sticker that read, ‘Don't tread on me,’” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “This left me very confused.”
She was immediately condemned, with most social media users accusing her of racism. “It's not confusing to people who don't judge others based on their skin tone. You should try it,” wrote user.
“One of the most racist things ever are people who think black people MUST all think alike and vote for the same party,” tweeted journalist Jason Howerton

I don’t believe the woman saw any such thing. She made it up to bolster her SJW cred. It’s not that I don’t believe a Black man can support the Tea Party or NRA. I just don’t believe ANYONE would slap bumper stickers on a luxury import.
I was thinking the same thing.
I’m seeing today’s new leftist buzzwords repeated ad nauseum:
“30% of Americans refuse to believe Trump has said/done anything wrong.”
Seems to me to mean:
“trump’s Approval Rating at 70%”!
It is beginning.
Boston tea party......1773.
Don’t Tread on Me!... 1775.
Close enough.
“’Out on the road the other day I saw an affluent black man driving a BMW with two bumper-stickers. One was pro-NRA and the other one was a Tea Party sticker that read, ‘Don’t tread on me,’”
Ha! That’s nothing. Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac!
“It’s not about skin tone. It’s about people voting against their own interests. The same can be said for anyone who isn’t rich and white,” she wrote in one tweet.”
Who are you to assume to tell me what is in my best interest, you racist twit?
By the way, I’ve got the NRA window sticker and the “Don’t Tread On Me” baseball cap, and I’m a darker shade of green.
Don’t look back.
Not to be confused with TRIGGERED
TRIGGERED is why I love Free Republic!!
I loved that these past few weeks for the TRIGGERED sourround me all day.......
LOL
She also accused the Tea Party movement and the GOP of not representing everyone and helping only “white, rich men.”
I don’t get why they think being rich is OK unless you’re a white man. I don’t care what or who you are, how are liberal politics good for anyone that is rich and successful? Especially, how are they good for anyone that WANTS to be rich and successful?
LOL
It’s true, although on F&F today he did joke about the bumper stickers. I think he’s on NRATV.
Well, the original tea party perhaps.
Leftards are just about the most racist people out there! Everything they see is filtered thru a race lense.
Small minds just can’t handle thought.
Wait, read her sentence again. "It's not about skin tone"...."for anyone who isn't rich and white"...
Come on, man...
You can never look back!
I’ve confused a lot of white liberals in my time. It amuses me when they openly begin spewing their leftwing crap in my presence, assuming that I agree with them solely because I’m black.
Their reactions range from stunned, to embarrassed, to horrified, when I gently begin countering their liberal bs with conservative opinions.
