Watch: Tomi Lahren Tweets 'I Have Black Friends, Get Over It;' The World Responds, 'Said Every Racist That Ever Lived'

Her show's trolling "Black Guns Matter" segment sparked intense backlash.
  • On Wednesday, Tomi Lahren did what she does best and trolled us all with a caption about Black friends

  • And people instantly called her out for pulling the 'I have a Black friend' card

  • As it turns out, her 'Black friend' Maj Toure, who leads the Black Guns Matter Movement, joined her in a conversation about gun ownership rights in the inner cities

    Black Guns Matter is an organization that teaches gun safety, information and gun rights and conflict resolution. Maj's statements were for the good of the community. However, it does run the risk of mirroring the common sentiment that good people with guns can stop bad people with guns. 

    Additionally, Tomi seemed to be very encouraged and pleased with their conversation because Maj also appeared to be against gun control laws.

  • Some called Tomi out for bashing Black Lives Matter but upholding the concept of putting more guns in neighborhoods already plagued by gun violence

  • Many of Tomi's fans (and fans of the second amendment) applauded the pro-gun discussion between people of different backgrounds

  • Meanwhile, some people did not agree with Maj's appearance on The Blaze
