Irving is currently suspended from the Nets for at least five games after a tumultuous week in which he endorsed an antisemitic film and refused to back down in media sessions.
For Irving to return, he must meet with the media and issue a verbal apology that clearly states he’s sorry for sharing the film and understands the film is harmful and untrue.

Irving also stated that he believes in other conspiracy theories, such as the idea that John F. Kennedy was killed because he wanted to end the banking cartel.[204]
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and his hesitancy to receive a vaccine against the virus, Irving has shared and interacted with social media posts from a conspiracy theorist on Instagram, claiming that “secret societies are administering vaccines in a plot to connect Black people to a master computer for a plan of Satan”.[205]
On September 15, 2022, Irving shared a video on his Instagram story containing a rant by InfoWars creator and far-right conspiracy theorist[206] Alex Jones. In the video, from 2002, Jones promotes the New World Order conspiracy theory and alleges that state actors are planning to oppress the public by intentionally releasing viruses.[207][208][209]
A month after sharing the Alex Jones video is when he shared the link to the book on amazon.com. Which one do you suppose is the real reason they’re after him?
What did he supposedly do? I’m getting lost here.
I get the impression that Ye is slightly unhinged and fell for some Hebrew Israelite propaganda, but is mainly being targeted because he’s dancing with the Republican Party.
I’m assuming the same here, but don’t know.
“Meet with local Jewish Leaders?” It will just piss him off. You can’t ‘force’ someone to be non-anti-semitic..It has to be an acceptance of the heart.
The Black Hebrews
There may be some truth to what they say. The Bible describes those who left Egypt as “a mixed multitude.” But, no, the Black Hebrews is mostly a cult belief.
The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Black Hebrews as anti-Semitic, which is probably why the documentary is verboten (and why Kyrie Irving has to apologize). We saw, at Waco, Texas, where demonizing cult groups leads. Most of the people at Waco, and most Black Hebrews are guilty of nothing more than holding to some outlandish ideas.
Most Black Hebrews are decent, law-abiding, hard-working, family-oriented people. They’re outlandish ideas serve to weed out non-believers who would mooch off them, and insure that their fellow believers are willing to commit themselves to the community.
The following is a pretty good description of Black Hebrews and their critics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hebrew_Israelites
I’ve looked at bit. I assume It’s the Hitler quotes and whatnot in it. Repeating of the (genetically disproven) slander than Ashkenazi Jews aren’t genetically Jewish.
It repeats the same Hebrew Israelite nonsense that ConYe talked.
Those guys are violent nuts. They’re behind a lot of the anti-white attacks in the USA northeast.
All that said: there absolutely were (and are) Jewish people who were black. My grandmother is Sephardic via North Africa (Eqypt) and would be called a “high brown” in the USA. Her facial features are Caucasian but skin very dark. Think the model Iman.
Israel is itself on the corner of Asia. Europe, and Africa. Some call it the “corner of the world”. So, of course people from all over have come through there.
The Torah itself called us a “mixed multitude” coming out of Egypt, with Moshe taking dark-skinned wives (who converted). And yet we’re so mixed genetically that King David has fair skin, red hair, and blue eyes.
So they DO have a point. There were and are plenty of dark skinned Jews.
What they are missing is HaShem doesn’t care what color His people are.
“To learn who rules over you, find out who you may not criticize.”
~Voltaire”
Whoa, hold on there buddy. Let’s dial back the antisemitisms, okay?/j/
A lot of Jewish people get irritated by Holocaust denial, because it’s always the Nazis who do it.
Love the Voltaire quote! How true.
Irving is a died-in-the-wool racist like Lebron James. Black/Sioux parents who moved to Australia (America is soooo racist, don’t you know). And he isn’t anti-Semitic. He hates Jews like many blacks.
Kanye / Ye
Yes, Kanye is indeed slightly unhinged. He’s bipolar. Along with other things, bipolar is usually associated with susceptibility to conspiracy theory, that is, more than a healthy level of skepticism. Yes, we should “question authority.” But, we should do this in a way that is fair and, if possible, with the purpose of improving things.
The human mind is the most awesome thing in the universe. But, for some, the power of the mind comes at a price.
Black Hebrews were the ones taunting the MAGA kid who sued all the media companies. His high school group was in DC visiting. The kids were waiting for a bus and the Black Hebrews yelled racist insults at them. An Indian got in the middle of it all leading to the infamous confrontation.
This reminds me of the South Park - kiss the black butt apology
Grovel and then grovel more.
Saw an ESPN discussion and they referred to “his owner.”
His owner?
Oh, the NBA team owner who is his boss.
But yeah. His owner.
This and the Kanye thing is to tell the “house n*****s” they can be tossed back in the field any time their owners want. So shut up and don’t bite the hand that steals from you.
He has not said anything that Black Liberation Theology has been saying for decades. Should Barak apologize too?

@WhitlockJason
Negro Overseer Association has negotiated with Massa on the terms of Kyrie Kinte’s reinstatement to the NBA.... Where’s Bron? Where’s Kap? Where’s Maria Taylor? Malcolm Jenkins? Jemele Hill? Charlamagne? Remember all the smoke for Drew Brees and the anthem? Silent now. Frauds.
I’ve enjoyed learning a lot of things on this thread, and especially from the link you provide to the ADL review of the movie.
His real crime was not taking the jab and this is just an excuse to persecute him.
The left! Who scream “death to israel”, who support the plo, hammas, Palestinians, hezbollah, etc now demand that Irving apologize to jews?
Whitlock going full scorched earth...luv it.
Good post.
The left changes the rules by the day—and pick out victims to convince everyone else to sit down and shut up.
The NBA is joining them in that nasty business.
Everyone must have the right to be wrong.
It is non-negotiable.
