Amazon CEO says company won’t take down antisemitic film

Associated Press ^ | December 1, 2022

[Olog-hai]

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said Wednesday the company does not have plans to stop selling the antisemitic film that gained notoriety recently after Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving tweeted out an Amazon link to it.

Pressure has been mounting on Amazon to discontinue sale of the film, called “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” since Irving shared the link to the documentary with his millions of Twitter followers in October. The synopsis on Amazon says the film “uncovers the true identity of the Children of Israel.”

At The New York Times’ DealBook Summit in New York City, Jassy said it is difficult for the company to determine what content crosses the line to where Amazon doesn’t make it available to customers. …

Amazon sells all kinds of nasty stuff in their search to make money.

Reinforced ugly stereotypes.

Blacks blame Jews for keeping them in poverty, opening tv and furniture stores in ghettos.

Five bucks a week deal bought tv’s and furniture that was very
shoddy......as the shopkeepers got rich.

Before y’all post, ask yourself if you would take a job as a remote twitter content monitor.

And off so, Why

I actually watched a portion of this monstrosity and my wife and I were laughing out loud not at how completely devoid of facts, truth or evidence it was (and it was), but at just how bad it was as a production. The trailer proclaims that blacks are the real Israelites and that all 3 major religions conspired to "identity switch" Jews to the folks we know today, and makes massive claims of obvious proof. But the actual film is like a lousy PowerPoint demonstration with overloud, annoying music, and proves absolutely nothing, except how badly they can misinterpret Scripture.

It all reminds me of old Rush Limbaugh target Dr. Leonard Jeffries of CUNY, who tried to convince students that blacks created all the great civilizations and inventions and mathematics and it was all "stolen" from them by the evil white man who then enslaved them and took credit. So many black academics are infected with an extreme insecurity about the actual dearth fo real invention or innovation in theirs, the oldest cultures on Earth. So instead of focusing on the wonderful art, music and heritage of African societies, they feel compelled to invent a fake history, to show they are superior to the white oppressors. It is truly sad. But nothing is sadder than to see seemingly intelligent men like Kanye and Irving spout the Jew-hating, anti-white screeds of the idiots who stand on milk crates in Times Square (below) for decades. These clowns used to be mocked by all. But now thanks to these two celebs, these morons are being taken seriously, and that is bad news for all thinking people.

West is floridly bi polar and has publicly stated he has terminated all meds as they destroy his creativity. This unfortunate an is today effectively as crazy as a loon (with apologies to loons).

[DesertRhino]

This is like watching a protected mountain lion, attacking a protected bighorn sheep. What to do, what to do? LOL

[Telepathic Intruder]

Obama’s church taught that Jesus was a poor black man who was oppressed by rich white Jews. This is exactly the sort of thing liberals can get behind.

[jmacusa]

When I worked in NYC years ago I used to see these dudes and the Nation of Islam guys hawking their nonsense in the Port Authority bus terminal. No one ever paid any attention to them.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Given Kanye wore the “White Lives Matter” hoodie, some might beg to differ on him being anti-white.

[Telepathic Intruder]

"No one ever paid any attention to them."

At least while no one was looking. When people found out about Obama's church and his pastor Jeremiah Wright with all his antisemitism, communism, anti-Americanism, pro-Jihadism, etc., he quickly forgot he was ever there. Even though there were pictures of him smiling from the pews every Sunday.

New York or Hollywood can and should make a well-produced counter documentary of its own featuring all of the many Hollywood and New York celebrities, especially black ones, that it can, for a rebuttal. Simply suppressing it and crying anti-semitism is a great way to suggest credibility of the underground video to those who are curious.

We allow videos in this country to raise EVERYthing up for debate, including non-explicit films promoting pederasty in the name of free and open discourse.

Amazon isn’t legally obliged to allow the sale of this material, but then the door is opened wide for all parties to lodge their complaints, which is why we have the 1st Amendment at all.

Free speech is free speech. When there are limits on it, communists and other slimy people elbow their way into censorship jobs (take pre-Musk Twitter for example).

As an aside, when your enemy tells you what he wants to do to you, you can prepare yourself accordingly.

Ugly, racist, antisemitic, hateful speech and ideas exist. Better they are out in the open than hidden in secret agendas and meetings.

Of course, that's just my opinion.

[Big Brother Go to Hell]

Better to let them openly spew their nonsense and get ridiculed as the clowns they are, than censor them and feed into their conspiracy theories of “powerful Jews” “oppressing” them. Fresh air and sunlight eliminates mold...

[joma89]

A black fool and his money are soon parted.

[RoosterRedux]

Blacks blame Jews for keeping them in poverty, opening tv and furniture stores in ghettos.

Right.

Any nobody made people buy from those stores.

Same for Koreans that opened stores in ghettoes. If the residents weren't so busy feeding on the government teat, they could have opened their own stores. Instead, they vent their frustration on the courageous people who do try to serve their neighborhoods with retail shops.

As an aside, communists (and their enablers in the Democrat Party) have successfully sold this victimization crap to Blacks for a very long time. Blacks are quite capable of becoming successful businessmen but they have to throw off the shackles of those who want to keep them dependent.

[T.B. Yoits]

The utter hypocrisy of the NBA and the Nets - Kyrie Irving bad for tweeting a link to a movie on Amazon, but no problem with Jeff Bezos for selling the movie and no problem with the creators of it.

[jerod]

Congrats to them... They shouldn’t take it off their shelves... It’s akin to burning a book, and if you can buy mein kampf (and you can), or read it on the internets (and you can), then you should be able to sell nonsensical racist materials online as well.

The way to counter racism isn’t by pretending that it doesn’t or shouldn’t exist... It’s by enlightening people to the fact that it does and always has existed in every race, creed and culture on earth, and pointing to those people who are racist and saying... ‘See... These are the racist’.

You have to know who your enemy is... And racism is everybody’s enemy.

“Blacks blame Jews for keeping them in poverty”

Considering that 75% or so of Jewish people vote Democrat, and the Democrats lock black children into our public schools, seems to me that at least this thesis is correct.

[Cronos]

Al the Black Israelites who insist that sub saharan Africans are the real Israelites.

As nonsensical as the Anglo Israelism which insisted that Anglo Saxons were the real Israelites.

Or that aliens built the pyramids
