First, Kyrie Irving did nothing really wrong. He saw a documentary movie that talked about the roots of the enslavement of African people, and the involvement of many in it, including Jews, but also Muslims and collaborators among the Africans.
Maybe the movie exaggerated the role of Jews or promoted collective guilt of Jews or in some other way was anti-Semitic. I don’t know. I didn’t see the movie. But, the movie has been labeled as anti-Semitic and any mention of it has become beyond the pale. We, as conservatives, don’t think that way. We don’t, for example, think guilt is passed through the blood to future generations; and, we don’t believe the elite gets to label works of art or scientific expression as forbidden or as mandatory.
Getting back to Irving, he has already apologized for causing hurt among our Jewish brothers. The idea that he needs “sensitivity training” sounds ridiculous to me; but, I’d prefer some form of reconciliation than a lifetime ban.
That was his first mistake. When the jackals demand an apology, nothing is ever good enough. Best bet is to tell them to bugger off.
