Kyrie aligning with anti-Semites?
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/kyrie-irving-boosts-antisemitic-movie-190040241.html
Hours before another Brooklyn Nets loss on Thursday, noted “free-thinker” and basketball player Kyrie Irving took to Twitter to boost a movie and book, Hebrews to Negroes, stuffed with antisemitic tropes.
The 2018 film was directed by Ronald Dalton, Jr., and based upon his 2015 book of the same name. A description for the film states that it “uncovers the true identity of the Children of Israel,” while a similar one for the book reads, “Since the European and Arab slave traders stepped foot into Africa, blacks have been told lies about their heritage.” Both suggest Hebrews to Negroes espouse ideas in line with more extreme factions of the Black Hebrew Israelites, which have a long history of misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and especially antisemitism.
Yep. A nightmare has been unleashed and is spreading. This is apparently what happens when so many people try so often to cancel so many people for relatively minor stuff—someone was offended by a joke, god forbid, or made an analogy that offended leftist ideology—people seemingly have started to tune it out and/or are quietly resenting this walking-on-eggshells-wokeness—while a real monster has grown, is spreading and may eventually dominate (just read between the lines on some of the recent comments made by the orange guy about Jewish people in America, and how many times he has referred to Israel as “your country” when addressing Americans who happen to be Jewish—he’s done that for years and it’s beyond startling that some do not see what lurks at the end of this road if the orange guy makes a comeback…).
Just because the monster started with illegal immigrants does not mean it ends there or just socialists and ends there. It may steamroll over socialists then Jews then god-knows-who-next (maybe you, dear reader? Nobody is safe—just ask Mike Pence!). Anybody who was naive enough to think it would only be illegal immigrants/socialists is someone who has not paid attention to history and does not understand what happens when certain personalities are given centralized power…
Wise words everyone should remember, and hopefully it is not too late for America:
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
