    Lame. That list reads like hostage demands.





    As an aside, I'm a consumer of all types of conspiracy theories and now I'm curious in whatever the heck Kyrie listens to. Anyone know? Not the Jews rule the world stuff, I've heard that 100s of times already, but the theory of Black people being the people of the Bible.

    Here is the Jew in his true colors, this is who Kanye has an issue with. Disguisting

    they promote and encourage hate among blacks including use of drugs and the n-word, but want to wash their hands clean of all fault when they are criticized

    Kyrie can claim that his 1st amendment rights are violated here. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech. He has the right to feel through his truth and research all angles. He doesn’t need to condemn the movie. He doesn’t need to apologize for watching it or tweeting it. Imagine if he was Israeli and required to condemn all Palestinian hate speech by his employer. Y’all see the double standards here?

    They
    They've asked him to do those things from the very beginning. He just had to say "no" to the question of whether he holds antisemitic views and meet some Jewish rabi.
    Now he has to meet the team owner and post apologies on an extra social media site. Not that big of an ask considering that the whole NBA has to save face now.
    For someone who is all about love and peace, it's very easy to reconcile within yourself being a "jewel" or whatever it is his non-native-american side believes and NOT being an antisemite. Or so one would think anyway.

    Choose not to work for said employer if you don't like it. Easy. Or... Sue his ass if you think you are in the right. SCOTUS is majority conservative - be the right wing version of Collin Kopernik. Maybe they'll throw out the hate speech exemption and send our country in total tailspin. Fun times

    An employer can’t punish you for your religious beliefs.

    To be fair, Kyrie thinking he’s chosen is just as asinine as Jews thinking they are chosen. There’s no sliding scale of religious freedom where Jews get more than everyone else.

    Kyrie is a Holocaust denier. He can promote his religion all he wants but he can't use it as an excuse to hate on others.

    Kkk a religion too?

    He hasn’t mentioned one word about the Holocaust.

    Using the Holocaust as a crutch for all Jewish arguments will eventually get you The Boy Who Cried Wolf results. Who cares if some people deny the Holocaust? We’re STILL denying the Armenian Christian genocide. People are allowed to think however they want. Some people think we didn’t land on the moon. Some people think the Ashkenazis were Nazis. Some people think Muslims are descendants of Ishmael. Some Jews believe anybody who isn’t Jewish is unclean.

    I could go on and on. You can’t control the narrative. That’s exactly what created WW2 in the first place.

    Huge reach.

    Kyrie has been given a week to figure out his PR problem. That's cause the guy got talent. Leonard dude on heat got zero time to rectify his issue despite his platform being non-existent.

    Talent over issues is always the case in capitalism.

    Why not find an example of a Jewish famous person that publically states that s/he "a chosen one" or in a secret society?

    Did Kanye mention anyone? Kanye only mentioned that Jewish executives are part of evil kabal that makes profitable deals for themselves. Another name for said kabal(sp?) is capitalism

    Kyrie promoted a movie to millions upon millions that is deemed to deny Holocaust. You seem to assume that he is professing raeligious views as a black Israelite although he didn't say that he was, so assuming is normal. Well, I assume that he is a Holocaust denier.

    How is this difficult to comprehend?

    “How can I be antisemetic when I know who I am.” Kyrie Irving

    you’re really good at not answering questions and just acting outraged about everything. If Jews were just going around worried about being human and not being so obsessed about being Jewish I don’t think anybody would give a damn about any of this anymore.

    There’s no such thing as an ethnic Jew, so don’t give me any of that.

    he already said he’s not a Holocaust denier…

    “And it’s not that I don’t believe in the Holocaust. I never said that. Never, ever have said it. It’s not come out of my mouth. I never tweeted it. I never liked anything like it. So the Holocaust in itself is an event that means something to a large group of people that suffered something that could have been avoided.”

    It is the same energy.

    The same people who find Kyrie's behavior unacceptable find Alex Jones unacceptable.
