    ??? Anyone who clicked on Kyrie's link would see what that movie was about. Why would they need to watch it?

    Agreed. The title of it pretty much states the same thing as the Charlotteville's "fine folks" were shouting according to @Reeko (who apparently thinks that Trump's lack of condemnation had nothing to do with how long that story stayed in the public eye or how much of a boon it was for extremist groups in it's aftermath).

    It's a divisive and super sensitive topic for someone who doesn't actually associate himself with Black Hebrew Israelites (Irving is an "Omnist") to post and let 5 million people decide what to think of it. Awesome "education" by Kyrie.

    more nonsensical blabbing

    This u?

    Majority of us would likely have no clue what was happening in NC if not for Trump's comments

    laughable statement, and now you’ve pivoted to some other nonsense

    you’re all over the place

    What's wrong with it. I'm talking from a perspective of someone like me who doesn't watch news and gets them from word of mouth (or a random late night show).

    These views are more widespread than people would care to understand. Kyrie is just a doofus in how he expresses himself. No one cared when Kendrick said he’s an Israelite, don’t call him black no more.

    Believe whatever you want. I believe religion is all bullshit and next to social media on the list of most dangerous things to society. That said, I’m not going to push this belief on those that find solace in religion. I’m not going to use my social media platforms to support views that condemn a group of people. Unless it’s Jazz fans.

    Shouldn't a decent human being concern himself with feelings of millions of regular (mid to low income) Jews living in this country and being afraid of the movie's antisemetic statements stoking hate towards them? Should these Jews perhaps pay reparations, since the movie blames them to be culprits of slave trade? Should there be a Jew tax?

    All of these ideas naturally come up after watching movie promoted by an NBA superstar to millions of direct followers and then retweeted/reposted to millions of others who know of said superstar. And yet, this is not important enough to earn a suspension and requirement for some educational meetings in the eyes of certain posters here.

    Now the media and NBA need to showcase the purple / orange / green Israelites to the 99% and call it a day

    In true etymon / original definition Black means Pale(to bleach/white), and I bet 99% of the NBA followers don't know that as well

    Isn't it crazy that a guy would call for a master race then wipe out his own that look like him? Isn't that backwards thinking?

    He was given opportunities to clarify his views, but instead he doubled down.
