Nets condemn Kyrie Irving's promotion of antisemitic film.

[Greenbacks]

NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai issued a statement Friday night condemning guard Kyrie Irving's decision to promote an antisemitic film and book on his social media accounts.
"I'm disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-Semitic disinformation," Tsai tweeted. "I want to sit down and make sure he understands this is hurtful to all of us, and as a man of faith, it is wrong to promote hate based on race, ethnicity or religion."
As Rolling Stone initially reported in an article earlier Friday, Irving promoted a movie called "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America" that, as the magazine points out, is "stuffed with antisemitic tropes."
Irving posted a tweet Thursday that linked out to the film's Amazon page. The movie, which was released in 2018, is based on a 2015 book by the same name.
"The Brooklyn Nets strongly condemn and have no tolerance for the promotion of any form of hate speech," the team said in a statement on Friday. "We believe that in these situations, our first action must be open, honest dialogue. We thank those, including the ADL (Anti-Defamation League), who have been supportive during this time."
Irving has not yet addressed the decision to promote the book and the movie. The Nets play the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.

I cannot find the tweet anymore but I think he didn't say anything but simply tweeted out a link to the film's amazon page, which is already a form of promotion.

“In the pages of Mein Kampf Hitler presented the world with his dark vision for the future. Years would pass before he attained the power to realize that vision, but Mein Kampf’s existence denies the free world the excuse of ignorance. We dismissed him as a madman and we ignored his wretched book; the result was a tragedy of unprecedented proportions. This is yet another lesson to take from Mein Kampf: the lesson of vigilance and responsibility, of not closing our eyes to the evil around us.”—From the introduction by Abraham Foxman

Show me similar books that benefit any other group
If you know who Jared Taylor is they banned his book white identity
You should listen to the guy for 5 minutes
Smart guy
Grew up in Japan
Nothing hateful about the guy but he speaks too much truth
That is who needs to be silenced
Notice it is usuallly the dumbest most hateful people they let speak because they are irrelevant or actually beneficial to their narrative often
If you make sense and are not hateful and violent.....shut up

People take shots at James harden and other players they say play no defense, but Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant don't care about playing D anymore either.

Irving takes responsibility for the tweet and is going to donate $500,000.

"To promote education within our community, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets will each donate $500,000 toward causes and organizations that work to eradicate hate and intolerance in our communities. The Nets and Kyrie Irving will work with ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), a nonprofit organization devoted to fighting antisemitism and all types of hate that undermine justice and fair treatment for every individual. This is an effort to develop educational programming that is inclusive and will comprehensively combat all forms of antisemitism and bigotry."
