Kyrie Irving addresses his support of antisemitic movie
Kyrie Irving on Saturday addressed his support of a movie that contains antisemitic messages, pleading ignorance.
On Thursday, Irving tweeted a link to the movie “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake up Black America.”
Rolling Stone wrote an article outlining all the different ways the movie, which is based on a book, espouses false and damaging narratives about Jews. The book and film accuse Jews of being responsible for the Black slave trade, among other lies.
A day after Irving promoted the documentary that shares antisemitic views, Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai called out the point guard via Twitter.
