Kyrie Irving addresses allegations of antisemitism after controversial tweet

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 alleges Jews were 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.
