Re: Hello Dante? What Level Is This?
Words matter. And this is a direct result of the demonization of the "others" in politics.

NewsCorp, trump and the GOP are 100% responsible for this. I'm able to see their point of view and it's irrational, dishonest, and a load of crap.

Brooklyn Nets condemn Kyrie Irving’s promotion of antisemitic film
Nets owner disappointed Irving backed antisemitic work
Irving, 30, could be in final season with Brooklyn club
Associated Press
Sat 29 Oct 2022 18.20 BST
Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai said Friday he is disappointed that Kyrie Irving appears to support a film “based on a book full of antisemitic disinformation”.
The Nets’ star guard posted a link for the film “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” on Twitter on Thursday. The synopsis on Amazon said the film “uncovers the true identity of the Children of Israel.”
Tsai and the Nets reacted quickly to the latest trouble stirred up by Irving, who had previously supported the idea of the Earth being flat and last month on social media shared an old clip from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
“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,” Tsai wrote on Twitter regarding Irving.
Irving was unavailable for most of the Nets’ home games last season because he refused to be vaccinated against Covid-19, as was mandated in New York City. The Nets then declined to give him a contract extension this summer, meaning Irving could be in his final season with the team.
“The Brooklyn Nets strongly condemn and have no tolerance for the promotion of any form of hate speech,” the team said in a statement. “We believe that in these situations, our first action must be open, honest dialogue. We thank those, including the ADL, who have been supportive during this time.”

Find Abdul Jabbar's comments on Kyrie from a couple of weeks ago. As always, Kareem was completely spot on.

Then there was this during a CFB game.

Truly can't think of any intelligent comment, opinion or concept about this. It is that mind boggling, to me.
