Kyrie Irving posted a picture of the poster of the film “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” on his Twitter, causing the reaction of Brooklyn Nets and club owner Joe Tsai due to the antisemitic themes of the book that the movie is based on.
Tsai wrote the following on Twitter:
“I’m disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation. 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.”
The Nets issued the following statement: “The Brooklyn Nets strongly condemn and have no tolerance for the promotion of any form of hate speech. “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.”
“Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” is a 2015 book by Ronald Dalton Jr. which was made into a film by the author in 2018. According to Amazon’s description, “The Movie ‘Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” uncovers the true identity of the Children of Israel by proving the true ethnicity of Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Sons of Ham, Shem & Japheth. Find out what Islam, Judaism and Christianity has covered up for centuries in regards to the true biblical identity of the so-called “Negro” in this movie packed with tons of research.'”
According to a story by Rolling Stone, the book, makes an assumption of a connection “between Lucifer, Satan Freemansory and Judaism” while mentioning that, “Interesting enough, in earlier years, many Jews and European Scottish/York Freemasons have claimed that they worship Satan or Lucifer. Many famous high-ranking Jews and Freemasons have written books admitting to this.”
Per the Rolling Stone:
“The book also quotes the infamous antisemitic hoax, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It includes a laundry list of industries — from banking to book publishing — that European Jews allegedly dominate before stating, “Using control of our money and the Mass Media, the European Jews gained control of our thinking…” Elsewhere, the book refers to the “Jewish controlled news media.”
So far there hasn’t been any reaction by the NBA on Irving’s tweet.
