First off, Kyrie Irving never made antisemitic statements, he was persecuted by the ADL for posting a link to a documentary about ancient Black Hebrews and discussing claims about The Thirteenth Tribe. He never even commented on the video.
Irving was forced to apologize; was suspended by the NBA; lost his relationship with NIKE, etc etc.
The ADL treated Irving like he was a slave on their plantation - they tried to "break" him.
Black folks must remember that it is very profitable to the ADL when they publicly go after the Black community. The anti-black racism in the Jewish community is such that whenever the ADL targets us, donations to the organization pour in.
Please remember that the ADL has always gone after independent Black leaders like Elijah Muhammad, helped destroy Marcus Garvey, destroyed the reputation of Stokely Carmichael, the Black Panthers, gone after Afrocentric scholars like Dr Ben, Dr Clarke, Dr Van Sertima, Prof. Jeffries & Prof. James Smalls, got Prof Tony Martin fired etc etc. Lately they've had their operatives in academia go after the father of Ta-Nehisi Coates for selling Afrocentric literature etc. That's the history, but most Black folks don't it!
YET, they've always given white antisemites a pass, especially if they support Israel, both Donald Trump and now Elon Musk are examples.
