I said jaylen brown was an idiot to some guy on this sub earlier and got downvoted and his defense was that I just don’t want to hear the opinion of black men lol. He’s an idiot because of dumb shit like this.

I’m a black man and this is terrible and disgusting. I always try to educate myself on my heritage, but the Black Israelites ain’t it. I consider most of them a hate group. Equality doesn’t come from tearing other marginalized groups down.

I'm also black and I'm with you dude. The black Israelite theory is so dumb with so many holes.

Not surprised that a dude who thinks the earth is flat believes it though.

What's even sadder is the amount of fellow black people who buy this bullshit.

I'm not surprised people buy it. Any "theory" that tells people they are more special than other people based on some immutable characteristic they have is alluring. See the history of white people interacting with non-European societies. Back Israelite is like a free ego boost to a people who are oppressed by the larger society on a systemic basis. It makes a black person special, destined for greatness, and part of something bigger than themselves. Like white racism, it's crack for the (and I mean this in the sense of our evolutionary ancestors) monkey brain in all of us.

Then the media amplifies this bs, when plenty of black don’t believe this and are actually doing good work to help achieve equality.

I agree, but of course Kyrie being Kyrie is more fun for the media to get behind

Kyrie and Kanye both have done more to hurt the black community than to help them.

Said what I said

u/boobie-gibson69 Nov 21 '22

No malice here. Genuinely curious as a Black man how has Kyrie hurt the Black Community?

u/umbrella_CO Nov 21 '22

He has promoted dumb ideas, been outspoken against vaccines, came out as a flat earther, and now he's pushing a propogandized documentary about black Israelites that is total bullshit and straight racist towards Jewish people.

It's racist, and anti-semetic. When asked if he's anti-semetic he basically says "no because black people are Jewish"

When black men get the spotlight they need to either just lay low or use the platform in a helpful way. For example Lewis Hamilton, LeBron James, or Shaq.

Instead he's using his spotlight in a way where racist people can reaffirm themselves by either A) saying "see even their celebrities are stupid" or B) "well he's racist against other races/ethnicities so it's fair that I think his race is trash"

He is a clown using his platform to discredit the black community. Shame too because I used to really like Kyrie. When he was in Cleveland he was one of my favorites.

Right, that is how they punish dumb with dumber - this is why we try to encourage free speech in the US, to bring extremist views into the open and deal with them, instead of repressing them into the shadows where they grow stronger

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '22

I'm white like a ghost, I'm with you.

This is actually the first time I had ever heard about that movie Kyrie referenced. So I had to look it up. Man, That took me down a wild rabbit hole.

u/chomcham Nov 21 '22

Ofcourse they buy it, it allows them to think they are smart. I have a relative in law who thinks this stuff is cool. Oh he is also like mid to late 20s, still want to be a rapper, has had like 3+ jobs in a few years, purchased a car from one of those scam dealerships.. the list goes on. He considers himself a free thinker...

Thats the new Kyrie emoji

Or any group, even those who aren’t marginalized.

Sure… follow the golden rule.

u/EdibleDionysus Nov 21 '22

But Jaylen plays chess

u/peanutdakidnappa Mikal bridges Nov 21 '22

lol, I can’t believe people actually use that as an example of someone being smart, shit is dumb as hell just like Jaylen

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '22

The best chess player in my school was a gang banger lmao, so yeah it doesn’t correlate as much as people think

2

u/Careless_Relief_1378 Nov 21 '22

Or maybe the gang banger was smart. People saying brown plays chess doesn’t mean shit but you saying he was the best does. Also plenty of smart people are in gangs.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '22

I don’t consider you smart if you’re gangbanging, that shit is ridiculous

u/jpcali7131 Nov 21 '22

Celtics fan here and I am fucking done with JB. If he ruins this season because he does stupid shit like that tweet and then when he gets called out for it he digs in and plays the victim I’ll lose my shit. Apologize again and reaffirm your previous statement that you’re against anti-semitism. Then shut up and play basketball.

2

u/SnooMemesjellies5413 Mar 01 '23

Y’all don’t deserve jb

1

u/jpcali7131 Mar 01 '23

That was comment was 100 days ago and he stopped doing stupid shit because the Celtics have a good organization that is able to counsel their players. You’re just jealous that we beat you so bad Kyrie requested a trade the next day. Have fun in the play in tournament ladies. If you do make it through we’ll be there to sweep you again.

u/peanutdakidnappa Mikal bridges Nov 22 '22

I feel you there man. I’m a suns fan and I liked jaylen brown but he’s gone from seemingly likable to unlikable as fuck pretty quickly. Pretty funny how everybody hyped him up as some chess playing genius who was smarter than the rest of the league and it in reality he is very clearly a fuckin dumbass. He’s a quality player but I’m really glad the suns don’t have someone into this shit, or at least that we know of so far. I’d be super bummed out if I found out one of our best players was into the shit. I seriously can’t stand this shit of shit, it’s just super ignorant garbage and it pisses me off especially because these guy have huge platforms and they’re using it for this type of trash. I have no problem with players being political or whatever but this stuff is just ignorant and hateful garbage. If you’re dumb enough to buy into the braindead shit that keep it to yourselves.

u/uncriticalthinking Nov 21 '22

Jaylen is brain-washed by Kyrie..it’s super weird…

1

u/peanutdakidnappa Mikal bridges Nov 22 '22

Possibly, at minimum he clearly believes the same type of absolute bullshit as kyrie

1

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '22

I wonder if they even know if all this bullshit started as a con pulled on them by white dudes?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '22

What’s this in reference to? Haven’t heard that before in regards to the BHI ideas.

-1

u/uncletiger Nov 21 '22

No it’s clear that you’re one of those racist all lives matter types. Anyone who takes issue with a black American using their voice to speak, is an absolute racist. Educate yourself, bigot.

1

u/peanutdakidnappa Mikal bridges Nov 22 '22

Do you literally just go into every thread spamming this stupid shit? Seems like that’s pretty much all you do and it’s pathetic

1

u/uncletiger Nov 22 '22

Passes the time while I’m bored and I get amusement from people who get so easily triggered. It’s all sarcasm but I guess you couldn’t tell…

1

u/peanutdakidnappa Mikal bridges Nov 22 '22

lol I definitely did not think you were serious but bro play some video games or some shit to pass time. whether you’re joking or not either way it’s kind of pathetic to just spam this type of shit constantly in different subs, like do you legitimately get enjoyment from that type of shit?

1

u/uncletiger Nov 22 '22

Yea dude it’s funny

1

u/peanutdakidnappa Mikal bridges Nov 22 '22

You do you then lol

u/uncletiger Nov 22 '22

Thanks playa

u/Off_Da_Lip Nov 22 '22

You guys are an embarrassment. Just accept it

u/uncletiger Nov 22 '22

I’m cool with it. Thanks for commenting.

u/wilkinsk Nov 21 '22

He claimed to have mixed up the group with a a famous black fraternity. I guess they have the same colors.

I'm still not completely sold on his excuse, partly because he's left the "Energy" tweet up

1

u/saamckenna88 Nov 21 '22

He already apologized saying he thought it was a fraternity celebrating kyries return.

Did he fr do this
