THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ABOUT ANTISEMITISM, THE PROBLEM IS ALSO ABOUT RACISM...CHRISTIAN WHITE AMERICAN RACISM.

​LET'S GO THERE AND GET A FEW THINGS STRAIGHT IN THE PROCESS. 
What Kyrie Irving said and posted, is offensive, and stupid, and the Jewish community obviously has every right to be offended. They should also be offended by the author who wrote the book in question, offended by Amazon for selling the book, and offended by those responsible for the film.

However, something is awry when White folks can go after a star NBA player, who happens to be Black, and not go after Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Steve Bannon, FOX Channel, ron desantis, donald trump, White Republicants running for elected office, and allow sitting White Republicant members of Congress like Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Matt Gaetz and other garden variety racists to say the most disgusting, offensive, antisemitic, and racist things, and not open their collective mouths.

Yet as a Black person in these Un-United States of America I am not surprised at White America's hypocrisy and White America's silence.

You have racist White elected officials hanging on every word of a racist loser former president but who are afraid to say he is wrong for his racism because they are afraid to get on the "bad side" of his racist base.

White America, the NFL, the NBA, and White Christians get all riled up about everything but Christian White American racism. In this case, everyone is upset, and rightfully so, against a Pro basketball player who should have known better.

I get upset too, as a Black man, who has fought and had to deal with racism, discrimination, bigotry, bias, and segregation ALL OF MY natural life.
I get upset too seeing this racist and hypocritical White country go into apoplexy about antisemitism, and not racism, which White America created.
I get upset too as I watch America excoriate Colin Kaepernick because he had the nerve to protest White American Christian Racism which we can see every day as a “Clear and Present Danger.”

But, why is it no one was equally upset when:
trump said, “sh*t hole countries” referring to Black and Brown nations;
ron desantis said “monkey it up” in a code word message about Andrew Gillums and his supporters;
United States senator Tommy Tuberville said, “Democrats are pro-crime because all Blacks are criminals. They want crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparation because they think the people that do the crime are owed that;”
Paul Ryan, who said publicly he "faulted lazy black men for inner-city poverty," despicable racist stereotyping;
Newt Gingrich labeled Obama "The greatest food stamp President in American history,” a racist remark clearly designed to rile up White America;
Sarah Palin wrote on her Facebook wall: "President Obama's shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end;"
(“Shucking and jiving” have long been words used as a negative racist assessment of Blacks and especially men, along the lines of a “foot shufflin’ Negro.” In fact, I don’t recall ever hearing the phrase used in reference to anyone White.)
AND racist Republicant voter suppression tactics. The trump racist Republicant party has been actively pursuing the non-existent problem of voter fraud. Republicans have instituted various forms of voter suppression aimed at preventing Blacks from voting because Blacks are more inclined to vote for Democrats than racist Republicants;
Couple that with the racist rants that dribble from the lips daily of White Republicants in Congress and governor’s offices throughout racist America, AND, the many racist words from racist Republicants who speak at racist political rallies and attend racist conventions.
The insulting and disrespectful ways racist Republicants are trying to rewrite American History to not make White Americans feel uncomfortable for their racist treatment of Blacks THROUGHOUT American History is one of the cornerstones of their racist Christian American Strategy. Not to make Whites uncomfortable with the truth of how their White ancestors mistreated and enslaved my Black ancestors is brazenly pathetic and racist itself.
​
So yes, I am offended by what Kyrie Irving said.
BUT, I am ALSO offended daily by Christian White American racism then and now, White American racists then and now, and White America’s dishonest, incomplete and racist history, THEN AND NOW.

If we are to be offended by antisemitism, then we should also be EQUALLY offended by Christian White America’s incessant racism---YET NO ONE SAYS A WORD.
