So when did Kyrie said that he believes what was in the movie? I thought he just linked to it without commentary on his social? This situation is starting to evolve into hearsay

I don’t agree with this take. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander . This isn’t a random bookstore in a small town. This is the biggest company in the world who could have easily pulled the book in question, not because they really care, they don’t but because of the media storm. Having said this I don’t believe in book banning or unreasonable censorship and I think Kyrie is a smart dumb nikka. I’m not anti-Semitic and believe everyone should be able to enjoy this world without hate, I just care about the hypocrisy. If Jewish folks can press Kyrie for this book then they could press Amazon to remove all anti-Semitic material. They are a private company and could have done it yesterday.

Didn’t Kyrie stated that he was not anti-semitic at that press conference so why are we clowning him?
It’s literally “I’m white and I say so.”
Kyrie says he doesn’t hate anyone, explains exactly how he found the movie and why he posted the link, says he’s not antisemitic, and a group of white people still want to tell us he’s an antisemite.

Anything you share online you are either for or against.
Kyrie stood on his square and backtracked at the same time.
If a white guy posted a book about some racist shyt would you be like:
“nah he just posted a racist book, he’s not racist”
Now i don’t think Kyrie is an antisemite, just a damn dummy that doesn’t think shyt through or even understand wtf he’s trying to say.
But some people ain’t go give a fukk about that distinction. He posted the shyt gotta live with what that brings. Maybe he will learn this time.
They're the biggest bookstore in the world and they've had a long-term policy of selling a billion books on both sides of every issue. They've been calledout by it before, but it is what it is.
I think it's fine to criticize that stance, but having a book in your bookstore isn't the same as promoting it's views yourself, and being the biggest bookstore in the world actually means you show more perspectives, not fewer.
Amazon HAS been pressed by Jewish folk to remove anti-semitic material, many many times. It happens all the time.

Claiming that Jewish folk have never pressed Amazon for this shyt is just false. They press them all the time. But it's still obviously true that no bookseller believes or supports every book in their bookstore, and that there isn't equivilence between having a book in your bookstore and actually pushing the ideas in that book.
Tom Brady had a Trump hat in his locker and no one in the mainstream media called him a racist, hell they wouldn’t even call him a Trump supporter.If a white guy posted a book about some racist shyt would you be like:

I agree Kyrie needs to be smarter in general, but there’s an obvious double standard here

Kyrie posted a link with zero commentary, and he has been labeled as antisemitic.
I disagree with this. If you carry something in your store in my opinion, you at least tolerate its contents . So are you saying any book,no matter how offensive or vile shouldn’t be held against the book store owner. I’m getting extreme here for the sake of this argument,but let’s say someone from NAMBLA wrote a book, I’m not even sure if any have, but if it existed should a shop owner not get heat for having it. And I’m not talking about illegal things like cp in this book but a fictional book that’sThey're the biggest bookstore in the world and they've had a long-term policy of selling a billion books on both sides of every issue.

Tom brady did have to answer for that hat and he immediately distanced himself from that shyt.
