Gah damn, yeah this can’t be a black website

Some of y’all are so go along to get along it’s disgusting

Reading this thread you would think it’s Reddit

Yea it’s nasty in here lmao

But it’s the same way on twitter idk what’s going on with Black People. It’s these new internet/social media blacks. I call them “App Blacks”

This dumb ass shyt.

If it’s being promoted on amazon then how is that demographics thoughts being policed?

Crazy how supposed black “free thinkers” always end up aligned with the views of conservative cacs

You like where he's headed?

I can promise you if he continues down this path, it's gonna cost him millions and likely out of the NBA, altogether. Players have been blackballed for much less. His only saving grace is he's one of the best players in the game; as soon as teams don't feel like that's worth keeping him over the problems he brings, well, his time in the league will come to an end.

Money isn't everything lil homie

I know we’re in a brave new world with social media but help my slow ass understand how Kyrie’s tweeting about this movie and book, without comment, amounts to him promoting it. I’m not trying to be obtuse; I just don’t get it. Explain to me like I’m muthafukking 10 years old.

Ok.

I post a picture of myself on IG wearing shirt with Kobe's face on it (fourth slide). No caption.

"Where'd you get the shirt?" someone asks
"Got from a store at Swaggy P's shop at 45th Coli Street" I reply

That person goes to the store and sees the shirt and purchases it. That's promotion. They liked what they saw and went to purchase. My promotion of the shirt worked, whether it was initial or not.

As I said in my original post, I can post a picture of a restaurant (or food) and tag the restaurant on the post. Anyone can click on the tagged link, see the location and see what others have posted by tagging the restaurant. Same breh who asked about the shirt can go their to eat with his old lady.

Lebron can pretend to read a book and get asked about it from reporters. Someone will Google that book name and look into it and consider purchasing it or just looking it up. Someone, somewhere looked up the film and book Kyrie posted and said: Kyrie is into his heritage, speaks well and as a fellow African myself I appreciate him

So that person, who may or may not have a bias mindset, can see that book/film purchase (or rent) it and be promoted with bad intent because the book/film is said to be filled with anti-semitism and misinformation. That promotion may work on that fellow African, shirt breh or anyone else and Kyrie can't at it because he has thousands, if not millions of people watching what he does online as opposed to me with a handful watching.

Hope that helped.

He sort of has a point but it's not a 1-to-1 comparison. First off, Amazon gets criticized on an annual basis for selling stuff with anti-semitic viewpoints, just google "amazon" and "anti-semitic" and you get all sorts of stories. Second, you don't expect anyone who runs a bookstore to believe the thesis of every single book they sell. So unless you believe that anti-semitic books should be straight up banned and burned, Amazon having it available isn't the same as if Jeff Bezos went public saying, "I believe this movie is true and think you should watch it."

He's claiming that Amazon is a "demographic" whose thoughts "aren't policed", but who the fukk thinks that the books and movies sold on Amazon represent any particular demographic's thoughts? Does he believe Jeff Bezos personally only picks the material he agrees with to allow on the site?

You can buy Hebrew Israelite books on Amazon and you can buy anti-Hebrew Israelite books on Amazon. That doesn't mean they support one or the other.

This is the reporter that was trying to press Kylie further.
Nick Friedell got his start in Chicago on ESPN 1000 in the early 2000s, and these are the opinions he holds:

Might already be time for his annual break

Reading this thread you would think it’s Reddit

These the same people who call Stephen A Smith a c00n when he’s just like them. A bunch of company men who don’t wanna upset their boss.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

The irony of this Kyrie Irving shyt is that the media is giving that doc WAY MORE promotion than it would’ve had otherwise. Nobody who saw the screenshot on his IG was bout to sit down and watch it.

There's a reason why you see on blue check Twitter bio's someone will say "RT doesn't mean endorsement" or something to that affect to cover their ass. But a RT is literally an endorsement of someones viewpoint in the marketplace of ideas.

 

[good pups]

[Mindfield333]
