Kyrie Irving and the case of the Black Hebrew Israelites

Our Inner Voices

👋 Today I’m speaking on Kyrie Irving and his recent suspension by the Nets. He’s been suspended for sharing a link to a documentary on Amazon prime that has anti-semitic talking points and holocaust denial as well as claims about the origins of black people. Don’t bother checking for it, it’s $50 😂 I try to approach this topic with some sensitivity and nuance. If white people can do ancestry tests that say they’re partly from African nations, why can’t a black man in the US believe his ancestors were Hebrew Israelites? Let’s discuss. Bonus: freestyle at the end of episode (from 27:30) (I know I should write more instead of freestyling).
