That's an awfully Spanish-sounding name you got there, Fuentes. Be a real shame if the party that elected its last president on a platform of hating Mexicans came for you next.

The most vocals parts of the GOP exist in a perpetual "now". If they thought ahead, they wouldn't be in the GOP.

Kyrie Irving Boosts Antisemitic Movie Peddling 'Jewish Slave Ships'

Kyrie Irving tweeted out a link the movie 'Hebrews to Negroes.' It's based on a book which claims that "many famous high-ranking Jews" have "admitted" to "worship[ing] Satan or Lucifer."

Hours before another Brooklyn Nets loss on Thursday, noted “free-thinker” and basketball player Kyrie Irving took to Twitter to boost a movie and book, Hebrews to Negroes, stuffed with antisemitic tropes.

The 2018 film was directed by Ronald Dalton, Jr., and based upon his 2015 book of the same name. A description for the film states that it “uncovers the true identity of the Children of Israel,” while a similar one for the book reads, “Since the European and Arab slave traders stepped foot into Africa, blacks have been told lies about their heritage.” Both suggest Hebrews to Negroes espouse ideas in line with more extreme factions of the Black Hebrew Israelites, which have a long history of misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and especially antisemitism.

Actually, I think it's a symptom of whatever is going on in his head. He's not well and I don't think he's getting treatment. I always thought his 'George Bush doesn't care about Black People' comment sounded a bit 'off' back in the day(despite the fact that it is probably true, I think it was the way he said it). I know if I had his kind of money, I'd be getting treatment for my anxiety(and other) issues as we speak.

Yeah, between him, Scott Adams, and the Sinfest guy, I'm starting to think that some people just have a natural tendency towards extremism of any sort, and will just as eagerly side with one extreme as its diametric opposite.

I knew Scott Adams went off the deep end, but it's been a minute since I've looked at Sinfest. He went nuts too? That's disappointing.

The Sinfest guy ended up turning into a TERF and turned his comic into a mouthpiece for the position.

It's always disappointing to find out the creators of something you like are assholes.

I do not ascribe to the thought that you can separate the artist from the art. I refuse to give money to bigots.

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Sadly, the only way to deal with that kind of person is to stop consuming the content. Even if the content doesn't match the positions of the creator, you're still supporting the hate.

Edit: spelling. This is what I get for typing first thing in the morning.

How long is a minute? Because he was kinda nuts during his "feminist" phase too. Just the complete opposite kind of nuts. That's why I brought him up; just like Kanye, he always gave off the impression of being prone to extreme ideas, even before he did a 180 on which kind of extreme ideas he subscribed to. (And while I personally never read Sinfest during its first phase, I haven't heard a lot of great things about it either. To the point where, if you didn't know about his ultra-feminist phase, his abrupt turn into Trumpism might actually be less surprising.)

Unless I'm getting him mixed up with someone else, he was already railing against more progressive feminists even when he called himself a feminist, so not exactly a 180.

Uh, it's been quite a few years. Honestly, I'd forgotten about it. Enjoyed it when I first found it, but life happened.

Is this person not just a regular Nazi?

We’ve been having Nazi’s saying Heil Hitler in public since WWII.

Dumb as shit but it’s not like this is some Rubicon that has been crossed.
