Last week, NBA star Kyrie Irving tweeted an Amazon link to a 2018 documentary called “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America.”

The film, which is based on a book of the same name, is based on the ideology of the antisemitic Black Hebrew Israelite movement.

Amid backlash, instead of taking down and apologizing for the tweet, Irving doubled down on support for the film.
