I just thought this line was really fucking weird:

"I know the Jewish people have been through some terrible things all over the world. But you can't blame that on Black Americans."

and that is referencing Kyrie having to apologize and whatever else the NBA wants him to do. It's just odd. Kyrie is not "Black Americans" he is a pretty vocal anti-semitic black guy. He's not being taken to task for being black, it's because he is anti semitic. Any other player in the NBA who posted/said what he did would face the same repercussions. Same with Kanye - if Taylor Swift went "Deathcon 3 on the Jews" she would face the same backlash. The idea that Jews are "blaming black Americans" for anything is absurd and if that was an attempt at a joke I guess I really missed it.
