The 2018 film, titled"Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America" and based on a 2014 book of the same name, claims that Jewish people dominated the slave trade and that the Holocaust never happened.
Earlier this week, NBA player Kyrie Irving tweeted a link to the film. His team, the Brooklyn Nets, then . Irving has since deleted the tweet and, following widespread condemnation in the media and by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, apologized for promoting the film.petition"Amazon has a critical role to play in ensuring Americans do not consume hate-filled propaganda and misinformation," the petition reads."We are grateful that, as recently as January of this year, Amazon removed more than twenty Nazi propaganda films and other antisemitic content to stop the spread of hate.
As of Friday, the three-hour movie is available on Amazon for $40 and can be rented for $11. The book, which is on sale for $35, is a currently the No. 1 seller in Amazon's religion and spirituality category. Ted Deutch, American Jewish Committee's CEO, tweeted on Friday that the film is"now on Amazon's bestseller lists."Kyrie Irving shared antisemitic content on social media and has since been suspended.
We’re cool with censorship now?
This is America..! FREEDOM OF SPEECH..! if you don’t like it….Don’t WATCH IT..! only fascist would want to suppress peoples speech and or expression …..
Let me watch it and I will decide for myself. Keep an open mind.
'Public pressure?' Which 17 snowflakes are complaining?
Can we put that same energy towards punishing politicians for selling similar lies via political ads, rallies & floor speeches? Can we make public lies illegal?
Wait Kyrie is being effectively cancelled right now for posting it and Amazon actually SELLS it
Agreed! Why is Kyrie facing all this backlash for posting a link- when it is Amazon that sells the film? Where are their consequences? Seems like such a double standard to me
Really? Really mfkers?
Wow amazing
This is a slippery slope. GOP are trying to ban a ton of books about the LGBTQ2 people that they find offensive. Calls to ban books and movies.. Where does it end?
Just to be clear it’s cool for Amazon to sell it just can’t let KyrieIrving talk about it
They’re pulling books and now movies. OK! Music can’t be far behind. 🙄
The “Streisand Effect” will now take over.
What is the Title name to the movie?
It's complete lies by a hate group, so yes. It should be pulled down. The black isrealites are a legitimacy hate group
🤣🤣. CancelAmazon. amazon NBA 🤦♂️
Guess Jews are higher up on the food chain than blacks…. It’s all really ridiculous.
What is it these people don’t understand about free speech that they think they can just shut anything down that they do not like? The SC has said there can be no hate speech just speech you do not like.
The mental gymnastics around race exhibited in this country makes my head hurt.
Fragility detected.
With all the negro and slave movies out there, that's ok? Yet they want this documentary taken down? No, it's a free country. You chose what you do & don't want to watch. You can't control ppl. This has gone too far.
Freedom of speech is almost meaningless these days
Mind your business. Stop trying to control what others do or say.
If people are successful in their efforts to censor speech, they will never stop.
Amazon doesn't give a crap as long as there is $ to be made.
Doesn't the US have laws against racism like in Europe?
