Greetings Mr. Silver,

 

Most people who follow Zionist Affairs are familiar with the name Jonathan Greenblatt. He is the head of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith and was prominent in the attack on Kyrie Ervin for tweeting a link to a movie based on a book that Greenblatt felt was antisemitic.  When Kyrie Ervin initially refused to apologize for tweeting that link, you and Nets Owner Joseph Tsai denounced him.   

 

Joseph Tsai an Asian, owner of the NETS with a first name from the Torah voluntarily offered to donate $500,000 dollars of the New York Nets money to the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith.  This is 10 times the amount, you sir, fined a player by the name of Meyers Leonard for using the unholy grail of slurs among Jews, the word, “Kike.”   

 

Meyers said this word during a video game. Is the ADL monitoring the NBA players video games as well as tweets?  No matter, lets suspend disbelief for a moment and say that in a world all too full of such offenses with people using the words Nigger and Bitch in the music, the literature and the American culture in general, as if those were the birth names of Black men and women, the word Kike is worth $50,000.

 

THEN HOW DOES KYRIES TWEET MERIT $500,000 Dollars of the Fan’s Money.

After you have processed that, perhaps, you are ready to look more carefully at this fine/donation the owner of the Nets imposed on the team of $500,000 for Kyries “TWEET.”   

 

His TWEET!  In the same world where Justin Volpe now is free, was fined $525 and charged $267,000 in restitution for his role in the barbaric assault of Abner Louima. The question remains WHY half a million dollars for tweeting a link. At first glance you might say it does not make sense but when you believe in the maxim that everything makes sense and that if it seems not to make sense, you just don’t have enough information, then you will search for the sense that it makes.

 

CONFLICT OR CONGRUENCE OF INTERESTS

Let’s dig a little.  Joseph Tsai and Jonathan Greenblatt are co-founders of the Asian American Foundation It was formed in 2021 with the help of the Anti-Defamation League. Greenblatt was just replaced on the board of the Asian American Foundation a few weeks ago by Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine. She is Asian but she is a member of Congregation Kehillath Israel of Brookline, a conservative synagogue just west of Boston.  She is also a board member of the ADL. 

 

So, Joseph Tsai deciding to assess the cost of Black Tweeting at $500,000 sent the money for all intents and purposes to his fellow co-founder, (it’s too early to say co-conspirator).  What was, or should have been, and what should not have been, your role in this, Sir? Why didn’t you say whoa, hold stop don’t for a tweet pay 10 times the rate that we have in the past charged for the worst anti-Jewish slur possible.

 

WHAT ABOUTISM?

Here is a better question why haven’t you or Joseph Lacob the owner of the Golden State Warriors assessed the value of a fine for another NBA player, Mr. Stephen Curry for producing, not tweeting, producing sir, the vile, violent, racist, disrespectful cartoon, Netflix’s Good Times Reboot.  If a tweet of a link to a movie is worth $500,000. What’s the fine for NBA Player producing a movie which calls Black People NIGGERS, calls Black women, BITCHES, ridicules a Black girl’s first Menses with a dream sequence of her flicking menstrual blood at her class mates and features a Black Man Styled as an Ape having Sex with a Black Woman.  Why haven’t you assessed the penalty for that. Unless you say you were unaware of these insults, the fact may be that you have assessed what should be the appropriate penalty. 

 

Maybe with your silence you are saying that  although the hint of an insult to a Jew is worth $500,000 dollars, the gravest insult imaginable to every Black person in America is worth zero.   

 

Maybe you are saying that your only concern is insults to those of your own religion and Ethnicity.  With respect to the apparent conflict of interest and transfer of wealth between associates, Mr. Tsai and Greenblatt, maybe that’s also not a concern of the Commissioners Office.

 

Maybe the Justice Department will agree with you. After all its just money collected from the fans.  If you choose to respond we can be reached at the address or the email address in the heading of this letter.

 

Sincerely,

James C. McIntosh, M.D.  and Betty J. Dopson

Excellent.  Exactly the type of inquiry, investigation and accountability needed to combat transgressions against Black folks.

 

Let's see if the Black media picks up and runs with this letter.  I'm fairly certainly Stephen A. Smith won't touch it with a 10-foot pole.

 

The main reason racism white supremacy continues to win is because too many Black folks are burying their heads in the sand and pretending like it doesn't exist.

If enough Black people share the media media including black media will not be able to ignore it so anyone reading this please share it.

Despite the fact that Black folks don't own any social media platform, enough of our folks are hanging out on all of them.

 

Black folks should be putting this type of information on blast until the gatekeepers kick them off their platforms.
