Jaylen Brown on Monday further explained a tweet he posted in support of Kyrie Irving’s return that included a video of a group of Black Hebrew Israelites spewing harmful propaganda, saying he wasn’t aware of the group’s identity.
Irving returned for the Nets on Sunday after an eight-game suspension stemming from when he posted a link to an antisemitic movie on Twitter. Outside Barclays Center in Brooklyn, a large contingent from the group Israel United in Christ – which has been identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center – lined up outside the arena in support of Irving’s return.
Brown quote-tweeted a video of the supporters, writing, “Energy,” but later clarified himself after learning what the group represents.
