Why this petition matters

Started by Sharon Webster

The additional demands beside the apology placed on Kyrie Irving for sharing a link to a book is problematic. Kyrie shared the book  in question (Hebrews to Negroes) that is still for sale on Amazon.  He isn't making any money off this book, but has been researching his heritage and is getting punished like a child for doing so. We must change the way people are being treated whether it is in sports, music, film, etc. To suspend, fine, and ask Kyrie to research someone else's culture/religion not considering that his intent was to learn about his own heritage is unjust and unfair.  We should be concerned about what this type of prejudice  behavior would lead to in the future.  We the people are asking that this injustice be rescind and allow this man to get back to his life. We also agree that  If we can stop these unjust demands, it would be a step toward elimatiing bias injustices.
