Entire World Comes Down on White NBA Player Who Said “Kike” While Gaming

This really is an absolute inquisition we are facing.

They will destroy your life for a single word, said in a moment of frustration.

CBS News:

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard “will be away from the team indefinitely” after he said an anti-Semitic slur while streaming himself playing a video game on Twitch, the team announced Tuesday night. Leonard uttered the slur during a “Call of Duty: Warzone” live play on Monday.

In a statement released Tuesday night, the team condemned the use of hate speech, saying, “To hear it from a Miami Heat player is especially disappointing and hurtful to all those who work here, as well as the larger South Florida, Miami Heat and NBA communities.”

Literally fired from the team. For a word.

Leonard said “kike” in a funny way, as a jokey insult, while talking about someone sniping him.

Here’s the clip.

Immediately after he said it, he said “that just dropped out of my head, I didn’t mean to fuckin’ – um, anyways.”

He immediately issued an apology to the Jews.

An e-sports brand that Leonard had invested in and been publicly associated with, FaZe Clan, also issued a statement denouncing him.

It is just incredible that this man is in the prime of his life, the prime of his career, 29-years-old, and they are burying him alive because Jews were offended that he said a bad word while he was angry.

Understand this: the purpose of these public crucifixions is to get it hardwired into the brains of the masses of people that you have to be constantly on guard, because with literally one wrong word, your entire life can be taken away from you. It’s about the Jews demonstrating power, sure, but it’s also about the system continuing to feed this concept of a society of absolute fear and paranoia, where no one ever feels safe.

The Good Part

The thing that I have to note, and it doesn’t matter because Leonard is already doomed anyway, is that this proves that mainstream people, famous people you know, are exposed to our content.

“Kike” was not in normal usage before 4chan and the Daily Stormer started promoting it. I remember that when I first started using it in the early days, there were Jews calling it “retro,” and there were explainers that it was an old-fashioned derogatory term for a Jew.

I started using it because it is funny, but also because it has some meaningful history.

Jews who were coming over from Eastern Europe to America 100 or more years ago, and arriving for quarantine on Ellis Island, didn’t speak English. When they were told to sign an “x” on the forms, they refused, because they thought it was a Christian symbol, and they are fearful of any association with Our Lord Jesus. So instead of drawing the “x,” the Jews would draw a circle. This no doubt confused the staff processing these forms, and the Jews, not speaking English, would say “kikel,” which is the Yiddish word for “circle.”

So, the staff at Ellis Island started referring to them as “kikes,” and that then became a general term associated with Jews. Like all slurs, it wasn’t derogatory to begin with, but it became derogatory as a result of Jewish behavior.

I feel bad for Leonard. This is truly a tragedy. But I had to smile when I saw the clip, because I thought, “what websites have you been looking at, dude?”

Of course, it’s not as if you couldn’t tell by his physiognomy what his politics were.

I hope he doesn’t just disappear. Obviously, he’s for sure got some money stored away. And they’re not going to let him back in the mainstream, ever. That is the iron law – there is never any forgiveness. But I hope he does something good.

Maybe he could speak at AFPAC next year about cancel culture in gaming? 

Note: I’ve seen several people claim that Leonard looks like he’s taken steroids. In my professional opinion, there is no reason at all to believe that. The man is literally 7 feet tall, so he’s going to be big all around. When I saw the comments about steroids, I went through and looked at many photographs of him, and did not see any indicators that he is not natural. Remember, I’m the number one guy who calls people out for being on steroids. I think this was a guy who is just really devoted to physical health and gaming.
