While several NBA stars have shared their support towards the matter, Kyrie Irving is the latest player to voice his concern through a social media post.

As a result of this, many NBA players and other athletes used this initiative to spread awareness through social media. The #blackouttuesday initiative became viral and was shared by millions around the world.

Kyrie Irving believes his community deserves more respect

The 2016 NBA champion shared a very deep message to his followers, educating them about the power of the African-American community and their rich history. Kyrie also wants the country to treat his community with more respect, for they deserve every bit of it. 

“Our Native Indigenous Black Minds, Our Native Indigenous Black Bodies deserve to be treated with more Respect, Understanding, and Love,” he wrote. “Know that our bloodlines come from Royalty! We are the True Royalty, We are the Original King and Queens of this Spiritual and Physical world!”
