On Sunday Irving took to Twitter to explain why he doesn’t like the N-word.
The N-word is a derogatory racial slur!
It will never be…
-a term of endearment
-reclaimed
-flipped
NEVER FORGET ITS FOUL AND TRUE HISTORY!
Throw that N-word out the window, right alongside all of those other racist words used to describe my people.We are not slaves or N’s

All praises to God(Allah). I pray this world finally cleanses itself from the inside. God has seen enough from these Devils running around here confusing and dividing people up. The Brain washing, the indoctrination, the conditioning that we all went through is coming to an end.
