What if the truth we stand on is built on second-hand information? What if entire generations have been taught history through a filtered lens — one that conceals as much as it reveals?

In this thought-provoking episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, we confront the uncomfortable realities of disinformation, censorship, and the erasure of African American history, using the controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving as a lens into a larger cultural struggle.

The Kyrie Irving Case: Beyond the Headlines

When NBA star Kyrie Irving was condemned for sharing a link to a film exploring African heritage, it sparked a nationwide debate — not just about the content of the film, but about who gets to control the narrative.

Rather than being a discussion about truth-seeking, the moment became a spectacle of public condemnation. This episode challenges listeners to look deeper: to question how disinformation operates not just through lies, but through the selective silencing of certain truths.

💬 “We live in an era where questioning the narrative can get you canceled — but silence can cost us history.” — CJ Moneyway

The Systemic Erasure of Black History

The conversation expands beyond Kyrie to a much wider issue — the systematic suppression of African American history. From the dismantling of civil rights departments to the watering down of history curricula, the erasure isn’t accidental.

The episode explores how removing uncomfortable truths from textbooks and public discourse has become a subtle form of control — one that disconnects young people from their roots and their rightful sense of identity.

Disinformation as a Tool of Division

Disinformation isn’t just false information — it’s strategic distraction. It’s the art of keeping people divided, confused, and misinformed. By controlling the flow of knowledge, power structures maintain dominance.

This discussion dives into how algorithms, media framing, and selective outrage shape what we perceive as truth. When facts are filtered through bias, knowledge becomes propaganda, and genuine inquiry is punished.

Reclaiming the Narrative

At the heart of this episode is a call for awareness and accountability. To reclaim our history, we must seek primary sources, elevate underrepresented voices, and refuse to accept pre-packaged narratives.

The fight for truth isn’t just about the past — it’s about the future of how our stories are told.

💬 “You can’t free a people who don’t know they’re in chains.” — CJ Moneyway

Final Reflection

Kyrie Irving’s controversy may have made headlines, but it also unearthed deeper questions: Who controls the narrative? Who decides what’s acceptable to know?

In a world where information moves faster than truth, The Moneyway Show challenges us to pause, question, and rebuild our understanding of history — brick by brick, story by story.
