Former Golden State Warriors Stephen Jackson and Kevin Durant as well as former San Francisco 49er Marquise Goodwin and ex-Cal football standout DeSean Jackson are all embroiled in an anti-Semitism controversy stemming from DeSean Jackson's Instagram posts.

The chain of events was kicked off by DeSean Jackson, who was widely rebuked after sharing anti-Jewish quotes he attributed to Adolf Hitler on his Instagram story. The quote stated that Jews "will blackmail America” for their “plan for world domination.” Jackson also praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, an individual who has been identified as an anti-Semite by the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center. The Philadelphia Eagles called the posts "offensive, harmful and absolutely appalling," and Jackson has since apologized twice, stating he "really didn't realize what this passage [attributed to Hitler] was saying."

Stephen Jackson, the former "We Believe" Warriors hero and friend of George Floyd who has since become a highly visible activist, said he "love[s] Jews" but believes the Eagles wideout was "speaking the truth."

"In other words, you’re upset with me because I didn’t say what you wanted me to say,” Jackson said on a Wednesday Instagram Live.

The former NBA player then stated that the Rothschild family "owns all the banks," and refused to repudiate the claim that "Jews are trying to divide the Black community."

No one should ever apologize for anything except maybe murder, and some rapes.

Seriously, apologies are stupid, extremely counterproductive. As if they will forgive him.

Hell, I'm kinda Jewish myself and I don't care about this shit. It's just more virtue signalling by the accusers.

No need to apologize for that either. The chair doesn't care.

The NFL won't do shit, and The SPLC won't say shit anyway.

Imagine if some White Football player said "The Blacks are dividing America". His ass would be fired within 24 hours.

I really wish some white athlete had the balls to say the exact same thing a black athlete said and then scream racism if he/she gets in hot water. We could sic some group on the SJWs when they go crazy. Why white people be not fite'n back?

Black athletes quoting Hitler. What could possibly go wrong. Prefab off the shelf prejudices are always preferable to original thinking.

Isn't there a speed limits to the number of exemptions allowed these guys, or is it just a lifetime pass?

Just let them keep doing it. Stephen Jackson is trying to defend him and this guy became the face of the BLM movement. This movement is based in racism and it's murder inspiring. They are digging their own grave.

It's black privilege. If a white athlete quoted Tom Metzger, he'd be fired and never hired again.
