DeSean Jackson outs himself as being anti-Semitic

That’s not a mistake that’s him doubling down.

If he was smart about it all he had to do to fix this was say, my intent wasn’t to involve the Jewish community. This was a passage that was sent to me and I wanted to highlight that the African American community has been stripped of their identity and it has been used to keep our community down while propping up the US at the same time. I apologize for posting something that had anti-Semitic remarks. My intent wasn’t to tear down another group of people who have also been persecuted throughout history but highlight my specific community.

90% of professional athletes would need to pay someone to even think that clearly let alone write that clearly.

It’s not necessarily even the money. It’s his overall image.

He very well may be genuinely upset and remorseful over all of this to the point he wants to educate and witness, but why is he choosing now to go to a concentration camp with a survivor?

Do you think he would’ve done all this if it weren’t for what happened? People will do a lot to prove they aren’t what they initially projected.

Again, he could just have been ignorant and was never anti Semitic, doesn’t change the fact he’s doing what he’s doing to make that point clear after the incident.

Fair enough but like the other poster said he longer deserves the benefit of the doubt.

I find irony in the fact that when I said Brown was an idiot but defended him I was called a homer, but this is defendable.

He read right through the part about how Jewish people are evil and want to take over the world and shared it. Who in the world could read through that and share it if they weren’t ok with prejudice against Jews.

I can’t possibly imagine seeing this situation and having any opinion other than DeSean Jackson has prejudice against Jews.

I don’t give a crap what point you’re trying to make, quoting Hitler (or thinking that you’re quoting Hitler) is NEVER a good idea.

Which is sad as that took little thought. They should be paying people to manage their social media. It’s a revenue stream and could affect them positively or negatively.

Initially, you did. You even had a few chuckles over it.

Hes a privileged millionaire athlete, what does it cost him to do this and save face? A few grand to travel there is pocket change to him, so this is literally a few days of history lessons to make the world forget about your antisemitic quotes that you shared. I mean, if Donald Trump spoke with a Civil Rights era leader and agreed to go to a slave plantation, would people stop calling him racist every 2 seconds?

the problem with that analogy is Trump wouldn't stop being one for 2 seconds

This is exactly what I mean. I'll be glad to say I never voted for him and won't in November, but he's been made to be the poster child of hate for 5 years now and there's really not a ton of substance to it. He's probably just as racist as ever other 70 year old billionaire or politician, but every little thing he does or says gets called racist, yet nobody ever said it before he became a republican.

He was considered racist before the difference was no one cared because he wasn’t our president

You and QBEAGLES... "Oh it was just a mistake. He's just dumb. It was just ignorant. He didn't ACTUALLY mean it. He agreed to go to concentration camp, look how great he is! He can't be an anti-semite."
