No one is talking about NFL player Desean Jackson literally saying "Hitler was right" about the Jews? And about NBA player Stephen Jackson defending him and saying it's "the truth?"
I haven't heard ONE active player in either league criticize them for this, but everyone in the league jumped down Brees' throat when he said he thought kneeling disrespected the flag. Somehow that's worse than literally saying HITLER, literally HITLER, was right about the Jews? Not to mention that Brees has a history of contributing a ton to the community, and Desean Jackson has a history of what, admitted interaction with gangs? Even that aside, HE LITERALLY SAID HITLER WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE JEWS. That's some beyond anti-Semitic s**t right there.
This recent concept that only white people can be racist is very dangerous. Anyone can be racist. Sure, systemic racism is different, but ANY individual of ANY color/race/ethnicity/etc. can be racist towards any other individual. To suggest otherwise is asinine.
And Stephen Jackson doubled down on his anti-Semitism saying, basically, that the blacks have it the worst, so nobody else can have a voice on the topic of racism and discrimination. Meanwhile there are literally people alive today with numbers tattooed on their arms from when the LITERAL NAZIS rounded them, and all their family and friends, up and brought them to concentration camps where everyone they knew and loved was tortured and/or killed. But yeah, apparently they haven't experienced enough "systemic racism" to be allowed to have a voice/opinion on racism and discrimination, despite them living through horrors I'd wager none of us here could even dream of, at the hands of history's largest government sanctioned systemic genocide.
It's infuriating how people can be so ignorant.
