Anti-Sematicly and rather incoherently, …. “the white Jews knows that the Negroes are the real Children of Israel,” that they “will extort America” and that “their plan for world domination won’t work if the Negroes know who they were.” Jackson over the weekend also praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who is notorious for making anti-Semitic remarks and “routinely accuses Jews of manipulating the U.S. government and controlling the levers of world power,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
This man powerful,” Jackson said after listening to a speech from Farrakhan. “I hope everyone got a chance to watch this!! Don’t be blinded. Know what’s going on!!”
Jackson has since deleted all of the posts. In his apology, Jackson did not reference his post about Farrakhan.
“Hitler has caused terrible pain to Jewish people like the pain African-Americans have suffered,” Jackson later wrote. “We should be together fighting anti-Semitism and racism.”
Jackson is currently in the middle of a three-year contract worth up to $27.9 million, with $13 million guaranteed. He can become a free agent in 2022. He may be released sooner than that because he made a lot more enemies and football fans don’t buy tickets to watch their enemies.
Jackson may be being judged by the wrong standard, that of an intellectual or a politician when he’s a football player who has taken a lot of hits to his head. We also have to consider how Carson Wentz and the other Eagles players take this. They know Jackson from playing with him. If they give him some kind of pass on this it may blow over sooner than later and the Eagles can get back to playing football.
