The former NBA player denounced Hitler, promoted an anti-Semitic trope and said that he follows Louis Farrakhan.
A day after defending DeSean Jackson for his controversial social media post with a fake Hitler quote, Stephen Jackson isn’t backing down.
"You know that for a fact?” Jackson responded … “You know who the Rothschilds are? They own all the banks. ...The Rothschilds are a wealthy Jewish banking dynasty. The stereotype that Jewish people run “all the banks” is a longstanding anti-Semitic trope. The original post made by DeSean Jackson cited a quote that he believed to be from Adolf Hitler that referred to Black people as “the real children of Israel” and allegedly cited Hitler’s plan to incite World War III from his grave. Snopes uncovered the passage as part of a clickbait campaign from 2017.Stephen Jackson followed up his initial defense of the post on Tuesday with another message on Instagram declaring “your races pain doesn’t hurt more than the next races pain.
On Wednesday he called for people expressing outrage at his anti-Semitic remarks to reserve that energy for injustice in the Black community.
