A day after defending DeSean Jackson for his controversial social media post with a fake Hitler quote, Stephen Jackson isn’t backing down.

The former NBA player made multiple appearances on Instagram Live on Wednesday to speak his mind. He did not apologize for his stance.

“You’re upset with me because I didn’t say what you wanted me to say,” Jackson said, per a transcript provided by The Athletic’s Fred Katz.

He then promoted an anti-Semitic trope when challenged by a follower.

‘You know who the Rothschilds are?’

“The point is, you did not just say to me that Jews are not trying to divide the black community," the person who joined Jackson’s session said.

"You know that for a fact?” Jackson responded … “You know who the Rothschilds are? They own all the banks. ...

“I haven’t said one thing that’s untrue yet."

The Rothschilds are a wealthy Jewish banking dynasty. The stereotype that Jewish people run “all the banks” is a longstanding anti-Semitic trope.

‘He was speaking the truth’

Jackson’s comments Wednesday arrive after he supported DeSean Jackson’s anti-Semitic Instagram post.

“So I just read a statement that the Philadelphia Eagles posted regarding DeSean Jackson’s comments,” Jackson said Tuesday. “He was trying to educate himself, educate people and he’s speaking the truth. Right? He’s speaking the truth. You know he don’t hate nobody, but he’s speaking the truth, the facts that he know and try to educate others.”

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.

DeSean Jackson has apologized multiple times for the post.

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.”

Jackson lashes out at critics

Jackson received widespread backlash for his stance and addressed critics in a second Instagram Live appearance Wednesday.

“Everybody that thinks I got hate,” Jackson said. “I know how to stand for my people and love my people without demeaning another race. ...

“That’s how they do it. Y’all don’t control me. Y’all don’t control me.”

Jackson was a prominent voice in the aftermath of George Floyd’s homicide. A friend of Floyd’s, Jackson was a frequent speaker at rallies and advocate for social justice.

On Wednesday he called for people expressing outrage at his anti-Semitic remarks to reserve that energy for injustice in the Black community.

“I just hope y’all keep that same energy when the Blacks get murdered,” Jackson said. “When Black people get murdered on the streets, keep that same energy.”

He also said that he’s not anti-Semitic, blaming social media for trying to “control my narrative.”

“I”m not anti-Semitic,” Jackson said. “Whatever that is, I’m not it. I love Jews. I love all races.”
Jackson’s support of Louis Farrakhan

Jackson then said he has been learning how to lead from Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, a group the Southern Poverty Law Center designates as “deeply racist, anti-Semitic and anti-LGBT.”

“I’m a fan of minister Farrakhan because nobody loves Black people more than him,” Jackson said. “He hasn’t told me to hate somebody one time. He’s teaching me how to be a leader.

“Just because you don’t like him, doesn’t mean I’m gonna not like him.”

how freaking deluded some of the blacks are in this country.

Maybe with all of those things he's done for the black community one of them should have been to teach them to less loud and obnoxious? Since that seems to be an issue with him and all.

I never said that. Rocket made that up.

No, you will just lie, attack, and slander. You have no problem w/Swish posting an article about a white guy using a BB gun in the Come Together thread. You also had no problem w/him saying things about me and Bull supporting the KKK and being good w/black people being murdered. Yet, you trash me multiple times daily.

Another thing, when I asked that Milk not post so many articles that would divide us, you jumped in and said we had to bring attention to the injustices. Yet, here you are.........trashing me for bringing attention to blacks supporting Hitler and promoting Antisemitism.

You guys disgust me. And I guarantee you that you are disgusting a whole lot of folks who won't say a word, but their vote might say more.

Keep fighting hate w/hate.

Receipts are fun.

I'll be back.

Seventy-Five Years After Auschwitz, Anti-Semitism Is on the Rise

You can manage a chronic disease, treat it, or prevent its complications—but you can rarely cure it.

January 27, 2020
Walter Reich
Professor and former director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum


On January 27, 1945, Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz. The date is now consecrated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, as the world vowed never to allow murderous anti-Semitism to recur. Yet 75 years later, attacking Jews has once again become socially acceptable in many countries—across the left-right ideological spectrum, and among different groups that blame Jews for their grievances and oppression.

The recent eruptions of anti-Semitism in America have awakened us to a prejudice that has long resided, in quiet ways and in many forms, in this country. And the part of it that now disguises itself as anti-Zionism—hatred of the Jewish state that was established in the wake of the Holocaust as a refuge for Jews—has even seemed, to some, virtuous, a sentiment they believe puts them in humanity’s moral vanguard.

And anti-Semitism has returned, in part, because the general public’s knowledge about the Holocaust—of what exactly it was, who exactly was murdered in it, how many were killed, and how anti-Semitism spawned it—has diminished. For a time, that knowledge discredited anti-Semitism and those who indulged in it. But the passing of survivors who experienced the Holocaust and could testify to it, the denial and minimization of the Holocaust, and the hijacking of the word itself to advance numerous other causes, great and small, all combined to diminish its memory. The horrifying knowledge of where anti-Semitism can lead has been, in large measure, lost in a miasma of forgetting, ignorance, denial, confusion, appropriation, and obfuscation.

As a former director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, many of whose uncles, aunts, and cousins, and a grandmother, were murdered in the Holocaust; as a professor who has taught a generation of students about the memory of the Holocaust; as a psychiatrist who is well aware of humanity’s repertoire of hatred and brutality; as a professor of international affairs; and as a student of Jewish history who is deeply aware of the many times masses of Jews were murdered or expelled simply because they were Jews, I watch anti-Semitism’s global resurgence, so soon after the Holocaust, with alarm and foreboding. Could murderous anti-Semitism, on a large scale, resume in our time? Could “never again,” vowed so solemnly and so repeatedly after the Holocaust, revert to “yet again”?

What motivates anti-Semitism? For two millennia, the prejudice has fulfilled needs—psychological, theological, national, and social—that have multiplied and mutated:

The need to find an explanation for a variety of misfortunes. What better and more coherent explanation is there than a conspiracy? And what more logical conspiracy is there—depending on the place and century—than the existence of a small group that, plotting in secret, poisons wells or manipulates money or controls governments or causes wars and all manner of other catastrophes and difficulties?

The need to condemn a minority whose members obstinately refuse to accept the majority’s religion, or whose role in that religion’s narrative is evil.

The need to distrust and ostracize a minority whose members act differently, don’t assimilate fully into the larger culture, and have their own customs and practices.

The need to unify the majority group by identifying a common enemy, especially an enemy within.

The need to explain a minority’s material or national success, especially by a majority whose members feel that that success has come at their expense.

The need for some members of other minority groups to find a reason for the difficulties they experience, such as poverty and oppression.

Why were Jews the group that was most regularly identified, in the lands and communities they’ve inhabited, as fulfilling one or more of these needs? The most likely reasons are historical and psychological:. When Jews were first identified as fulfilling some of these needs, they were branded as villains. Over time, that branding was repeatedly reinforced so that Jews became the usual suspects—the group that immediately came to mind when a new need arose to find explanatory villains.

So why the resurgence of anti-Semitism today?

Anti-Semitism is useful in the current moment in both Europe and America. For some on the right, it can fulfill the need for a national, religious, or ethnic agenda. And for some on the left, it can fulfill the need to establish virtue, particularly when it’s connected with anti-Zionism.

In Arab and Muslim lands, anti-Semitism is often expressed as both hatred of Jews and hatred of Israel, and is very frequently bolstered by Holocaust denial. Delegitimizing the Jewish state can serve as a means to reverse the humiliation, degradation, and oppression of Muslims.

In Eastern Europe, right-wing, nationalist parties have taken control, often rewriting Holocaust history, and often with the support of groups that are strongly anti-Semitic and have adopted Nazi slogans and agendas. In Western Europe, anti-Semitism is found among right-wing forces; within political parties on the left, especially in Britain; and among elements of the Muslim community.

But for now, the democracies of Western Europe are strong enough to withstand the pressure. And in America, the episodes of anti-Semitic speech and violence, though they’ve greatly proliferated in the past few years, have begun to mobilize communities and governmental agencies to protect Jews from violence. This won’t stop anti-Semitism’s continuing growth, but it will control it. Despite a long history of bias at many levels, from academia to boardrooms, Jews in America have established themselves during the past century in every sphere of American life, and the American tradition of tolerance will remain far more powerful than its manifestations of prejudice.

So although Jews face ongoing violence, it is not of a level that will, in the foreseeable future, result in massive death. In Europe and the United States, there might be limited outbursts. Should Iran develop nuclear weapons, it could, in a moment of irrationality, launch them to try to obliterate the Jewish state, which its leaders repeatedly have vowed to destroy and which is home to nearly half of the world’s Jews; but Iran’s fear that it could be devastated in return by a nuclear-armed Israel would almost surely keep such a cataclysmic possibility in check. In short, despite the rise in worldwide anti-Semitism, a repeat of the Holocaust—major mass murder—is, though possible, unlikely in the foreseeable future.

As we mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, I wish I could be more upbeat than that. But I’m not. I’m a physician. I know that one can manage a chronic disease, one can treat it, one can often prevent its complications, but one can rarely cure it—and one can’t ever be sure that it won’t become, at some point, catastrophic.

How many black people have shot Jews in their Synagogues? How many blacks have marched with assault rifles yelling "Jews will not replace me!"? How many black people have been members of organizations like the KKK who have committed violence and hatred against the Jews for generations? How many blacks fly the Nazi flag?

Once again i will state, you only posted this to stir up trouble. You only posted it to bring attention to the exception to the rule rather than the rule itself.
