Campaigner Stephen Jackson says DeSean Jackson ‘speaking truth’ with Hitler quote

Former NBA player shows support for NFL receiver
DeSean Jackson apologized for promoting conspiracy theory

Former NBA player and activist Stephen Jackson has said Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson was “speaking the truth” when he twice posted a quote falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler that says white Jews “will blackmail America. [They] will extort America, their plan for world domination won’t work if the Negroes know who they were.”

DeSean Jackson subsequently apologized for the posts, and also for showing support for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who holds antisemitic views.

I post a lot of things that are sent to me. I do not have hatred towards anyone. I really didn’t realize what this passage was saying. Hitler has caused terrible pain to Jewish people like the pain African-Americans have suffered. We should be together fighting anti-Semitism and racism. This was a mistake to post this and I truly apologize for posting it and sorry for any hurt I have caused.
