As Twitchy reported, the NFL’s DeSean Jackson got a stern talking-to by the Philadelphia Eagles and apologized after posting a fake quote attributed to Adolph Hitler to his Instagram page. As Greg Price commented, “DeSean Jackson posts a quote from Hitler, says he’s not anti-Semitic and then highlights the particularly anti-Semitic part.” He also posted a video clip from Louis Farrakhan on vaccines.
As we said, Jackson has apologized, but former NBA player Stephen Jackson popped up on his Instagram stream to defend Jackson, saying he was speaking the truth and trying to educate others.

"Racism at an all time high."
Ah yes. Racism is higher today than when black people were literally bought and sold as human property. Thank you for clearing that up, Mr. Jackson. Very cool.

Racism is most definitely not at an all time high. Though I realize many NEED us to believe that for their own selfish designs.

It’s amazing how proud they are to put their hate and ignorance on full display.
— Navin R Johnson (@DreadedIgnominy) July 7, 2020
Not nearly as amazing as how thoroughly their own bigotry is ignored.

This is what happens when youre not educated. You believe anything that anyone tells you.

Right here is the voice of ignorance.

"You know he don't hate nobody" – ugh, do we?
"Ya'll don't want us to educate ourselves" – sure we do; preferably before tweeting
