NFL star Desean Jackson ‘posts anti-Semitic HITLER quotes on social media and backs Louis Farrakhan’ – The Sun

PHILADELPHIA Eagles wide-receiver DeSean Jackson has rejected claims of anti-semitism, after he shared a quote attributed to Hitler.

Jackson posted a photo of a passage from a book to his Instagram account that claimed Jewish people have a "plan for world domination".


"[White Jews] will blackmail America," the post, which he also shared to Twitter, read.

"[They] will extort America, their plan for world domination won't work if the N*****s know who they were."

Despite the quote being attributed to Adolf Hitler, it's been verified as fake by fact-checking website Snopes.

After some of Jackson's more than 1.4 million followers accused the NFL star of anti-semitism, the 33-year-old was quick to clarify his post had been taken "the wrong way".

"Anyone who feels I have hate towards the Jewish community took my post the wrong way," he posted said in an Instagram story.

"I have no hatred in my heart toward no one!! Equality. Equality."

The Sun has contacted Jackson's management and the Philadelphia Eagles for comment.

Jackson also shared several posts about Louis Farrakhan, the leader of group the Nation of Islam, an organization the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a hate group.

Farrakhan is known for making anti-Semitic and homophobic comments. Facebook blocked his posts in 2019 on the grounds they attempted to incite "violence and hate".

Jackson praised a speech Farrakhan made in Chicago on July 4, in which the 87-year-old claimed White House coronavirus response leader Dr. Anthony Fauci and Microsoft founder Bill Gates were plotting to use a virus vaccine to "depopulate the Earth."

"This man powerful I hope everyone got a chance to watch this !! Don’t be blinded. Know what’s going on," Jackson captioned a screenshot of the speech.

Former Philadelphia Eagles president Joe Banner slammed Jackson's comments on Twitter.

"If a white player said anything about AA’s [African-Americans] as outrageous as what Desean Jackson said about Jews tonight there would at least be a serious conversation about cutting him and a need for a team meeting to discuss," Banner, who was Eagles president until 2012, said.

"Which would be totally appropriate. Absolutely indefensible."

Jackson played with the Eagles from 2008 – 2013, before stints with the Redskins and Buccaneers.

He returned to Philadelphia last year after signing a three-year, $27.9 million contract.
