ManchesterEagle Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 He's taken it down and posted an apology now on his instagram. Hopefully now we can move on. His and Brees's apologies should both be accepted IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 7 minutes ago, Utebird said: i agree yet seems those consequences only matter when its something a white person doesnt agree with No? Im not arguing words dont have consequences im asking that people be consistent with asking for consequences. Brees for example, plenty of posters saying he has the right to free speech, k state student who posted racist remarks about george floyd and the university says, we cant break law and kick him out of college cuz free speech. So where are the consequences of his words? People can show up to trump rallies with NSDAP flags, free speech, they can walk in streets as open NSDAPs, free speech says everyone. Then somebody calls out israel and like a bunch of lap dogs the brain washed masses without even thinking attack the messenger and they dont dont claim , free speech, they call for consequences😒 Im all for consequences, natural consequences have zero bias enforced consequences shouldnt either. You're overthinking it. It's highly unlikely Desean was giving his world view on sectarian politics in the middle east. It appears he was being a dope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFC. STHU. This isnt in the blog this is a specific post made about a specific topic. I responded to it. That my views arent popular on this board or in mainstream american society is neither a surprise or a deterrent. Im neither jewish black or palastinian. What i am is some one who tries to call out injustices when i see them. The US and Israel have a unique relationship in the world and for some reason the US gives a ton of foreign Aid to Israel which at this moment is engaged in human rights violations against palestinians and not only does the great world peace keeper America not condemn it they fund it and are compliant in it Ever wonder why the mainstream media never reports or shows palestinian children being slaughtered by israel or its never talked about? Because the US funds it.😞 Now i doubt desean meant to bring any of that to light in his tweet and using a quote from hitler to promote BLM is in poor taste and hell get hammered for it but i hope the people that hammer him for ut also hammered brees for what he said though i doubt they or you did.

I got student loans up my A$$ all the while paying taxes for israel education, not to mention all the medical bills i have because the US cant afford universal health care but we can afford to fund israel to blow up and kill palestinians😒 Those things i agree are extreme but they arent views they are extreme happenings.

I tend to stay out of any political discussions, but that is very interesting information that I’d like to look up an familiarize myself with, so thank you for shedding light on that. As far as DJax, I think he was trying to post something that’s empowering to the black community but really, REALLY, missed the mark on what he was going for. I have a hard time believing he has any ani-Semitic feelings or beliefs. Just made a really not smart decision to post that quote, and displayed poor reading comprehension in not recognizing the anti-Semitic content of the quote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utebird Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 1 minute ago, What The F said: The eagles have responded This is bunk. Jackson was using the quote to make a case for BLM and im not sure he was calling out Zionism and those that are saying they are offended in this letter arent offended because its racist toward blacks they are offended because unbeknownst to desean he called out Zionism, which is what hitler was calling out in the quote. Now mainstream america will also condone this because its hitler and as horrible as hitler was and all the awful things he did doesnt excuse the fact that the Zionism exists today and the US is compliant in it and the destruction of the palestinians Its hypocritical in one sentence to denounce desean for his appalling behavior and at the same time not recognize or condemn the US role in funding genocide of palestinians. Want to use ones platform for change and growth and education educate the US public on why their tax dollars fund Israel. Calling out israel for war crimes isnt anti semitism its just truth.

I agree about deseans motives, except i dont believe the quote is anti semitic i think the quote is from an anti semite about anti zionism. Zionism is a real problem and that whenever its brought up one is branded as an anti semite isnt helpful. If the quote came from Noam Chomsky who is a jew and anti zionist no one would call him anti semite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliEagle Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 They should cut him, but they won't. The Eagles' response basically says they want to work with him, so he's coming back. He will probably have to take a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance and provide his receipt to prove he went. And, that will be about it. But, he is going to be walking a fine line going forward. This is a 33 year old player who should know better, so they won't put up with much more than this. Plus, his injury history, on top of matters. If his bad decisions don't get him, the blocking sled probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vileborg Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 It was obvious he wasn't calling out the Jewish faith or endorsing the holocaust. Anybody who read the message and went in that direction is being too sensitive and a drama queen. This era of finding anyway to be offended needs to give way to common sense and taking things in context. Anybody who took from this anything offensive fails at both. Tldr; Drama queens being dramatic. Nothing to see here. Move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are in the public eye and you decide to post something, you better damn make sure that it can not be misconstrued one way or another. Do I think DeSean is an Anti-Semite? No. Do I think he is stupid? Absolutely. The Eagles know this will go away soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
