Wait, wait, don't tell me...because you agree that people get to choose what injustices they'll speak out against, and there isn't (and shouldn't be) a moral "litmus test" where  I'm not allowed to speak out about one injustice or what one person says, unless I demonstrate equal upset and outspokenness about whatever you deem unjust or offensive?

 

I'm gonna guess that's not what you had in mind.

 

I agree with you, but most of the woke folks do not. In fact, for the first month after St. George was killed the common refrain was that if you spoke against the riots but hadn't spoken out against cops you were a racist.

 

You may not have, but a whole lotta people who are real damn quiet right now were shouting that ***** from the rooftops.

The difference being that the riots were in response to the murder. That’s an important distinction.

Let’s see?  DJ immediately apologized and took back his statement.  How come I’m not hearing complaints about the PC Thought Police bullying him into changing his tune?  Didn’t you complain about that with Brees and Fromm?  I thought it was a free country and we can say whatever we want?  How come you complained about it then, but not now?  Well, I guess:

[machine gun kelly]

This isn’t rocket science.  Police brutality is wrong, looting peaceful store owners is wrong, comments against African Americans or any other group is wrong, including anti-Semitic comments.  I have no idea why DJ would say something in writing as inflammatory is mind boggling.  It just tells me if he is going to write it, he meant it, and that is what is in his heart.  I tell my boys as my daughter doesn’t do most of the social media stuff, what they write can be held against them.  Thankfully, they are good kids who are not prejudiced at all.

 

If I’m the Eagles, I would fire him.  He’s getting older anyway, but in corporate America, it wouldn’t even have been a discussion.  If I said something like this which I wouldn’t, I would be fired on the spot.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29422431/eagles-desean-jackson-says-hate-jewish-community-posting-anti-semitic-messages

 

The NFL released a statement Tuesday calling Jackson's comments "highly inappropriate, offensive and divisive" and saying they "stand in stark contrast to the NFL's values of respect, equality and inclusion." The league said it has been in contact with the Eagles on the matter.

 

 

The NFL and the Eagles organization have done so. I’m interested in hearing from the Carson Wentzes, the Tre Whites, the Josh Normans, or any other player that’s been so outspoken about hate; or really any NFL player at all.

 

The silence is absolutely deafening.

I’ll speak on his apology...

 

I’m not appalled or outraged by what he said, because it’s ignorant. Ignorance is sad, not offensive IMO.

 

He apologized. Twice. The first one was clumsy and (IMO) lacked some authenticity. The second appears to have been carefully crafted by a PR team. Fine. Either way, apology noted; let’s see what he does moving forward.

 

The aspect of this that’s disappointing is that—given the current climate surrounding racism and hatred toward people’s background or heritage—not a single NFL player has spoken out to say “hey, wait a minute, we of all people should know better. How can we expect people to listen to us if we don’t clean up our own house?”

I don’t disagree, but the context matters.  The “current climate” you’re referring to seems to be at some sort of societal “tipping point” with respect to racism against Blacks.  This has been building for quite some time, it’s structural in nature, it’s been stoked by POTUS, and it represents a severe power imbalance that is systemic.  It’s very different from some idiot parroting Crazy Farrakhan.  
 

As a Jew, I don’t feel threatened by what DJax said - he basically called me a purple alien.  He’s a moron and possibly mentally ill. I’ve always been troubled by the fringe element of anti-semitism that pervades the Black community and I share the frustration some have expressed here that the Left has a real blind spot when it comes to racism and homophobia by minority groups - there is a tendency to either ignore it or chalk it up to structural causes (“it’s not their fault, they’ve been so oppressed”) - that’s hogwash.  People are people, and many people are bigots.  (Including several posters in this thread hiding behind the “whataboutism”).

 

But let’s be real here: it’s not Black people shooting up synagogues, typically, it’s radicalized white gun nut nationalists and Islamic-inspired terrorists.  I worry about them, and I worry about far Left professors who cloak their anti-semitism in “colonial studies” garb.  In fact, if you view the political spectrum as a curved circle, anti-semitism is where the Far Right and Far Left meet on the back end - Jim Bob who works at Guns & Ammo in Akron Ohio and Tabitha who owns a lesbian bookstore in Berkeley can’t agree on anything at all, except that Jews are evil.  They can both kiss my Ashkenazi behind.

They only care about racism that affects them. They aren’t “anti-racist” at all.

 

These are the same people who would be okay with turning back the boats of Jewish refugees.

Generally agree. I more meant that I’d like to think that being at said tipping point would make it all the more obvious to the NFL community that speaking out against all hate (and not just racism against certain groups) is paramount.

Bandit, I was thinking the same thing.  When will these players simply say this is wrong.  I’ve said it before, All Lives Matter.  If someone says these slurs, condemn him publicly.  No matter if it’s against Jewish people, African-American people, etc.  just stop.  Don’t tolerate it.  What is there to talk about?  You can’t write this crap and explain it.  Apologies don’t matter.

Yeah, part of me do wish they called Jackson out for being an idiot.  But players rarely call other players out.  Brees got called out because he kept the same dumb logic.  Even in calling hmm out, most prefaced it by saying he was a good guy who was just misinformed.

 

i don’t there is any other view point than Jackson is a complete moron.  I mean Julian Edelman has said anything and he indirectly was attacked.

I don’t get this line of thinking. Only people directly affected by bigotry or racism against people of their common origin should speak out against it?

 

The coverage has been light?  A quick google search and it pops up everywhere.  It will be talked about on every major sporting outlet today, without fail.

 

This high standard that athletes are held to is crazy to me.  They spoke out on what they know.  Systemic racism, police brutality, etc. against people of color.  Now they have to be on the front lines of all racism and inequality to be taken seriously?  Is this for all athletes or only black athletes?

 

Admittedly, I don't know a ton about anti-semitic tropes or the argument of Black Hebrew Israelites.

 

I fully understand that what Jackson said was ignorant, hurtful and that he should be disciplined for it.  That said, I'm not sure I'd go on a Twitter rant blasting him for it.
