I am not the problem, regardless of my anti Jewish comments. White people are the problem!

Have a white player quote Hitler...I’m sure it would get the same response....

If white people are the problem, and majority of U.S. Jews are white, aren't the Jews still the problem?

For this? It seems like a responsible message that's the opposite of the anti-semitic propaganda Jackson shared.

Jackson shared propaganda implying Jewish people are keeping black people down. Jenkins is saying the opposite.

Once again, not calling out the last 50 years of black culture...not holding themselves accountable. It’s someone else’s fault for 75% fatherless homes which is a fast lane to crime, drug use, running away from home, teen pregnancy, gangs, incarceration etc....but they aren’t the problem.

IE, Jewish problems don't matter.

IE don't comment on inequality or hate for other races, only worry about your own.

Wasn’t he crying over Brees’s anthem comments? What a fricking loser

I'd disagree. Jenkins has been a supporter of BLM and ends with an explicit reference to that.

The rest is saying that people (I assume including Jackson) shouldn't be trying to create a divide between Jewish people and black people.

If you don't like his support of BLM, you're free to, but this particular statement seems clearly tailored at not making BLM anti-semitic. I don't have an issue with that.

He clearly says that the only thing that really matters is his political message. In fact, he says it twice.

He pretty much just invalidated everything that he had said before. If you don't care about issues other than your own then why should I care about you. Malcolm? Clown move.

Where’s the “shut the frick up” message like he did to his own quarterback with a far less divisive and controversial quote?

Yet now he just gets to “make a statement” (multiple days later) for a far more divisive and disturbing quote and that’s just cool? He’s a hack piece of shite nothing more

If any white player quoted Hitler they would be out of the league already, fact

Eh, people clearly disagree with me, but him saying "Jewish people aren't our problem" is a pretty clear response to the propaganda Jackson shared and countering the anti-semitic nature of it.

Beyond that, yeah, I'm sure he thinks his issue matters. He's been fairly outspoken about it.

I actually agree with you on this part.

However, his response to Jackson vs his response to Brees needs to be addressed.

ETA: I mean it should be addressed by him, wish someone would ask him.

Totally dismissive, twice.

He is getting absolutely hammered on even super liberal Reddit. Its a shite statement from a trashbag, so it shouldn't be surprising.

Now that you mention it, it could just be poor phrasing on his part, but I’m not sure it was.

What did he say that’s not factual though. He is right the Jews are not BLM’s problem. American Jews are like BLM cheerleaders for lack of a better hyperbolic word. I respect American Jews’ intelligence, creativity, everything but their physical toughness. It’s asinine that Israeli Jews are tough as frick but American Jews aren’t. They both come from Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Yea I know American Jews are not surrounded by multiple nations that want to kill them. I’ll stop rambling.
