And if that's not enough he pushes an anti-vaccine message. Jackson has more than a million followers and these posts received thousands of likes.

There's been push back, but Drew Brees received far more outraged attacks from NFL and other pro athletes simply for saying he respects the US flag than Jackson has received for saying....this:

(posted a picture of this page from a book, highlighting the pertinent portion)

"Hitler said, “because the white Jews knows that the Negroes are the real Children of Israel and to keep Americas secret the Jews will blackmail America.

They will extort America, their plan for world domination won’t work if the Negroes know who they were.

The white citizens of America will be terrified to know that all this time they’ve been mistreating and discriminating and lynching the Children of Israel.”

Jackson also posted a video of speech by Louis Farrakhan, the radical black nationalist and Nation of Islam leader, in which he claimed Covid was a plot to depopulate the earth. He added this caption: "#farrakhan This man powerful I hope everyone got a chance to watch this !! Don’t be blinded. Know what’s going on !!”

He also responded to comments about a vaccine by Melissa Gates by saying: "Disgusting ass people!! You get the vaccination first… dumb broad!!”

After receiving some backlash he incredibly "apologized" by saying, “Anyone who feels I have hate towards the Jewish community took my post the wrong way,” while reposting the Hitler quote, complete with highlighting.

For the record the Hitler quote is a fabrication Jackson swallowed.

Predictably, he is now playing the victim.

It's interesting to see how much of the relatively limited push back is so PC that statements criticizing Jackson's "ignorance" and dubiously giving him the benefit of the doubt on whether he has "hate" in his heart are sometimes going out of their way to praise Black Lives Matter, whose racial platform heavily overlaps with Louis Farrakhan's. I wonder how many of these celebrities and corporations are ignorant of what they've spent the past few weeks endorsing, and how many even care.
