I actually don't think Desean should be cut because of his thoughts. If he apologized for spreading them, even if that can be dangerous, that is good enough for me. I rather not live in that kind of society at all. That said I'd be lying if I said the double standard (of who gets cancelled) doesn't get under my skin. At a time when free speech is so incredibly restricted, Jews still seem to be fair game it seems.

Stephen Jackson was always such a clown (like in a good, entertaining way), for years whenever I see him I automatically smile thinking about how off his rocker he was during the malice at the palace (google if you're unfamiliar).
So much for that. We can't have nice things.

I happen to know a little of the "behind the scenes" on this one. The apology, donation, and classes were a result of quick-thinking agents. He still believes what he believes. And no one called him out.

He never called the Rabbi

And he's not taking his agent's calls. This could have been swept under the rug in half a second, but it's about to get ugly. He's getting some really bad advice from some very famous people.

Yep, his agent is getting rough end of the stick.
DJ has some really bad talking points he wants to go with.

You want to see bad talking points. See if you can find Don Lemon's piece last night with the guy defending DJ. Don Lemon tried everything he could to help the guy out but he just kept digging the hole deeper.

Honestly, I think it's great. It will force some very public discussions about Farrakhan, Sharpton, and systematic anti-Semitism in the AA communities.

Won't that depend where he talks?

You might find the root is pure ignorance.

No, the root is people in power finding an "other" to hate to unite the people. Black preachers railing against the Jews having money and running the world is unfortunately a lot more prevalent than one would think or like to believe. Ignorance on behalf of the people being preached at, I'd agree with, but that doesn't make it any less systemic or problematic.

Some, yes, but also where his defenders talk, and if they say things that can't be ignored. One example would be Stephen Jackson talking about the Rothschilds and Jews running the banks. Someone says that on a larger media outlet, hopefully it gets more attention.
