I'm a Maskil (Jewish religious title) and write and teach on antisemitism.

What DeSean Jackson posted was bad. However, he made a video apologizing, said he felt he was misinterpreted and would educate himself. That's good with me and I'm okay with him. We all make mistakes and learning is about learning from out mistakes. I'm against that cancel and call out-culture crap and saying someone should be fired from their job because of some mistake or dumb post or doesn't pass some ideological purity test.

A saying of mine is "Don't tell people to apologize if you aren't going to accept their apology."

However, Stephen Jackson is another story. He made himself look like a complete ignoramus and embarrassed himself with the clueless things he said. And he calls himself a racial justice activist? If he was white and said like things about blacks, he probably would have been banned from wherever for a longtime.

There's antisemitism in the far left just as there is in the far right.
