Malcolm Jenkins, a CNN contributor and defensive back for the Saints, weighed in on the recent issues of DeSean Jackson and anti-semitism, calling it a “distraction” from the black movement and urging his followers to “stay focused” on their core mission of racial justice:

Jenkins’ overall message was hypocritical in the broader sense of the quest for societal equality. Conversations about racial equality are not mutually exclusive with conversations about why it’s problematic to invoke Hitler and praise the anti-semite Louis Farrakhan.
However, the video probably would’ve gone into the ether without the caption:
“We can honor the Jewish heritage and trauma while staying focused on what matters. Jewish people aren’t our problem, and we aren’t their problem. Let’s not lose focus on what the problem truly is, and that’s that black lives still don’t matter in this country.
Push this energy toward arresting and convicting the killers of Breonna Taylor and burning systemic racism to the ground. ✊?”
Yeesh. It’s really hard to know where to start, but Jenkins clearly isn’t building bridges by suggesting that we listen to him but pay less attention to the grievances of other people. DeSean Jackson is taking reasonable steps in listening about why what he shared on Instagram is wrong, but Stephen Jackson has a block at understanding why that rhetoric feels like dog whistles to Jewish people is very hard to understand and Malcolm Jenkins clearly isn’t showing peak sensitivity either.
Please reopen shit back up so people can get back to being productive so I can stop listening to this shit every day. Good fucking Lord.
Lol
right on
Lol
Jenkins is totally insufferable, like lebron and shannon sharpe. Lectures people and acts all high and mighty. Zero humility. CNN rewards this behavior.
Holy shit. What an awful reply. These people are ignorant. They’ve tanked their cause in three days. At least they’re vocal about it so they’re leaving no doubt?
With statements like that, these social justice supporters are creating racial divide within the country.
I’m wondering if it’s white supremacy for white people to pay to watch malcom play football? It’s hard to keep up with this garbage’ (in a French accent)
There are no boundaries with these knuckleheads anymore. No checkdowns, no nothing – as least as it relates to railing on America and certain Americans. I’m not sure when sanity will come back around, but I have a feeling something really drastic will have to happen first.
“Shame” has been cancelled…as long as your wayyyyyyy left of center.
I think those folks at that Kosher deli in New York would disagree.
