The Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has come under fire for a post on Instagram in which he said Jews "will blackmail America," a quote he falsely attributed to Hitler.
DeSean said the Jews "will extort America, their plan for world domination won't work if the Negroes know who they were," triggering an online firestorm that forced him to take the post down.

His online rant claimed that Hitler supposedly explained why white Jews will control America: "Hitler said, 'because the white Jews know that the Negroes are the real Children of Israel and to keep Americas secret the Jews will blackmail America.'"
Additionally, Jackson posted a photo of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan delivering his three-hour Fourth of July address in which Farrakhan stated that "Israel is the reason guns, drugs, counterfeit money are in black neighborhoods," and that Jews had poisoned him with "radiated seed" to test whether he was truly a man of God.
In an October 2018 speech, Farrakhan told his followers, "When they talk about Farrakhan, call me a hater, you know how they do – call me an anti-Semite. Stop it, I'm anti-termite!"

Jackson ultimately deleted the videos and apologized, stating that "Hitler was a bad person and I know that, I was just trying to uplift African Americans... and enlighten my people."
In another written apology Jackson stated that he "unintentionally hurt the Jewish community" by siding with the Nazi tyrant and Farrakhan.
The owner and general manager of the Eagles are both Jewish.
