Stephen Jackson Defends DeSean Jackson's Anti-Semitic Posts, Says He Was 'Speaking the Truth'

Former NBA player Stephen Jackson defended a series of anti-Semitic posts from NFL receiver DeSean Jackson earlier this week, saying the Eagles wideout was "speaking the truth."

On Monday, DeSean Jackson shared an anti-Semitic quote on social media that he falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler, according to the fact-checking website Snopes. [White Jews] will blackmail America," the quote read. "[They] will extort America, their plan for world domination won't work if the Negroes know who they were."

In a since-deleted video, Stephen Jackson called the receiver's anti-Semitic posts "the truth."

"So I just read a statement that the Philadelphia Eagles posted regarding DeSean Jackson's comments," Stephen Jackson said in a video posted on Instagram that is since deleted.
