It kind of sucks when you make a racist remark and then realize the people who pay your salary are the targets of your stupidity. This is what seems to have happened to the NFL Eagles' DeSean Jackson. After showing himself to be a totally racist douche nozzle, the football player offered the second apology for his disgusting social media posts he made over the weekend.
Either he's a good football player because he wasn't thrown off the team, or the people in charge of hiring and firing suck.
Jackson's apology was directed to the Jewish community as well as Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman, both of whom are Jewish, but probably secular Jews who aren't as taken aback by Jew hatred as the orthodox Jews who are frequently attacked physically just blocks from their homes.

“I want to apologize to the Jewish community, Jeffrey Lurie, Howie Roseman, Doug Pederson, the Eagles organization and our fans for the insensitive and ill-informed posts that I shared on my social media,” Jackson disingenuously wrote. “My intention was to uplift, unite, and encourage our culture with positivity and light. Unfortunately, that did not happen."
Yes, making anti-Semitic comments is the perfect way to uplift, unite and encourage others to be more positive in life.
He POS added: “I unintentionally hurt the Jewish community in the process and for that I am sorry! Now, more than ever, we must work together to end discrimination of all types and against all people and communities. This apology is more than just words -- it is a promise to do better. I will fully educate myself and work with local and national organizations to be more informed and make a difference in our community.
“I will consider my words and actions moving forward,” Jackson claimed.

“I will seek out voices from other communities and listen to their words, thoughts, and beliefs. In a time of division, I am committed to doing my part in making this world a better place for our children.”
Prior to his asinine post on Twitter, the football player put out a near-two minute contrite video explaining the posts and apologizing for them.
“I’ve been getting a lot of backlash and a lot of feedback from the Instagram posts I put on my Instagram story," he says in the video. "I just want to extend an apology on behalf of me and what I stand for because … I never want to put any race down or put any people down. My post was definitely not intended for anybody of any race to feel any type of way – especially the Jewish community. What I posted … I definitely didn’t mean it to the extent that you guys took it."

You know what, screw him. I'm sick and tired of people saying crap, getting a backlash, then apologizing for what they really believe.
Jackson is a racist. Period. I don't care what he pretends to feel anymore.
Screw you.
The only reason you're apologizing is because you've been outed. Had white supremacists and BLM voiced support of your words, this apology would have never happened.
And the Eagles will pretend this never happened.
Take a knee, NFL. When I hear a national anthem for all diverse groups: the Asians, Indians, Native Americans, Hispanics, and any group I left out, then I will watch you again.
