Hot take: DeSean Jackson's antisemitism actually was not met with "silence", rather he got dragged all across social media, in a way that was (a) perfectly justified under the circumstances and (b) entirely analogous to many other putative examples of "cancel culture".

I guarantee you DeSean Jackson's view of the last few days was not "huh -- I said something antisemitic and got away with it scot-free!" He took hits -- and again, deservedly so! -- from all sides. If you didn't see it, that's more you not paying attention than it not happening.

Fortunately, many in the NFL (from Zach Banner to Julian Edelman) modeled exactly the response one hopes to see in cases like this -- being clear that the antisemitism is intolerable, while also seeking to pivot to a positive outcome via engagement.

Sadly, I've noticed a trend where the response some right-wing Jews have to instances of antisemitism in the Black community is seemingly to be more frustrated by serious gestures at healing and growth than by the antisemitism itself.

They get excited at the opportunity to dunk on Black men, and resentful when they feel that opportunity being taken away -- even if the reason it's being taken away is b/c the Black community is responding exactly how we'd hope they'd respond to such cases of antisemitic hate.

See, e.g., what happened when LeBron James posted and then immediately and unreservedly apologized for quoting rap lyrics talking about Jewish money ( https://dsadevil.blogspot.com/2018/12/on-alice-walker-versus-lebron-james.html)

And for the record, yes, I'm subtweeting. https://forward.com/opinion/450511/cancel-culture-comes-for-all-sins-except-anti-semitism/
