Jackson could not be immediately reached for comment.

Last weekend, Jackson was met with harsh criticism after posting a quote, falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler, saying that Black people were "the real Children of Israel," and that White Americans would be terrified to know that they have been "mistreating and discriminating and lynching them."

According to Snopes.com, the passage is often quoted by those arguing that Hitler was not racist.

Jackson later apologized for his post saying, "I just want to first off extend an apology on behalf of me and what I stand for, because you know, I'm one that's fair and I never want to put any race down or any people down.

I really didn't realize what this passage was saying."

"Hitler has caused terrible pain to Jewish people like the pain African-Americans have suffered.

We should be together fighting anti-Semitism and racism.
