Jacob Blake's dad has some, shall we say, strong opinions

 In this day and age, anyone with some proximity to the center of a nationwide controversy is going to get hi or her social media perused. Such is the case with Jacob Blake, Sr., who has posted some rather pungent viewpoints in recent years:

Blake Sr.’s Facebook posts . . show anti-Semitic comments (such as saying the Jews control the media), repeatedly refer to white people as “crackers” and “pinks” or “pink toes,” trash the Christian church, and refer to some women as “hoes.” In one post, he wrote, “Fresh out of Facebook penitentiary I say f*** the white man.” In 2019, he captioned a graphic that reads “white Jesus exposed as the biggest fraud unleashed on the planet,” with the following: “Crackers have never told the truth diabolical Liars.” The posts date to 2019 and 2018.

His posts often criticized racial disparities in society and the mistreatment of Blacks, from slavery onward, such as when he wrote, “Not one North American penny should be donated to the rebuilding of Notre Dame until Flint’s water has been fixed.”

There's more:

He wrote, “Crackers” on a post about a list of Illinois Catholic clergy accused of sexual misconduct.

“When The F*** was America Great For Brown People?” read another post.

“Catholic crackers,” said another post. He shared a graphic reading, “If Black people were as violent as white people have convinced you they are, there would be no white people left” and “This is what crackers do” and “The nerve to call me a racist with your white pale skin cancer getting hypocritical funky a**.”

“It is kill or be killed,” wrote Blake in 2019. He shared a graphic that read, “Why do black people believe that living around white people mean they’re doing good in life? Are we really that retarded?”

This is the man who raised the young man now in custody who, at the time of his recent run-in with law enforcement, was being sought on a warrant for criminal trespassing, domestic abuse and sexual assault and had a rap sheet going back to 2015.  

Sometimes it takes a little while for the whole truth to emerge.
