You hear echoes of his story in the stories of O.J. Simpson,

I'm going to let that one speak for itself.

[Peter Libra]

Of great interest in this corner. Nice to be reminded of the days when one foolishly spent one's time, pouring over records and seeing old films. If one has to deal with this immortal statement vis:"Man's inhumanity to man, makes countless thousands mourn"- Robert Burns,then, how has Johnson been treated?.

True, he went to Leavenworth. How many were really brutalised in prisons for their offences? Johnson boxed there, he was in charge of an athletics program. Obviously the memory of Johnson, is being used for politically correct purposes. Others were treated many times worse and never made it out to live fairly normal lives.

To digress and put in a little white pride, it was old bare knuckle fighter, Joe Choynski, (175 pounds) who ko'd Johnson in three rounds 1901. Both men jailed afterward Choynski said to have shown Johnson a few tricks in their brief stay in durance vile. afterward.

Enough of pardons.
