I celebrate the story of Jack Johnson because he was living proof that America was so racist that they would never tolerate such a man.

He did all that he did and lived to enjoy it openly because we are a nation of laws, and Jack Johnson had to be entrapped by law to get him.

It is sad that he was treated this way, but like some drunk flashing money downtown, he did nothing to avoid that persecution, like an idiot.

But if we were the Naxis then that so many leftists claim we are, then how did Jack Johnson get away with his overt behavior for so long?

The neoMarxist academians would never have allowed him to do so, nor would the Nazis or the Communists.

So no matter how 'bad' one wants to paint America of the segregated era, at least there was enough freedom then for a guy like Jack Johnson to piss everybody off.

A tip of the hat to ole Jack Johnson!
