HOW JACK JOHNSON OUTSMARTED THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.



HOW JACK JOHNSON OUTSMARTED THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.
When Jack Johnson violated racial laws by taking a white woman across state lines and became the first Black heavyweight world champion, the authorities launched a manhunt. But Johnson fled the country, lived in Europe, and even staged fights abroad, earning massive money. He wore custom suits, drove fast cars, and gave interviews laughing in the face of racism. When he returned to the U.S., he spent a year in prison – but emerged a legend: defiant and free.

  1. America is never racist, would never put a black man in jail for accompanying a white woman across state.

  2. And yet, no white men were EVER prosecuted for the same offense!
    If justice is blind she must've found her glasses!

  3. The Dixicrats are just like the Nazi party today in the Whiteouthouse.they probably have more blood on their hands than Republicans

  4. The man act was literally created because of this man.. my favorite boxer of all time.. his documentary is three hours long. I watched it three times.
