Descendant of Jack Johnson wants President Trump to pardon first black boxing heavyweight champion

[RaginCajun]

Truly a great use of the Presidents time. How is the Middle East going?

It's the asshole of the world, like it has been for a long time lol. Nothing Trump can do about that.

He can, however, pardon an old boxer who got dicked around!

 

[MMAHAWK]

Johnson deserves a full pardon.

And random celebrities shouldn't have a direct line to the president, to talk about random shit.

Shithole President.

As regulator and chief of mischief I agree. If they pardoned that cunt tranny whistle blower and that fat bitch Hillary didn't get the chair I say they let everyone get a pardon

Funny that Obama would pardon Chelsea Manning - a proven traitor - and not pardon Jack Johnson.

Just like it was weird Obama would grow up a pot head, and then perpetuate the prohibition of marijuana once he got in a position to change it.

Change, my ass. No integrity, Obama.

What you think about this @Kneeblock ? Slam dunk for Trump?

I'm glad he's willing to do it and can't really fathom why his predecessors didn't, but I'm not crazy about Johnson's life being used as a political prop.

I'll reserve judgment until I see the language of the posthumous pardon, which hopefully reflects on the nation's legacy of legalized racism.

I think calling it a political prop might be a bit of a stretch seeing as (sadly) the vast majority of people don't know who the fuck Jack Johnson was.

Most people be like... why Trump is pardoning that ukulele guy?

 

[Dat Pre-HollyHolm Ronda $]

Great news, and lets be honest it's low-hanging fruit for Trump. What Democrat would be crazy enough to fight that? Even CNN would have to say something nice about him.

They'll find something to fight him for on it and then make sure he's labeled a racist to boot

Black folks do

Black folks do

If they did, the popular opinions about boxing history would be completely different. Think about the regard that Ali is held in and tell me you ever hear Johnson spoke about that way.

Been black all my life (Haha I made a funny) and all my relatives and most every black person
I know at least knows who Jack Johnson was

I'm older though...today's kids are stupid as fuck so you may be onto something...

 

[Dat Pre-HollyHolm Ronda $]

He broke the law.
Why should he be pardoned?

Cuz he lived in a age where black people were considered to be 1/3rd of a man and laws were bullshit

We did it guys!


Ali just got pardoned (even tho his conviction was already overturned)

Getting closer

I'm sure he appreciates it.

 

[fightcity]

If he didn't pardon him we'd have to listen to the left cry racist again for another year at least. Of course thats what the left was hoping for.
