Trump pardons Jack Johnson. Obama refused.
http://www.newser.com/story/259732/t...mpaign=rss_top

President Donald Trump has granted a rare posthumous pardon to boxing's first black heavyweight champion more than 100 years after what Trump said many feel was a racially motivated injustice.

Judging by PA-OTG content, I thought Obama pardoned
every black man ever incarcerated?
He was a busy man, though.

Trump sees this from an entirely different angle.
Both of these men had their share of women troubles.
At least, Jack Johnson's are over with.

So you two are on record that this guy should not have been pardoned? Because he was Black.

I guess we all know what that means.......

Absolutely pathetic. Regardless of color all players that kneeled were wrong.

I hope that 15 yard penalty is for each infraction - would be interesting to see 6 pts on the scoreboard before the game starts.

Jack Johnson enjoyed his life in spite of pretty much being a man on an island. He was a thorn in the side of whites who did not see blacks as equals and was looked down upon by black leaders of the day for not setting a good example and not giving back to the black community.
