Put some respect on his name and stop lying. It's time to end this silly contention once and for all. I've seen this lie over and over, and it's my pleasure to honor the great Jack Johnson by dispelling this silly notion.
1. How did Jack Johnson draw the color line....by fighting a black man in his 7th title defense?
Unless this is a white man, Jack Johnson couldn't have drawn the color line.
2. After he became champion, Jack Johnson signed to fight Joe Jeannette for the title, only to have the NY commission cancel the bout. Here is the proof.
New York Times--August 15th, 1912
3. Jack Johnson accepted fights with McVey and Langford. The bouts were pulled after he was bagged for the Mann Act bullshlt. Here is the proof.
New York Times -- October 13th, 1912
And the cancellation:
New York Times -- October 22nd, 1912
To tell lies about this man, especially after all he went through, is pathetic. Keep it above level and honor this great champion!
