Which does give you the rather ironic situation that if McCain had won - he WOULD have pardoned Jack (I think we have to make that assumption given that he is now leading the campaign)
I cant disagree that a lot of people had many worse fates than Jack Johnson due to the colour of the scene, but I guess what really does trouble me is the difference between the way white America views someone like Jack to the way they view someone like Joe Louis.
