Jack Johnson was our first black heavyweight boxing champ, in an era when it was dangerous to be black, dangerous to marry a white woman, and to be a champion.

His conviction was an obviously racially motivated charge, and deserving of a pardon.

Funny, right? Obama, the first black president, wouldn’t pardon him…

…but, by some accounts the ‘most racist’ President just did.

But, we suspect that this President knew what Jack Johnson went through, back then.

Not of the Swamp and being attacked by Swamp denizens daily, President Trump knows how Mr. Johnson felt, what it is to have implacable forces pitted against him…

…just like Jack.

Well done, Mr. President.
