Why couldn't people 100 years ago accept Jack Johnson as champion, and why will they not accept Wladimir Klitschko today? Why do people place so much importance on skin color?

Fantastic post.
This is true because a % of every race be they black white or yellow are purely racist and that will never change this is the nature of man. The only thing we can hope is that the good white, blacks & yellows outcast the bad blacks, whites & yellow.
Me? I don't care, I loved Tyson & I loved Holyfield & I Love the Klitschkos I have no reason to hate any of them.
Only problem is I doubt the world sees this the same way I do going by visual evidence thus far and that's DEEPLY disheartening. People aren't chasing new fighters because they want fresh blood they just hate the Klits and that's my issue.
