    The white race controlled boxing and their was no chance Johnson was getting a title shot. He was deeply hated and once he lost to Willard was ignored.

    Although Wills was not hated as was Johnson as a black heavyweight he was not getting a title shot. Absolutely no chance. Dempsey tried hard to make the bout occur but in the end their were too many roadblocks.

        Johnson friends did not control boxing. They did not represent the lay public. Johnson was deeply hated by white America. Once he lost to Willard he was a shunned fighter for the remainder of his career.

          - -U distinctly drew a line in the sand with "The White Race."

          All Inclusive.

          U can't even speak with a forked tongue. Congenitally confined to speaking in stoopidese?

          Had U a nanogram of scientific training, U would understand a large majority of modern scientists have stated there is no scientific basis for a concept of race. Now I could go on, but I'd prefer U to grow up and study up.

            Suggest you try to understand history rather than make everything up as you go.

                    I highly doubt your intellectual merit. Everything you post is written in a language no one can decipher. Eating raccoon and squirrel as you do may have something to do with it.

                      Most of the black press in the day disapproved of Johnson's activities that were threatening post Civil war gains.

                      Sorta like Ali/NOI bringing ill repute on post WW2 civil rights gains.
