    More Racially Biased: John L. or Corbett?

    Some insinuate the mighty John L. was a racially biased man. But tell me, was he half the racist Corbett was? Or do you even believe Corbett was?

    In the era of the color line, who was truly biased and who was merely reacting to peer and societal pressures?

      But verbally he lashed black 'uns more than any fighter I can think of. I do not think I have him confused with someone else.
