So many more pressing important decisions to be made in the U.S. then worrying about a pardon for something that happened nearly 100 years ago, put this on the far back burner and work on the millions of issues at hand like (JOBS) in the millions that are gone, quit wasting time on an issue that has no merit to waste time on at this time. Mixed races are accepted, but should it consume the government and take away from real pressing issues at this time.

---

Why are you naysayers acting like this is some huge undertaking that will "consume the government"? That's ridiculous, all he has to do is sign his fucking name and maybe make a short statement, and it's done.

---

still doesnt change the fact jack johnson is dead, the pardon is pointless. The people that did it arent going to jail because they got away with. Jack's already lost that time out his life when he had to flee the country. Did I already say HE'S FUCKING DEAD. So who cares anyway? That's my point....How about a pardon for guys that are actually still alive suffering from corrupt judicial system?

Why does it matter? So Johnson's relatives should have to wait another 3 years for a pardon because Obama isn't white :confused:

Obama should do it, not because he's black, but because its the right thing to do. That's all there is to it.

---

thats my point is that, it has taken this long for it to happen. Thats what I am mad about that none of the white presidents actually went out and gave the man a pardon when he was treated the way he was. If Obama gives him the pardon its great, but it should have been done years ago.

Fukkin racist

---

I am racist because I don't feel its a black man's job to clean up an embarrassing mess us white people made? It shouldn't have taken this long for the pardon to happen, a black man being pardoned for being black by a black man doesn't make sense to me when it was our racist ancestors who commited this attrocity among others, and thats the point, this represents symbolically represents something very important and yet like I've said already, no white president has followed through with the pardon.

Please God, dont be thinking about any medals or accolades for Ruben Carter! There's still way too many unanswered questions in his case, Many insiders don't believe the large % of the worlds hype through Dylans song on that one, or the film.

It is important to pardon Jack Johnson as his reputation lives on and that needs clearing.

A symbol of what? and for who for that matter? Very few people outside of boxing even know who Jack was.
