    Just like Michael Jackson did. Anyone else and they would have been demonized, but nah people liked thriller so let him have a kid or two.

    its a joke.
    Joe Louis did get special treatment.

    The treatment was very bad.
    The treatment was indeed bad. But it was made worse by the fact that Joe Louis had no fucking spine. He was a great fighter. No doubt about that. But when it came down to sticking up for himself and telling white America "Fuck you" he was a pussy

    Joe was more like Frederick Douglass to Ali who was more like Marcus Garvey.
    Douglass wanted to love America -even though he knew they didn't love him & Garvey wanted to go where he was loved in return. Just like Ali.

    He wasnt spineless, he was simply misguided on who had is back.
