Wait you're having a go at him for righting a verdict based on the racism of the authorities at that time? Or are you arguing that the United States was some kind of utopian racially equal environment? He is doing this now because he has long had a role in trying to reform the sport. I wouldn't have voted for him, but he's only righting a conviction than came about because of the racism at the time, even the Attorney General said it wasn't what the law was meant for. Jack Johnson got that conviction because of his status at the time and his attitude towards authority in other matters not for actually being a criminal.
