Obama Presidential Pardon for Boxing Champ Jack Johnson?

[JonesJrMayweather]

Personally i think there way more important shit for the pres to worry about than a posthumous pardon. Things like people being laid off because of the economy and the silly ongoing war...

I'm not trying to be racist, but does it mean as much if a black president instead of a white president gives Jack Johnson the pardon? It just feels to me that it doesn't demonstrate the proper accountability for what was done to Jack.

Fukkin racist

bud you don't really have the best track record when it comes to that either lol

.....and all he does is WORRY about them he can't be bothered to ACT on anything. I mean simple fucking questions like "Will you give me more troops to help out in Afghanistan?" go unanswered for WEEKS!!!

Am I off topic I mean I am talking about Obama and how he is having a difficult time with very meaningful decisions as it is, without having to worry about the ramifications if he pardons Jack Johnson

stick to it being strictly about the Jack Johnson pardon, and not about the pointless war in Iraq/Afghanistan

...if Obama can't make his mind up about something serious then why the hell should he worry about pardoning someone who has been dead for nigh on 60 years? I was just making an observation that is pertenant to the topic of this thread so you can fuck off, thank you very much

No you weren't. This the BOXING board. So the topic is Jack Johnson not Obama & his other policies. There's no need to get abusive to ElTerrible just because he thinks it's completely irrelevant to bring up here, particularly when there's at least 2 other boards for this thing. 3 if you include spam, which if you turn this into being about Obama, is where this should end up.

Anyway I agree with Myk Myk, when he's got the time he should definitely do this, it won't take him that long surely.

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.
