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...

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?

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

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.
