    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.

    It is important to pardon Jack Johnson as his reputation lives on and that needs clearing.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
