RE: Jack Johnson ..... The Philosophy of not giving a F*** what People Think!
Your definately right about that, I always think a better term is 'ignorance' though and thats why I believe that some of the sports stars ... Ali, Jessie Owens and Mr Johnson did more for race relations than MLK or Malcolm could do, simply because sports relates to every human on the planet and reaches more souls than intellectualising ever does.
In some places, and I include Arkansas among them, the ignorance is willful. At least among the older generations, who don't mind people of color being a source of entertainment, but would never invite them over for dinner. Fortunately, those people are dying off and taking their hate with them.
