Propaganda vs Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson the first African American boxer who won the heavy weight champion. He struggled so much to get where he was when he won. White Supremacy showed effect on Johnson. He would be threatened, he would be made fun of. He was portrayed as a monkey in multiple news articles. Articles where the way that people got their news, famous news reporters like NY times. Not racist articles from white people trying to bring more hate against him. Once he obtained his fame Johnson was surprisingly able to go places where blacks were not allowed. He became a business man, a vary smart business man he knew when to quit. He wasn't the best with females, he got a lot of hate for sleeping with hundreds of white young women.

I feel that all these comments that were thrown at Jack Jahnson came from anger and frustration because they saw that Jack Johnson really was the best and when they tried to insult him with racial slurs he would just laugh and play along. He would keep winning and he acted like a white person with money and that made the white people mad because back then a black person wasn't suppose to be successful because whites ran the country.
