    He was a God to the black people at the time. Why didn't blacks get some fundraisers going and get the IRS gestapo agency off his ass? I'm sure lots of money would have come in from all races of people worldwide.

    Guy 1: "I hate to say it, but many of the white people in the south didnt wanna see Louis win"

    Guy 2: A very old(80-90yrs), very serious faced guy saying...

    "Well in Brooklyn, the neighbourhood i lived in was practically all Jewish. And we were all hoping and praying, that err..Joe Louis would..kick the **** out of him" *nod nod*

    talking of the Schmeling fight
