Should hall of famers who drew the color line not be rated as highly?

    utter it to the mass slavery of a continent based on skin colour, large scale murder of blacks, invasion of countless small countries for oil and the bombing of Japanese women and children.

    both the Nazi and America were as bad as each other, in fct I'd say on measure America caused way worse problems.

    the yanks entered when the war was won, largely for plunder.

    with an army that observed the color line in its own ranks.

    keep learning.

    If you want a guy of today who everybody seems to want to run away from, Guillermo Rigodoneaux, they are not running away, because he's black, or because he's Cuban it's cos his style, and the all important factor, high risk low return. Now are you going to defame the guys who avoided him. Now why is it only whites like Dempsey being ostracized cos he didn't fight Wills, again its not always a black n white its a issue of the money and in some cases an issue of politics. Dempsey, hired black sparring partners, a black cook, to everybody the only thing that matters is that he supposedly avoided Wills. Gimme a break, People in that era thought that Dempsey would win the fight. Why is there no mention of the same tactics used to avoid black fighters by Robinson, Louis and Johnson, lets start a thread a week on why they avoided guys of their own race, you'll find the same answer in a majority of the cases, High risk, low return.

    Actually the Axis were winning the war at the point America entered.

    the fukk wat?, Russia were planning on entering Germany by the time the Americans landed.

    You think the US wouldnt have sided with Germany if the Nazis were winning? America had no love for jews, quite the opposite. And its cold hard fact that they waited to side with the dominant power.

    I'd mention that the USA likely used the A bomb to help annex Chinese oil before the japs got to it, but that's got to be too much truth for you brought up on your commie whipping movies.

    And D, Jack Dempsey paid the expenses of John Lester Johnson
    in a nursing home and Big George Godfrey a sparring partner when he died...But todays posters on ESB who are obsessed
    that Jack Dempsey did not fight Harry Wills THOUGH they DID SIGN for a bout which was cancelled because the Michigan promoter could not come up with the contracted money, through NO fault of Jack Dempsey...Even Harry Wills does not fault Dempsey. But his noble haters on ESB IGNORE this fact...Makes them feel so angelic like...

    You have to consider the time factor.

    Nazi regime 1933 - 1945
    12 years.



    "America" 1492-2015
    or independent US 1776-2015

    Hundreds of years now.

    HG, You sound like a bitter person, I guarantee you the Europeons, America liberated if you were to ask them, which would you rather have the Americans or the Nazi's, I will make a wild guess and say all of them. Do yourself a favor study history, the Japanese, ask the Chinese, and the Korean's about the Japanese. I guess you would love to have lived in those small countries under a dictatorship. What about the large scale slaughter of various people like the Jews, Russians, Muslims, Christians, who were enslaved for way more then 400 yrs. FYI, it wasn't whites, for the most part, who went into Africa and captured the blacks, it was blacks and Arabs. Jews and Russians paid a very heavy price in WWII in the war and that was what 70yrs you don't see them crying about the atrocities committed against they moved on.
