Most great men of the world seemed like the opposite of what they later became. Adolf Hitler was idle and confused about life even in his late 20s.

Hitler was not great, he is a lesser human

Wow 1908 everyone in that picture is completely dead abd buried. Same thing will also happen to we the current generation. There nothing in this life that worth dieing for or killing your fellow man to achieve it. It's completely meaningless

Stop being foolish,of course everyone shall die but that dosent mean you should remain docile in life and just await your death.

They are many things to kill and die for. Most important of them should be your interest,followed by your family.

Jack Johnson... Frozen in time and space.
From plantation slavery (of his forebears) to heavyweight boxing glory (26th December, 1908). The triumph of the human spirit.

Nice thread.

He was born on March 31, 1878, so, how could the iconic former heavyweight champion have survived the America Civil War which took place between 1861-1865?

You truly are a FALSE PROPHET and deserve to be flipped right out of the window or into the trash can like a piece of used tissue paper. grin

The Harbinger of Good Fortunes for Black Boxers

I read his story more than 25 years ago in Ebony Magazine.

He was so fast that he would hit an opponent with a particular hand and then defend or block with the same hand.

He was obsessed with speed. He loved fast cars, fast women etc.

He literally paved the way for other black boxers like Ali, Frazer and more.
