Other Jack Johnson Quotes
I never doubted the issue from the beginning. I knew I was too good for Burns. I have forgotten more about fighting than Burns ever knew. For every point I'm given, I'll have earned two, because I'm a Negro. Johson beat Burns to became the first black heavyweight champion. Who told you I was yellow? You're white Tommy white as the flag of surrender!
