I find it curious that when a WHITE man says nappy headed ho's its racist, but listening to SOME rap it is OK for black singers to degenerate their own and everybody else? While I do not condone Don Imus's stupidity to say racism is only from WHITE to everybody else is quite simply to live in denial. While in Norfolk Virginia I made the mistake of walking down Church Street and almost got stoned, and beaten down by thrown bottles I hate to imagine what would have happened had this event happened to a non white in a white neighborhood. In my case I was told by the Police it was my fault for being in THEIR part of town?
So in the end when you address ALL racism by ALL to any I can support you, til then I can only say to you be your way and to me be mine, hopefully one day we can meet to pursue JUSTICE FOR ALL NOT SOME.

Thank You
Benjamin

"I WORKED on the project for over a year so people coild see the struggles an Early Black athlete/celebrity had to overcome."- DH2

Thank you for commenting Mr.DH2

I suspect that your visit to my blog is a result of some Shadow Boxing attempt by Glenn Haumann to put you and I at odds. Never the less, I have read Jack Johnson's autobiography and the toilet paper (the writing not the artwork) that is called the "Original Johnson".

It is a complete disgrace to the very interesting story that Mr. Johnson wrote about himself. The comic book, makes Mr. Johnson look like he was sodomized, illiterate, sex-crazed, obsessed with "white" women, and physically abused by his "mother". What I mention here is just a small tidbit of the lies that the comic book series spits out. If I were Trevor, and I wrote and professed to believe this crap, in order to let people "learn" about who Jack Johnson was, I'd be embarrassed. I'd be ashamed of myself.

I didn't have to dig far into Jack Johnson's history either. Every point mentioned in your "year long project", took me only a few minutes of reading HIS BOOK to learn the truth.

Have YOU read Jack Johnson's autobiography entitled "Jack Johnson is a Dandy"?

Can you honestly say that this crap is something that helps people learn the TRUTH about Jack Johnson?

If you say YES, then you are either getting paid to say this (which you are, because its your project right?) OR you are being mislead by what one (Glenn perhaps?) or more of your co-workers has told you.

Either which way, it does not reveal the truth.

I am glad that the comic was written,however, because if it weren't for the blatant lies that it spewed about Mr. Johnson, I would not have read his autobiography and learned the truth about him. Unfortunately for most people (who are "wow-ed" by artwork, and fancy writing), what they "learn" about him, will stop with your "year long project" that I call trash.

Nothing personal here, it's just business.

It's not to late. You can always admit you've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, or lead astray.

It has happened to most of us, and will continue until we exist in a system of Justice.

Hi, im one of the artist on the "Original Johnson" story By Trevor Von Eeden and I have read your dissection of something of which you are at BEST speculating on. Glen Haumann did not write ANY of the book. Your "reveiw" is so chock full of speculative paranoid bullshit I don't know where to start. I WORKED on the project for over a year so people coild see the struggles an Early Black athlete/celebrity had to overcome. Being a Black man,this was incredibly important to me. So you can't find anything that Trevor has written? He is very much a brilliant artist and a talented writer..Did you EVER think that he might use a PEN NAME when he writes? He didn't write this himself because you THINK he didn't? (you have no proof,I have Trevor's scripts)You ASSUMED Glen Haumann wrote this because you couldn't find anything on Trevor?(oh,wait,I have the scripts AND I worked intimately on the project,so I actually might know what I'm talking about.)You seem like the type( I wont read anything else on the site,its just too offensive,its like you see racism in fine print on cereal boxes. Open your eyes and do more research before you drop a "jewel" on 'em. Get Bent.

Now, THAT'S following the logic. This is the kind of DETAILED thinking---both concrete and abstract---that non-white people will need to make a habit in order to replace the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy) with a system of justice. And, that thinking needs to be in areas that escape glittering attention as well as that do--such as comic books and movies. The corners are where a lot of important but small wildlife hide (insects.

Please be encouraged and keep up the good work.
