C’mon guys. As long as black athletes win (and know their places) we are happy for them to beat foreigners.
The sorriest part of the legend was when the Jewish athletes, Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller, were cut from the relay team at the behest of Avery Brundage, Chairman of the Olympic committee and track coach, Dean Cromwell. Brundage and Cromwell were members of a pro-Nazi political group. At least on that occasion it was better to be black than Jewish-but how sweet it would have been to have American Jews stand above Nazis.
