.<\/span><\/span><\/p>En 1910, el primer campe\u00f3n afroamericano de peso pesado del boxeo profesional, Jack Johnson, estaba en la cima de su carrera. Noqueando a un oponente tras otro, el legendario boxeador parece no tener competencia en este deporte, pero la masa en los EE.UU. no tolera este \u00e9xito y los medios, los analistas y los empresarios del espect\u00e1culo rezan para que la "gran esperanza blanca" (James Jeffries) volver al boxeo y ganar a Johnson. Eso es exactamente lo que est\u00e1 pasando. Jeffries anuncia que volver\u00e1 al ring, y a esto agrega una cita repugnante que ha quedado en la historia hasta el d\u00eda de hoy: "Voy a esta pelea con el \u00fanico prop\u00f3sito de demostrar que el hombre blanco es mejor que el negro." <\/p>
Estas palabras llegaron en 1909, cuando se firm\u00f3 el contrato para la pelea. Jeffries tiene que perder mucho peso, pero est\u00e1 dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa para vencer a su oponente. Los dos acuerdan 110.000 d\u00f3lares (75% para el ganador, 25% para el perdedor), as\u00ed como los derechos de una pel\u00edcula que se realizar\u00e1 sobre la pelea. La pelea se anuncia como "un boxeador blanco ic\u00f3nico contra el boxeador negro m\u00e1s infame". <\/p>
En v\u00edsperas de la pelea, la tensi\u00f3n entre las dos razas se intensifica seriamente, y durante la pelea los fan\u00e1ticos tienen prohibido consumir alcohol, traer armas e incluso manzanas, porque la fruta puede usarse contra los boxeadores. El partido tuvo lugar el 4 de julio de 1910 ante 20.000 personas en Nevada, y el ring de Reno se construy\u00f3 especialmente para el evento. Casi todos en la arena est\u00e1n del lado de Jeffries, quien fue anunciado como el favorito antes de la pelea, y gran parte de Estados Unidos espera que gane "La Gran Esperanza Blanca". Pero eso no es lo que sucede en el ring. <\/p>
Qued\u00f3 claro desde el primer gong que Johnson era, con diferencia, el mejor boxeador, al menos en esta etapa de la vida de los dos atletas. Con golpes de izquierda brutalmente fuertes y una velocidad asombrosa para un boxeador de peso pesado, el actual campe\u00f3n mundial somete met\u00f3dicamente a su oponente, derrib\u00e1ndolo en el cuarto asalto. Hasta el asalto 15, Jeffries no asest\u00f3 ning\u00fan golpe significativo en el combate, mientras que Johnson logr\u00f3 derribar a su oponente una vez m\u00e1s. Y mientras todos esperaban un nocaut en el asalto 15, el rinc\u00f3n de entrenamiento de Jeffries arroja una toalla blanca al ring para terminar la pelea y evitar que el ex campe\u00f3n pierda por nocaut. As\u00ed, la "gran esperanza blanca" est\u00e1 de rodillas, y Johnson defiende su t\u00edtulo y recibe enormes elogios incluso de sus mayores cr\u00edticos. Desafortunadamente, Estados Unidos como naci\u00f3n claramente no est\u00e1 preparado para aceptar la realidad del pa\u00eds, como lo demuestran los acontecimientos posteriores. <\/p>
El 4 de julio, D\u00eda de la Independencia en los EE.UU., despu\u00e9s de la pelea, comenzaron violentos esc\u00e1ndalos racistas en todo el pa\u00eds y la desaprobaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica hacia los negros alcanz\u00f3 su punto m\u00e1ximo. Los enfrentamientos ocurren en hasta 25 estados y 50 ciudades. Al menos 20 personas han muerto como consecuencia de los disturbios que estallaron en distintos puntos del pa\u00eds tras la victoria de Johnson. <\/p>
