Sidenote: I think that Jesse Owens did a great deal to reduce hatred, but the biggest achievement of those games was that he conclusively and empirically demonstrated the falsehood of “white supremacy.” Hitler’s core value wasn’t “hate,” it was “entitlement.” He was telling the world, I am going to run things, not because I hate you (even though I do), but because I am superior to you and therefore ENTITLED to do so.” Jesse snatched that plank from Adolph and the so-called Aryans.
