Jesse Owens v/s Hitler

wikipedia - In 1936 Owens arrived in Berlin to compete for the United States in the Summer Olympics. Adolf Hitler was using the games to show the world a resurgent Nazi Germany. He and other government officials had high hopes German athletes would dominate the games with victories. Meanwhile, Nazi propaganda promoted concepts of "Aryan racial superiority" and depicted ethnic Africans as inferior.

It should be noted that one of the German long-jumpers helped Jesse to get his steps down right on that day.

Jesse still won fair and square - a monumental athelete in his own right.

Just because Hitler preached that "Aryan superiority" bullshit, doesn't mean that all of Germany fell for it.
