I didn't mean it that in depth,.. or to say it was the opposite of Nazi'ism,.. just that the pushing of Black Power by "The Fist" was the opposite of the "Aryan superiority" propaganda that the Nazis espoused. Obviously the National Socialist Party had a lot of other agendas going on along with that.
I think The Fist is a shame. I feel for Joe Louis. Pretty much no one going by there knows whose fist it is. And if you told them,.. most people these days don;t know who he was,.. or what he looked like. And having it there has meant that no one else did a proper memorial to Joe. Would be nice if they scrapped it and put up a 20' statue of Joe somewhere. People would know what the man looked like at least.
