What is the “Great White Hope” mentioned in Woman In Chains?
The “Great White Hope” was originally a nickname given to James Jeffries, a white boxer defeated by the first black heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson, in 1910. A movie with the same title starring James Earl Jones (1970) was loosely based on this story. In the ‘Woman In Chains’ video, the protagonist’s husband is a boxer and also a domestic abuser. It’s possible this line is a metaphorical reference to domestic abuse.
