Would it be racist if Obama only released Black prisoners?

All drug dealers. Would love to see their rap sheets as I’d bet they’ve got previous multiple arrests for similar offenses. These people weren’t first time offenders by any means.

Wow..all of them were convicted of selling cocaine, crack or meth...

Several were given life sentences, wonder how many were convicted and given life for doing three strikes and you are a lifer...?

Personally, if are convicted of selling cocaine, crack or meth especially to kids...you should be pushing up daisies..

Severe penalties for selling drugs by death...might make make them think twice about doing such culturally destructive things...

Of Course, the TOP-DRUGEE-IN-CHARGE felt bad for some of his brethren.

Barack Obama on Tuesday shortened the prison sentences of nearly two dozen drug convicts, including eight serving life in prison

Words fail me.

...shortened the prison sentences of nearly two dozen drug convicts, including eight serving life in prison, in an act the White House said continues Obama's push to make the justice system fairer by reducing harsh sentences that were handed down under outdated guidelines.
Instead, they should have their sentences changed to execution, because clearly that's the reason for the life sentences.

Obama’s end of term clemencies are gonna be epic, I’m afraid.

I think you are right. He is just getting warmed up. Bergdahl's pardon is coming soon too.

Me too, though I suspect for a different reason. Why the heck are people being sentenced to life in prison for nonviolent drug offenses?

Next on Obama/Holder’s pardon list: John Wayne Gacy; Ramirez, the Night Stalker; the Zodiac Killers; Jeffrey Dahmer (posthumously), Ted Bundy, and Collin Ferguson (subway/train killings).

Now that will be a great example of “redistributive justice”.

All fine upstanding citizens. Many are black and Hispanic who preyed upon their own people for money. Obama’s kind of people.
