I was just about to come in here and say what about Mumia!A few more hours, hoping that ole coot would free Mumia. LONGGGGG OVERDUE.
If Trump can free every dope peddler and murderer, can BiGOAT just free a revolutionary in the process
LolMore symbolic, feel good vibes that don't amount to anything for Black Americans.

Bro it’s like Biden is pardoning everybody but him.Like damn the history and these dope peddlers. Give me the true political warriors out to experience freedom.
Despite how some of you feel about Biden, he did the right thing here. The same ones in this thread criticizing Joe for not commuting him would be the same people, yet understandably, in such a scenario, scrutinizing him if he did; you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Biden posthumously pardons Black nationalist Marcus Garvey

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Sunday posthumously pardoned Black nationalist Marcus Garvey, who influenced Malcolm X and other civil rights leaders and was convicted of mail fraud in the 1920s. Also receiving pardons were a top Virginia lawmaker and advocates for immigrant rights, criminal justice reform and gun violence prevention.
Congressional leaders had pushed for Biden to pardon Garvey, with supporters arguing that Garvey’s conviction was politically motivated and an effort to silence the increasingly popular leader who spoke of racial pride. After Garvey was convicted, he was deported to Jamaica, where he was born. He died in 1940.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said of Garvey: “He was the first man, on a mass scale and level” to give millions of Black people “a sense of dignity and destiny.”
It’s not clear whether Biden, who leaves office Monday, will pardon people who have been criticized or threatened by President-elect Donald Trump.

Where in the blue fukk on this board did this happen?A few days ago, in an unrelated thread, I made a claim about how, generally speaking, some of you are hypocrites, and unashamed ones at that. Well, the responses throughout this thread are an example of why it's an accurate description for some of you.
Y'all criticized Biden for not commuting/pardoning Dylann Roof, an unsympathetic White Supremacist, and yet someone such as Marcus Garvey, a Black Nationalist, who is more deserving of being pardoned, strikes a nerve with a few of you .
