I’d be interested to see the racial makeup of all the pardons.
One of the criteria is people of color.

First felon listed :
WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, the President granted commutation of sentence to the following 111 individuals:
Malik Abuhamid Ibm Wakil Abdunafi Baltimore, MD
Offense: Conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute at least 500 grams of cocaine, at least 50 grams of cocaine base (crack), heroin, and marijuana; distribution of cocaine and cocaine base (crack); distribution of heroin; possession with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine, at least five grams of cocaine base (crack), heroin, and marijuana; Middle District of Pennsylvania
Sentence: 240 months’ imprisonment; 10 years’ supervised release; $100,000 forfeiture (August 31, 2007)
I was JUST thinking the same thing
Obama explicitly states in the criteria that no white people will have sentences commuted or be pardoned. Blacks only.
Oh sorry, “People Of Color”.
Bingo. My question as well.
