Obama pardoned three marijuana offenders and commuted the sentence of one crack offender, but the implications of his actions are not as optimistic as they may sound.
Phillip Smith, Drug War Chronicle. November 22, 2011.
Obama granted pardons to five people, three with marijuana-related convictions, and commuted the sentence of a woman doing more than 20 years on a crack charge.
West: "Obama has a team that understands the black agenda to be a narrow, parochial, provincial slice of America that he can assume he always has because he’s a black President."
