re: #44 HappyWarrior

I’m familiar with the story. Johnson should get a posthumous pardon but uh shouldn’t be busy with other things?

Posthumous pardons are feel good fuckshit. They don’t actually right any wrong and are only designed to absolve society of deserved guilt. In this case it’s even worse because the pardon is a passive aggressive whitewash of continuing institutional racism and racist police brutality.
