So by all publicly known accounts, he has reformed but you are unwilling to accept that he's done his time, reformed and made a better person out of himself but you're one of the first to run toward the boards on any issues where this type of behavior is targeted toward a black person.
Good for the goose, good for the gander. Equal rights doesn't mean special rights.

They have something just for that: Its called an "expungement."
It happened, you changed your life, all is forgiven and its "Kinda off your record.
But a "Pardon" as if the crimes never happened. Thats something I absolutely do not agree with. Racially motivated crimes are not forgivable to me. Take the expungement and shut the fuck up!!
I have a friend that royally fucked up at 20 years old. Major steroid drug dealer and did a laundry list of other bad shit, he went to jail and everything. Nothing violent which was probably his saving grace.
This kid happened to be a Genius in every sense of the word. After he got out of jail He went back to school got his MBA/JD(Master in Business+Law Degree) in 2 years from USC and is now a High powered LA attorney making serious money.
Keep in mind MBA Program at USC is 2 years(If you can get in) and a JD (Juris Doctorate) degree is a 3 year program. To do both at the same time and be at the top of your class in both programs is unheard of.
Now the super tricky part that astonishes me is; how can he be admitted to the California Bar with such a series of bad felonies? A normal person would never a "Moral Turpitude" background check.
Answer: This guy was donating his time with the the local Congressmen and Senators. Working on their campaigns, etc while he was going to school. Got his Republican Favor card and had the governor of California at the time (Pete Wilson) cash it in for a "Pardon."
Been friends with this guys since freshman year in high school. In high school he was building Sleeper Race Cars and racing for Pink slips all throughout High school. The guys was seriously a super genius jewish kid. Always accomplished anything and everything he set out to do. Before he started going back to school he told me his plan and I was: "Good Luck with that".
So its posible to get a Pardon you just need to not make it public and do it in backroom deals.
