    I don't mean racist in the way leftists use the word. I mean he's probably one that stereotypes people. Which everyone does tbh. Black people stereotype white people all the while. And the thing is i don't know whether those stereotypes are justified or not. They might well be tbh. Especially since it isn't claimed that he detains innocent people, but that he detains illegals.

    I'm saying that that characterization is irrelevant in the face of the greater issue. And that greater issue is why he was pardoned, not the presumed racism.

    You claimed his actions weren't indicative of racism. That he was simply stereotyping people (which btw is racist as well). I think marching Latino prisoners in a segregated area with electric fencing is pretty racist. I mean beyond just using stereotypes.

    I said he probably was racist. Meaning i don't know, but at the very least, within the context of shallow racism, he would. I don't know how racist he is. I'm saying that the motivations behind his pardoning might be more anti-immigration sentiment than it is anti-latino. I'm just the putting the idea out there.

    He's a free man. It's possible for him to be sheriff again if he runs & gets elected. He's not well liked in Phoenix though so it's unlikely. Main thing is he won't have to do any prison time for his crime.

    Remember when he talked about sending the national guard to black neighborhoods and trying to make stop and frisk legal? This is how it starts.

    I admit I did not pay attention in American history and government classes. I thought we had checks and balances. There are rumors that trump may not even leave the White House at the end of his term and/or postpone the next election. I wasn't aware any of this s--- was possible. Or is trump simply the first president to not give a f---?

    So if Trump gets impeached does this pardon still stand?
