[quote]SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A prominent law school in San
Francisco named for a 19th century rancher who sponsored deadly
atrocities against Native Americans has a new name after
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation approving the
change.
...
The University of California’s Hastings College of the Law will
be known as the College of the Law, San Francisco.
...
The school was founded in 1878 by Serranus Clinton Hastings, a
wealthy rancher and former chief justice of the California
Supreme Court who helped orchestrate and finance campaigns by
white settlers in Mendocino County to kill and enslave members
of the Yuki Indian tribe.
The legislation also lays out restorative justice initiatives to
be pursued by the college, such as renaming a law library with a
Native language name, according to a statement from the
governor’s office.
Newsom also signed legislation to remove an offensive term for a
Native American woman from all geographic features and place
names in the state. The U.S. government has removed the
offensive term from nearly 650 geographic features, renaming
hundreds of peaks, lakes, streams and other geographical
features on federal lands.[/quote]

[quote]The US Department of Defense has announced it will rename
the nine US military bases that bear named of officers of the
Confederacy.
...
The nine Army bases that will soon bear new names are Fort
Benning and Fort Gordon in Georgia; Fort Bragg, North Carolina;
Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Rucker, Alabama; Fort Polk, Louisiana;
and Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Pickett, and Fort Lee in Virginia.
...
Former President Donald Trump previously took a strong stance
against the idea of renaming Confederate bases, going so far as
to threaten to veto the Defense Spending bill in order to
prevent the move from happening.
In 2020, he pushed Congressional Republicans to refrain from
voting for an amendment introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren
(D-Mass.) to strip the bases of their Confederate
monikers.[/quote]

[quote]Congress directed the Pentagon to abolish all remaining
vestiges of the military’s Confederate heritage, and rebrand its
nine bases that continue to honor enslavers and secessionists
such as Fort Gordon’s namesake.
...
In the end, however, the commission chose to go in another
direction entirely and rename the base after Eisenhower —
bypassing the five Black candidates and other groundbreaking
people of color.
That idea gained traction only after last-minute lobbying from
some of the meeting’s attendees, according to people familiar
with the gathering. Jim Clifford, city administrator for
neighboring North Augusta, recalled someone suggesting
Eisenhower would be a more desirable alternative and then
“pretty much everyone else piled onto that.”
The unexpected outcome has both perplexed and rankled others who
believe the selection of a prestigious White man is at best a
missed opportunity, and at worst a failure of the renaming
commission’s goal to not merely kill off the military’s racist
relics but to elevate minorities in the process. Detractors say
it looks like a bid to capitalize on Eisenhower’s association
with Augusta National, a longtime symbol of racial division that
did not admit its first Black member until 1990, nearly six
decades after the golf course opened.[/quote]
Eisenhower was also a Confederacy sympathizer, as we noted here:

But even if he wasn't, Operation Wetback alone should forever
disqualify him from being celebrated:
HTML https://www.ontheissues.org/celeb/Dwight_Eisenhower_Immigration.htm
[quote]In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower launched Operation
Wetback, a shameful initiative to remove (often violently)
thousands of undocumented workers--mostly Mexican nationals. In
what has been described as a "quasi-military operation", border
patrol agents, along with state and local law enforcement
methodically targeted Mexican-Americans. The result was
widespread fear and abuse.
It is estimated that 4,800 people were apprehended on the first
day of the military operation. In the end, the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) claimed as many as 1,300,000 were
deported--many on their own out of fear. There were reports of
beatings. Hundreds of families were torn apart.[/quote]

[quote]Two days after a tightly contested election in the fall
of 1898, a white supremacist mob descended on Wilmington, North
Carolina — a Southern oasis of Black prosperity during the
Reconstruction era — to take back the city from “Negro rule.”
The rioters razed long-standing Black businesses, burned down
the city’s only Black newspaper, and overthrew a mixed-race,
democratically elected city council in what is considered the
only successful coup in American history.
More than a century after scores of Black residents were killed
in the insurrection, Wilmington named an elementary school after
one of its ringleaders: Walter L. Parsley.
No one protested when school board members approved Parsley’s
name in 1999, and the tribute survived for 21 years. But by
summer 2020, local activists had connected the name to one of
the coup’s leaders, stirring fury and a petition drive to change
it.
...
What happened in Wilmington in 1898?
In the nights leading up the 1898 statewide elections, Parsley
and eight other co-conspirators planned the government takeover
at his Market Street home, according to a 1936 pamphlet by local
journalist Harry Hayden.
As reporters at the local Black newspaper — the Daily Record —
began writing up election results on Nov. 10, 1898, exactly 124
years ago, about 500 white businessmen and Civil War veterans,
armed with rifles and racial animosity, barged into the paper’s
headquarters and set the building ablaze. The insurrection then
swelled to 2,000-strong across town, as the attackers spread
now-debunked rumors that Black journalists had fired first.
But the coup wasn’t discussed much otherwise or a regular part
of history lessons. On purpose.
...
So as Confederate monuments fell like dominoes nationwide, all
remained quiet in Wilmington, until a petition in June 2020 to
rename the school drew more than 2,500 signatures.
That was the trigger. The following month, an unknown
perpetrator vandalized a sign at the entrance to then-Parsley
school. In bold red spray paint, the message read: “Rem[em]ber
1898, change the name” on one side, and “BLM” on the other, with
a giant “X” through Parsley’s name.
Local civil rights organizations began to rally around name
changes — both for the Parsley school and for Hugh MacRae Park,
which was named for another architect of the massacre.
“For a young black child to go to a school that was named after
someone who imposed a massacre killing black people, that has a
psychological effect,” Sonya Patrick-AmenRa, an organizer for
Wilmington’s Black Lives Matter chapter, told Port City
Daily.[/quote]
Thank you BLM!
[quote]But for all of the fervor around name changes in
Wilmington, racial tension still pervades the city and the
school system. Black residents say they still feel the sting of
1898, which significantly reduced the city’s Black population
and wiped out the thriving business class.
New Hanover County Schools remain among the most segregated
school districts in the country. What used to be Parsley
Elementary is more than 80% white and stands down the street
from a row of multi-million dollar houses, while schools only a
few miles away educate mostly minority students from
lower-income families.
For Maxwell, the NAACP chapter president, the name changes are a
step in the right direction, but merely one step toward true
racial justice.[/quote]

[quote]Sir Francis Drake Primary School will be renamed in light
of the seaman’s “slave trade links”.
The famed navigator became an English national hero for helping
to defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588, but his legacy was
reassessed following Black Lives Matter protests, and his
connections to slavery have made him a contentious figure.
The Sir Francis Drake school in south London will be renamed
“Twin Oaks Primary”, its headteacher has announced, informing
parents: “The slave trade links associated with the current
name sat at odds with the values of our school.”
...
Drake was knighted by Elizabeth I in 1581 having inflicted a
series of naval defeats on the Spanish in the Americas and
circumnavigated the globe, but before these exploits he took
part in voyages with his cousin Sir John Hawkins which saw the
capture of black African slaves.[/quote]
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Drake#Slave_trade
[quote]Between 1560 and 1568 Drake served as a seaman on a
series of voyages on the ships of his second cousin, Sir John
Hawkins, with whom he had been brought up.[22][19] On these
voyages Hawkins is widely acknowledged to have begun the English
slave trade. The West African slave trade was at this time a
Portuguese and Spanish monopoly, but John Hawkins devised a plan
to break into that trade, and in 1562, enlisted the aid of
colleagues and family to finance his first slave voyage.[23]
Drake, 12 years junior to Hawkins, was part of the crew and is
mentioned by name in the records.[19][better source needed] They
carried slaves, cloth, manufactured goods and contraband.[24]
For his second slave voyage Hawkins gained Queen Elizabeth I's
support, she allowed him to charter one of her ships, Jesus of
Lübeck, and the rest of his needed capital came from a
consortium of investors from her court.[25] Drake was twenty
(circa 1563–1564),[20][26] and not a member of that consortium
but the crew would have received a share in the profits.[27][28]
Based on this association, scholar Kris Lane lists Drake as one
of the first English slave traders.[29]
The Spanish and Portuguese were aggrieved that the English had
entered into the slave trade and were selling slaves to their
colonies, despite being forbidden from doing so. Queen Elizabeth
I, under pressure to avoid an armed conflict, forbade Hawkins
from going to sea for a third slave voyage. In response he set
up a new slave voyage with a relative of his, John Lovell, in
command.[25] Drake accompanied Lovell on this voyage.[25] In
1566–1567, Lovell attacked Portuguese settlements and slave
ships on the coast of West Africa and then sailed to the
Americas and sold the captured cargoes of enslaved Africans onto
Spanish plantations.[30] The voyage was unsuccessful and more
than 90 enslaved Africans were released without payment.[31][32]
Drake accompanied Hawkins on his next slave voyage. The crew
attempted to capture and kidnap the inhabitants of a village
near Cape Verde, but had to retreat. Hawkins recruited a local
king in Sierra Leone to help him forcibly kidnap people,
capturing and enslaving over 500 people before setting sail for
the Spanish West Indies.[33]
...
In the Magellan Strait Francis and his men engaged in skirmish
with local indigenous people, becoming the first Europeans to
kill indigenous peoples in southern Patagonia.[56]
...
Drake became a member of parliament again in 1584 for
Bossiney[13] on the forming of the 5th Parliament of Elizabeth
I.[93] He served the duration of the parliament and was active
in issues regarding the navy, fishing, early American
colonisation, and issues related chiefly to Devon.[/quote]
Other successes in removing his name:
[quote]Several landmarks in northern California were named after
Drake, beginning in the late 19th century and continuing into
the 20th century. American historian Richard White has claimed
that these commemorations have origins in Anglo-Saxonism,[115] a
racist ideology that was variously used to justify manifest
destiny, imperialism, slavery, nativism, and the genocide of
indigenous peoples.[116] Public scrutiny of these memorials
intensified after the murder of George Floyd, when protests
against police brutality and racism drew critical attention to
place names and monuments connected to white supremacy. Several
California landmarks that commemorated Drake were removed or
renamed. Citing Drake's associations with the transatlantic
slave trade, colonialism and piracy,[117][118] Sir Francis Drake
High School, in San Anselmo, California, changed its name to
Archie Williams High School, after former teacher and Olympic
athlete Archie Williams. A statue of Drake in Larkspur,
California was also removed by the city authorities.[119][120]
Multiple jurisdictions in Marin County considered renaming Sir
Francis Drake Boulevard, one of its major thoroughfares, but
left the name intact when they failed to reach a consensus.[121]
In San Francisco, the Sir Francis Drake Hotel was renamed the
Beacon Grand Hotel.[122][/quote]

...
Matthew Fontaine Maury has been called the ”Pathfinder of the
Seas,” ”Father of Modern Oceanography and Naval Meteorology” and
”Scientist of the Seas.” According to Wikipedia, ”[Maury]
published the Wind and Current Chart of the North Atlantic,
which showed sailors how to use the ocean’s currents and winds
to their advantage, drastically reducing the length of ocean
voyages. Maury’s uniform system of recording oceanographic data
was adopted by navies and merchant marines around the world and
was used to develop charts for all the major trade routes.”
So Maury is very important in the history of navigation, which
ought to be important to the U.S. Navy.
But the Pathfinder of the Seas wasn't woke enough for today's
Navy.
It doesn’t matter what Maury accomplished and how it benefited
the world, because he served as an envoy of the Confederacy
during the Civil War.[/quote]
Yes. Carter, in contrast:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carter
[quote]The civil rights movement was well underway when Carter
took office. He and his family had become staunch John F.
Kennedy supporters. Carter remained relatively quiet on the
issue at first, even as it polarized much of the county, to
avoid alienating his segregationist colleagues.
...
Carter was sworn in as the 76th governor of Georgia on January
12, 1971. In his inaugural speech, he declared that "the time of
racial discrimination is over",[65] shocking the crowd and
causing many of the segregationists who had supported Carter
during the race to feel betrayed.
...
Civil rights were a high priority for Carter, who added black
state employees and portraits of three prominent black
Georgians[which?] to the capitol building, angering the Ku Klux
Klan.[77]
...
Carter sought closer relations with the People's Republic of
China (PRC), continuing the Nixon administration's drastic
policy of rapprochement. The two countries increasingly
collaborated against the Soviet Union, and the Carter
administration tacitly consented to the Chinese invasion of
Vietnam. In 1979, Carter extended formal diplomatic recognition
to the PRC for the first time. This decision led to a boom in
trade between the United States and the PRC, which was pursuing
economic reforms under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping.[205]
After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Carter allowed the
sale of military supplies to China and began negotiations to
share military intelligence.[206] In January 1980, Carter
unilaterally revoked the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty
with the Republic of China (ROC), which had lost control of
mainland China to the PRC in 1949, but retained control the
island of Taiwan.
...
During a news conference on March 9, 1977, Carter reaffirmed his
interest in having a gradual withdrawal of American troops from
South Korea
...
the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was considered a threat to
global security and the oil supplies of the Persian Gulf, as
well as the existence of Pakistan.[237][239] These concerns led
to Carter expanding collaboration between the CIA and Pakistan's
Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), which began several months
earlier when the CIA started providing some $695,000 worth of
non-lethal assistance (e.g., "cash, medical equipment, and radio
transmitters") to the Afghan mujahideen in July 1979.[240]
...
on December 28, Carter signed a presidential finding explicitly
allowing the CIA to transfer "lethal military equipment either
directly or through third countries to the Afghan opponents of
the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan," and to arrange
"selective training, conducted outside of Afghanistan, in the
use of such equipment either directly or via third country
intermediation."[240]
...
Carter has expressed no regrets over his decision to support
what he still considers the "freedom fighters" in
Afghanistan.[239]
...
Carter was the first president to make a state visit to
Sub-Saharan Africa when he went to Nigeria in 1978.[198]
...
Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, a New York Times Best
Seller book, published in 2006, generated controversy for his
characterization of Israel's policies in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip to be amounting to apartheid. In an interview, he
described apartheid to be the "forced separation of two peoples
in the same territory with one of the groups dominating or
controlling the other."[397] In remarks broadcast over radio,
Carter claimed that Israel's policies amounted to an apartheid
worse than South Africa's:[398]
"When Israel does occupy this territory deep within the West
Bank, and connects the 200-or-so settlements with each other,
with a road, and then prohibits the Palestinians from using that
road, or in many cases even crossing the road, this perpetrates
even worse instances of apartness, or apartheid, than we
witnessed even in South Africa."[398][/quote]
Here is a rabbi on Carter:
HTML https://observer.com/2014/08/the-moral-disintegration-of-jimmy-carter/
[quote]Mr. Carter always subscribed to what my friend Michael
Scroccaro calls ‘Underdogma,’ a knew-jerk reaction to champion
the cause of the underdog however immoral the party. Poverty
dictates virtue and weakness dictates righteousness. So, if the
Israelis have jets and the Palestinians only rockets then that
must necessarily mean that the Israelis are the aggressor.
Mr. Carter’s underdog obsession is what motivated him to
legitimize Fidel Castro and take his side in a bio-weapons
dispute with the United States and to praise North Korean
dictator Kim Il Sung with the words: “I find him to be vigorous,
intelligent,…and in charge of the decisions about this country.”
...
Carter told Haitian dictator Raul Cédras that he was “ashamed of
what my country has done to your country,” which made most
Americans ashamed of Jimmy Carter.
...
Carter’s nonstop criticism of Israel and his emergence – in the
words of Alan Dershowitz – as a “cheerleader” for Hamas has
confirmed in the minds of many that Carter has more than a bit
of a problem with the Jewish state.
Mr. Carter said in 2006 that Israel’s policies in the West Bank
were actually worse than apartheid South Africa. He followed
this disgusting libel with his infamous 2009 book “The Israel
Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy,” in which he claimed that due to
“powerful political, economic, and religious forces in the U.S.,
Israeli government decisions are rarely questioned or condemned,
voices from Jerusalem dominate our media.” We’re skirting
awfully close to a protocols-of-Zion style argument here, that
the Jews control the media and American foreign policy.
Here’s a priceless clip of Jimmy Carter on the Today Show.
Do you believe Hamas can be trusted?
Yes, I do.
Perhaps the clincher is Mr. Carter’s pronouncement that “the key
factor that prevents peace is the continuing building of Israeli
settlements in Palestine, driven by a determined minority of
Israelis who desire to occupy and colonize east Jerusalem and
the West Bank.” According to Carter, Palestinian terrorism,
Iranian nukes, tyrannical Arab governments, and murderous
Islamist religious militancy are not the causes for Middle East
conflict. No, it’s the Jews.[/quote]
The rabbi's words are the best testimony for Carter deserving
American naval buildings named after him.

[quote]Boalt Hall is no more! They pulled the signage off the
school three years ago, and now the school goes by the
nondescript moniker of "UC Berkeley School of Law," or some
variant thereof.
The reason for the name change is that the school now has a lot
of "Asian" students, and old Mr. John Henry Boalt is partly
blamed for the anti-Chinese immigration campaign back in the
1870s. Boalt once had the audacity to deliver a speech called
"The Chinese Question" [PDF] a long-forgotten essay that he read
out before the Berkeley Club in 1877. It was later read on the
floor of the U.S. Senate, and is said to have contributed to
passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act a few years later
(1882).[/quote]
The speech:

[quote]The Chinaman differs from us in color, in features, and
in size. His contact excites in us, or at least in most of us,
an uncon-
querable repulsion which it seeems to me must ever prevent any
intimate association or miscegenation of the races. To this must
be
added that the difference in physical peculiarities makes the
more
conspicuous the many and radical divergencies which. otherwise
exist. Second, the two races are also separated by a remarkable
divergence in intellectual character and disposition. Our habits
of
thought are so entirely different that it seems impossible that
they
should ever become reconciled.
...
He is generally
honest, it is true, but the most prominent Chinese merchant in
San
Francisco admitted that his race was honest simply because it
was
the best policy, and for no other reason. Now a man who is
honest
from the mere force of logic, simply because honesty is
generally the
best policy, must inevitably be dishonest in the exceptional
case
when dishonesty is the best policy.[/quote]
Not only should Boalt Hall be renamed, but John Boalt should be
renamed Karen Boalt.
Next, the argument that Chinese are inferior because they are
less wasteful (yes, really):
[quote]The Chinaman in
America cannot comprehend that there is plenty of space. He has
formed a habit of making himself compact and economizing his
room. A hundred Chiniamen are quite content in a house not big
enough for ten of our own race. Their type of a sleeping chamber
is a sardine box.
...
It is no argument to tell the American laborer that
if he would live as the Chinaman lives he might subsist on the
Chinaman's wages.
It has taken the Chinaman centuries to learn to live on so
little.
With the lapse of time his necessities have gradually
accommodated
themselves to his small earnings, until now very little suffices
to pro-
cure him abundance. He has made a prodigious stride toward the
ideal ration of a straw per day. Early education and constant
habit
have so led him to practice the closest economy, that economy
has
itself become a habit and no longer involves self-denial.
...
we have taught each other habits that are expensive.
We have led each other to believe that it is a good thing to
promote
schools and educate children, to contribute to churches and give
to
hospitals, to eat clean food and wear clean clothes. We have
encour-
aged each other to think that overcrowding leads to immorality,
that
plenty of air and sunlight are necessaries of life
...
Until it is changed, the Chinaman will always beat us in
a competition where the frugal habits he learned in China are
pitted
against the habits we learned in America. Under the
circumstances
it is no more surprising that a Chinaman can live cheaper than
an
American than it is that a horse can.[/quote]
Can you guess whom else Boalt dislikes?
[quote]It did so happen that until the Chinese invasion, the
class of immi-
grants who came to our shores were, with one exception, welcome
visitors. They were of races and nationalities with which we
were
in perfect concord and with whom we could readily assimilate. We
needed them; they came, and twenty-five years after they came,
almost all evidence of their foreign birth had disappeared. They
had become thoroughly assimilated to us, and amalgamated with
us,
and were as much Americanized as if born on the soil.
But there was one exception. That exception was the African
Negro. His coming was bitterly regretted by every one of our
early
statesmen who ever spoke of it. If you doubt this, examine the
list of members of the African Colonization Society. The pages
shine with eminent names. But the negro did come, and we just
barely survived his coming. Is it worth while to repeat the
mistake?[/quote]

Islam leader Elijah Muhammad who taught that 'the white man is
the devil' - as council member claims 'it's important not to

"They profess to be a friend and defenders of all peace-loving
and freedom-loving people. The only people we really see that
they want to be friends of are themselves and their kind. They
are really sincere when they say that they are freedom-loving
people. Above all, the White man the world over wants to be free
to rule and dominate the aboriginal people." - Elijah Muhammad
