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.
--- End 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.

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]

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

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.

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.”
> ...

of what my country has done to your country,” which made most
Americans ashamed of Jimmy Carter.

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

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

"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
