       [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.

       Our enemies report on another of our sucesses:
  HTML https://vdare.com/articles/the-great-replacement-comes-for-boalt-hall-hastings-school-of-law-and-anglo-america
       [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:
  HTML https://chancellor.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/the_chinese_question-_a_paper_read_by_john_boalt_before_the_berkeley_club.pdf
       [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]
