St. Thomas University has renamed its law school after Attorney Ben Crump: https://www.diverseeducation.com/demographics/african-american/article/15306595/st-thomas-university-law-school-named-benjamin-l-crump-college-of-law Ben Crump is the 1st practicing AfroAmerican lawyer to have a school named after him. There is only one other U.S. law school bearing the name of an AfroAmerican. That was the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.😎

So many deep points being made.....I'm gonna have to sit back and analyze this thread....lol.

Facts. That's why you have Chinese and other cultures starting to align and celebrate their New Years and other holidays along with America's and the West. The Jewish Calendar is supposed to be different but they manage to line up the Passover and Hannukah seasons up with the Western Christian seasons of Christmas and Easter every year. It they were still following their own calendar then the dates would change....like Ramadan for the Muslims.

@richardmurray, you're right in that many AfroAmericans are satisfied in having a relatively peaceful coexistence with white folks. I've never felt that a civil arrangement with white folks should be the end goal of AfroAmericans. America owes a debt to AfroAmericans for its sin of slavery. Reparations have not been paid. AfroAmericans have not unified, codified and come up with an agenda to collect reparations. That should be our 1st order of business. Unfortunately, too many AfroAmericans are satisfied with the status quo. So, we're in this holding pattern. 😎

Open Pulpit for praise

@Rodney campbell, I'm totally aware and I'm in agreement. In that regard, I don't believe I'll see that type of revolution come to pass in my lifetime. The masses have been anesthetized and neutered by that social conditioning. Most of the folks who want to go to *heaven* are afraid to die. 😎

@Pioneer1 well throughout humanity the cyclical moment called new year isn't universal in definition. The reason why Julian Calendar new year date is celebrated throughout humanity isn't because all view it as a new year, but the popularity of new year's festivities, which bring in money to be honest, is present. The christian calendar originally didn't have easter but the people's they wanted to join all had easter so they made an easter celebration and the jehovah's witness population shifts prove that being adamant against majority cultural elements is not easy and tends to lead to people leaving the minority culture.

@Pioneer1 Who installed many dictators and kept them in power was never the issue. The failure of people in various countries removing them were. But you are correct. The U.S. is at fault for the rule of many dictators, often in a misguided and foolish attempt to control the world's political narrative. Now, Russia is back to forking around in Africa.
