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.😎

Thanks for the welcome aboard Troy. Found your website by 'accident', while surfing other articles. Your webmaster is good, whoever the person is. I am almost 70 years old, and look much like Spike Lee. Retired Baptist preacher, who lives 'down South'. Graduated from a Big Ten University about in the mid-1970s, majoring in basketball, and not attending classes. I have connections to Gethsemane Baptist in DC, as well as many Christian friends in DC, Detroit, Chicago etc. Reverend Charles Fleet was a preaching friend of mine in DC, until he passed several years ago. That Juneteenth feed from Los Angeles was on at least two different stations, and CNN could have cut it at any time. I have noticed the behind shaking antics at half-time shows at Superbowls since the year 2000. Those who find that type of behavior as acceptable, are just as culpable in God's eyesight as those who do it. The Church ain't dead, neither is Jesus. Check out Perry Maples on wlok.com Memphis 8:00 am CST Sundays, for his pulpit observations. Hartford Baptist in Detroit streams live from n their website at 7:00 am EST Sundays. You must be born again, that which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is spirit

Hey @Mel Hopkins I did not realize Kim was at Tech the same time we were? That is even cooler. Thanks for sharing @richardmurray!

The books on this great site might aid in your research but laughing at the dialog on the forum might keep you from getting it done.🤣 Otherwise, I certainly wish you all the best with the research and completing your dissertation and becoming a more successful version of yourself. 😎

Great to find news like this here. People like Attorney Ben Crump and his legal practice inspired me to study law. I also want to help people stand up for their rights and avoid injustice. Therefore, I even decided to prepare a dissertation on the constitutional rights of citizens. It must be said that studying the law is a pretty complicated matter. It's good that I came across a good site https://essays.edubirdie.com/law-dissertation-help that specializes in writing similar works. With its help, I can get quality research. Thanks to law dissertation help, I can present exciting results and conclusions that will be useful during legal practice. Maybe one day I'll be as successful as Ben Crump.

A good find for me. I like to use different online options to edit my writing.

@Pioneer1, Black men have to get on code in order to undo the gender role reversal especially among AfroAmericans. No other culture has this issue with their to the same degree. We don't see or hear any other group of women claiming or having to be the mother & father, breadwinner or boss b8tches. The root causes of dysfunction within the AfroAmerican community are very well known. We're just having a helluva time correcting it.😎

Let's parse this because I think we're dealing with two separate issues...... One is the treatment of women, the other is the treatment of homosexuals. First of all, NO ONE should be mis-treated....male or female.....gay or straight. Dealing with the treatment of females....... I think the AfroAmerican community mistreats our females in a number of ways. First of all, we force them into too many LEADERSHIP roles in which they aren't qualified to be in like being forced to be the breadwinner of the family, the father/disciplinarian, and doing things husbands should do. Also when there's an assault on the AfroAmerican community by outside of our community...too often it's the WOMEN who confront the attackers instead of the men. That right there is a form of mistreatment and abuse of the woman. As far as physical abuse, it's far too much of it for a number of reasons. Too often Black men get frustrated with Black women and can't handle them verbally or intellectually and out of frustration the only thing they can resort to is physical violence as a way of "shutting up" the sista or hurting her. Another problem too is a lot of our people both male and female are JUVENILE in their thinking. They may be over 21 but they have the mentality of 12 or 13 year olds and only know how to solve problems with physical aggression and violence. And yet another problem is a lot of AfroAmerican women are taught by society and school that it's ok for THEM to physically assault a man but a man shouldn't put his hands on them....and a lot of bruthaz don't play that and will not only hit back but seriously injure her. All of these issues must be dealt with as it relates to violence towards our sistaz. As far as violence towards homosexuals........... AfroAmericans aren't known for being especially violent towards homosexuals simply BECAUSE they are homosexual. It's just not something we do. If you are a gay man and hit on a straight man and get knocked out....lol...you weren't knocked out because you were GAY.....you were knocked out because you insulted the straight dude. If your gay ass kept on using the bathroom and minded your own business instead of trying to molest another dude in the bathroom....you wouldn't have gotten hurt. Same with trans. Trans aren't being killed simply for being trans. They have been killed by PRETENDING to be women and not telling straight dudes they are trans UNTIL they get home and into an intimate situation and then an extra dick is discovered. Should they be KILLED because of this? I say no....however I've never been in that type of situation so I don't know what's going through a man's mind who reached down into a woman's jeans only to find out she's not really a WOMAN!!! 😱 -Yikes!!! "Boy, what's wrong with you! Why you lookin' at me like daaat!"

No surprise that outside the United States, females have less power and homosexuality isn't similarly accepted. I think it's great that folks are demanding equal rights and protection. As human beings, it should be automatic. Nobody deserves to be exploited, mistreated or harmed for any reason.😎
