Asheville, N.C. Reparations. No USS Brooke for Navy, About Those Black Schools

JULY 19, 2020

**  (Seriously, I heard that Asheville, N.C., has agreed to pay reparations to Blacks for slavery.  I'd recommend $5,000,000 to every black person, guys and gals. That'd about cover their pain and agony.)

**  Navy says 'absolutely' no chance new warship will be named after  former Confederate Navy  officer.  (USS Brooke and a new class of frigates.  However, there was already a USS Brooke named for that officer which operated from 1966 to 1988.  It was the lead ship of the class.  John Mercer Brook was a U.S. Navy officer who joined the Confederacy.)

**  Confederate names  don't belong on Montgomery's Black schools, social justice group says.  (Alabama.  I agree with them.  If the majority of a school's students are Blacks, the name should come off immediately.  However, the cost of name change should be borne by those who want it changed.  No public money should be spent.

I also noticed it was Black schools in the headline.  Is this a new way Blacks want to be referred to?  I always thought that Black, when used as an adjective, was not capitalized.  You know, black people, white people.)
