Yes, the replacement of these two Jewish lawyers by Crump and Al Sharpton is pretty obvious. I think its all about the money either way, G. Kinda like why would a White or Jewish lawyer make money off of Black problems when you have a bunch of Black lawyers too. White ppl would do the same if the roles were reversed. Btw, you don't see Black lawyers involved in White cases. Maybe very, very rarely.

Anyway, this really reminds me of Don King who often influenced the replacement of established White trainers/coaches and managers to consolidate his absolute financial and psychological control over fighters, frequently using appeals to racial solidarity as a manipulation tactic. And the reality on the ground was that in the 60s it was mostly White trainers who made mad money off of the back of Black fighters. The same goes for NBA, NFL, etc..

Its like saying I'd rather see Rwanda exploiting Congo's natural ressources than seeing Belgium or Canada exploiting Congo's minerals.

Additionally I agree that other local Black lawyers should represent these families instead of always having Crump and Al Sharpton flying all the way from other states. Like you said this must be an arranged deal, definitely negotiated ahead of time between Crump/Al Sharpton and the local activists or something!!
