Yeah, I read your first link and it didn’t really answer my question. It said that there are differences of opinion about some of the claims, like stating that the nation was founded on slavery and not on freedom, but I’m not sure how you can really say the claim is false, and no one does really... they just complain…

From The Atlantic’s piece: “The most radical thread in the 1619 Project is not its contention that slavery’s legacy continues to shape American institutions; it’s the authors’ pessimism that a majority of white people will abandon racism and work with black Americans toward a more perfect union.”
This is the thing…
“America’s founding set in motion the unstoppable chain of events that abolished slavery”
So I’ve heard, probably a dozen times now, something similar to your “Well, there are lots of problems with it” statement... yet I’ve not seen anyone point to where the mistruths or lies are. They certainly apply their interpretations to things, just as all history books have done because they are recollections not…
“White Studies” is literally what the 1619 project is about... the actual history of white America.
An “unstoppable chain of events” that nevertheless took nearly a hundred years (or more, technically, if you don’t count just from the ‘official founding’ and go by the colonies) and included an incredibly bloody civil war, and still has systemic effects today (that Trump is also happy to downplay if not outright…
The purpose of all of this bullshit is not just election influence. He’s trying to rally as many wypipo as possible around his Great Patriotic Torch (shaped like a cross, no doubt) in preparation for his coming days in court as a civilian. He’s facing a mountain of charges for tax dodging, illegal campaign spending,…
““I will soon sign an executive order establishing a national commission to promote patriotic education. It will be called the ‘1776 Commission’,”
You mean unlike the last 400 years of “education” consisting of cliches, propaganda and racist rhetoric?
Well his political idol had a “patriotic youth” organization, so he probably figures he oughta too.
Making a commission for a job that’s already been accomplished since 1776, we already know most American texts has been doubly formatted for white narratives and audiences. I just want to know who the scam artist making money from this is.
That’s basically why they voted for trump into office, if you’re dumb enough to…
America was founded on a CRIME, the crime of THEFT
America’s founding set in motion the unstoppable chain of events that abolished slavery,
to bully Americans into abandoning their values, their heritage, and their very way of life
Just to be clear, this is a government sponsored initiative to teach children that America was, is, and always shall be right. It’s brainwashing propaganda of Orwellian levels and a massive step towards totalitarian government. This is not a cute little nugget about our dumb, racist leadership. It’s a massive,…
You wrote: “I get that you don’t like this person, but why the misgendering?” I get that you don’t like Zack, but why assign malice when simple thoughtlessness would apply? This could be fixed by simply saying “Hey, you used the wrong pronouns in a couple of places...”
I know this is about how flat out evil and corrupt Trump & Co. are, but I see it more as how incredibly weak democrats have been. Trump gets in office and all of a sudden, so many things are on the table, legally. It’s like Trump got in there and said, “so, what am I allowed to do and if I’m not allowed to do it, let…
The death of Benito Mussolini, the deposed Italian fascist dictator, occurred on 28 April 1945, in the final days of World War II in Europe, when he was summarily executed by an Italian partisan in the small village of Giulino di Mezzegra in northern Italy. His body was taken to Milan and left in a suburban square,…
And my friend wonders why I refuse to go anywhere near that state. WTF is wrong with these boiled lobster looking ass motherfuckers?
