This 3 hour episode aired last night on ABC. I watched the first half of this last night and was very impressed, from the archive footage, to the overturning of the Voting Rights law by a conservative Supreme Court, to gerrymandering, to the fight for civil rights, this is not a finger pointing, accusatory series, but instead is a measured, fact based review of the struggle black Americans have faced since their arrival in this country. I'm looking forward to the watching the 2nd half of this and highly recommend it.

I believe if you have Hulu then there is a much more in depth, 6 hour version available.

 
EXCERPT:
The 1619 Project is a long-form journalism endeavor developed by Nikole Hannah-Jones, writers from The New York Times, and The New York Times Magazine focused on subjects of slavery and the founding of the United States.[1] The first publication from the project was in The New York Times Magazine of August 2019.[2] The project developed an educational curriculum, supported by the Pulitzer Center, later accompanied by a broadsheet article, live events, and a podcast.[3] Historians, journalists, and commentators have described the 1619 Project as a revisionist historiographical work that takes a critical view of traditionally reverenced events and people in American history, including the Patriots in the American Revolution, the Founding Fathers, along with later figures such as Abraham Lincoln and the Union during the Civil War.[4][5][6][7] On May 4, 2020, the Pulitzer Prize board announced that they were awarding the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary to Hannah-Jones for her introductory essay.[8][9]

The 1619 Project has received criticism from numerous historians, both from the political left and right, who question its historical accuracy.[6][10] In a letter published in The New York Times in December 2019, historians Gordon S. Wood, James M. McPherson, Sean Wilentz, Victoria E. Bynum, and James Oakes expressed "strong reservations" about the project and requested factual corrections, accusing the project's creators of prioritizing ideology over historical accuracy. The scholars denied the project's claim that slavery was essential to the beginning of the American Revolution. In response, Jake Silverstein, the editor of The New York Times Magazine, defended The 1619 Project and refused to issue corrections.[11]

In March 2020, in light of persistent criticism of the project's portrayal of the role of slavery, The Times issued a "clarification", modifying one of the passages on slavery's role that had sparked controversy.[12][13] In September 2020, controversy arose over when the Times updated the opening text of the project website to remove the phrase "...understanding 1619 as our true founding..." without accompanying editorial notes. Critics, including Bret Stephens of the Times, claimed the differences showed that the newspaper was backing away from some of the initiative's controversial claims.[14] The Times defended its practices, with Hannah-Jones claiming that most of the project's content had remained unchanged.[15][16][17]

Do you think little honky children should be made to feel guilty for and responsible for the suffering of blacks?

That's the purpose of this documentary you know.

Although my own conscience is clear. Poland, under Casimir the Great, freed the black people in 1347 you know.

So 40 Million Black people are owed $350,000 per person in reparations even though not a single one was ever enslaved? Is that measured and fact based? That's when I turned it off.

I never saw anything in the first half about reparations. I will be interested to see how that case is being made in the 2nd half.

Do you think knowing the actual factual history of the US is harmful to children?

No.
But actually knowing our history might help children understand the source of the ugliness, hate, and lies people like you bring to the table.

Absolutely not.

The point is when they use that history to elevate one group over another and to blame people for things they aren't responsible for.

Its a fact, example given, that the British burned America's White House. But that doesn't mean that little English children should be made to feel guilty over it.

We've been doing that for over 200 years.
Maybe it's time for the truth.
 
NHJ sat down with two professors from Harvard, who outlined their 4 major threats to democracy. See if this reminds you of anyone:

1) A politician will not accept election results, or will challenge a democratic constitution.

2) If they condone or threaten violence in their rhetoric.

3) Do they threaten civil liberties or the press?

4) Do they challenge the legitimacy of their political opponents?

Russian Collusion = kangaroo court phony investigation of five+ years
"Basket of Deplorables"
"Fundamentally change America"
Closest friend a former domestic terrorist (Bill Ayers) - Bill Ayers - Wikipedia
Etc.
All recent and from Left of Center politically.
 
Black people benefitted from slavery
Black people deserved to be slaves
The bible justified holding Black people in slavery
Black people loved being slaves...

Care to discuss the genocide of the Native peoples?
I have never posted nor said any of those things. When you casually accuse people of being a liar without any factual basis, you demean yourself.
 
1619 project is communist agitprop.

OP is a commie faggot.

Here's how the originator of the 1619 project rolls:

"
She replied that she thought Cuba to be among the most 'equal' and 'multiracial' country in the western hemisphere due to its socialist society. "




She ain't no Celia Cruz. Celia Cruz overcame a lot of hurdles. Her song is the song of Cuba.



Justin Trudeau is the son of Fidel Castro.

History of slavery, import of black Africans (often captured and sold by Islamic Arabs, or fellow other black tribes) to the 'New World' was started by the Spanish and Portuguese for their colonies and long before 1619. It was later done by Dutch, French and English.

There is a track record going back centuries before the USA fought it's War of Independence, and the thirteen colonies were not the only ones involved in such.

In the USA Constitution, Article I, Section 9, starts with a prohibition of import of persons('slaves') to go into effect in 1808. This was a compromise first step and limited in dealing with slavery in order to retain the Southern States in the new nation/Union.
