It doesn't allege it was the first instance of slavery -- it CORRECTLY STATES that this country was founded on slavery by pointing out the fact that America's so-called first settlers practiced slavery and that institution continued for 200 plus more years.....1619 was not even CLOSE to the first slavery in North America. Likely not by 10,000 years.Actually, it's a mf'ing fact that a small part of what would come to be known as the US was a part of what would come to be known as the British empire in 1619. Spain claimed more, and France and Holland also owned a piece.It is a MOTHERFUCKING FACT that in 1619, the area currently called "The United States of America" was NOT. Rather, it was part of the British Empire.but it was.........
so yea, you are definitely trying to cancel historical facts.......
All the 1619 project does is state the basic fact that this nation didn't just magically begin in 1776 out of thin air....
It is also a MOTHERFUCKING FACT that 157 years later, this country was formed when the British Colonies in America SECEDED from the British Empire.
It is also a MOTHEFUCKING FACT that slavery in the United States of America ended 157 year ago --- CONVENIENTLY SYMETRICAL don't you think?
Say it with me, Biff --
In 1619, "America" was part of the British Empire. The fucking Brits started all that shit. 157 years later, the colonies seceded from the British Empire. 157 years later, I, Biff, got on USMB claiming that this country was founded 157 years before it was.
Get it?
The history of our culture, on this continent, predates the formation of the United States.
Slavery was introduced by the Spanish, first the Indians, then African slaves.
Somehow, this gets downplayed in the current narrative. New Orleans had slavery long before it was in the US.
The 1619 project is an attempt to undo the 'whitewashing' of US history.
In that spirit I support it.
The 1619 project is an attempt to re-write history in the image of the communist manifesto.
In that spirit, I will go down in a blaze of glory to destroy it on my way to Valhalla.
The reason you morons have to constantly lie about something is because the truth isn't on your side
