Working on another deadline, but will write something about this by the weekend, hopefullyhttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1004144583360557056 …
Sigh. Have you read Jamelle's article? I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that it is saying 1600s were great.

Sorry! Didn't mean to suggest that. I was simply responding to the comment about the 1800s and pointing out that Jamelle's analysis locates the era before the invention of modern racism in the 1600s, not the 1800s.

I don't think anyone is saying things were great, no. But I do think that some of these arguments rather ironically tend to minimize pre-Enlightenment racism.
