    I was rereading the 1619 essays today and what's really shocking is that they are very sober, grounded in mainstream scholarship and fuelled by patriotism.

        In fact, if there's valuable criticism to be made of the series, it most likely to come from a variety of left perspectives (internationalist, Black nationalist, Marxist): that it foregrounds American experiment in way that overlooks commonality of settler-colonial states.

        I think in time the opening essay, by @nhannahjones will be seen as one of the great statements of American patriotism, in the spirit of Douglass' "Oration in Memory of Abraham Lincoln"

        Why shocking? Really asking, not snarky.

        Because people are acting like it's a wild, anti-American screed.

        They are extraordinary. America makes so much more sense when you understand its real history.

        Flawed as we are, America is worth fighting for - we can’t let ignorance, fear, and greed take over.

        im looking forward to reading 20,000 word think pieces in quillette & national review on how reading 1619 essays is pushing reasonable centrists like richard spencer towards the alt-right

        It's still the New York Times. They are the voice of the mainstream, enablers of the status quo. @nhannahjones deserves significant credit for leading such a conservative institution to such a reckoning with history, even if it's 100s of years past due.
