      my takeaway from this little controversy is that guys like this have no real awareness of either the historical work on display in the package (his scoffing at Kruse’s work on segregation in Atlanta is something) or of black political thought, periodhttps://theweek.com/articles/859776/new-york-times-surrenders-left-race …

      "guys like this" - in this case (@DamonLinker) a white guy sympathetic to the cause of the 1619 Project, yet not wishing to paint whole nation as intrinsically evil in its origins and founding.

      I honestly don't know how anyone can read those essays and conclude they portray the USA as "intrinsically evil in its origins and founding" rather than being about how the nation was redeemed to fulfil promises & ideals that were originally unfulfilled.

      I honestly blame John Locke for this (the inability of anglophones to think dialectally).

          Anyone who could claim he was mixing his labour with a field by making his servant delve it wasn't thinking dialectically, for sure.
