      "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.

      may be true w/in the essays, but top-level article titles and text are communicating something different.

      Always good to read the articles! I mean, I think liberals and leftists also often over-react to newspaper headlines, when text tells a more complex story.

      these headlines establish a direction/mindset for the whole project - as they no doubt were intended to

      LOL yeah it's all a conthpiwathy to get us to hate America by not reading articles. Your argument is that Linker is an intellectual titan with much integrity because he wrote an essay criticizing... headlines, and such bravery should be seen as intellectual rigor at it's finest?

      I laud Linker for giving an honest and well-supported response.

      You would not believe the grief I've been getting for suggesting that NY Times over-reached in its conclusions, while I agree w/ need to present this history.

      How can you know if NY Times over-reached its conclusions since, as you admit, you haven't read the articles?

      I take the statements in the headlines and accompanying text at face value.

      But you can't evaluate the evidence and arguments which are presented not in the headlines but in the text. I literally don't know how to respond to someone who has strong opinions about stuff he refuses to read.

          I have strong opinions about the headlines. They put off off so much that I have no desire to read the articles. That has to be a failure of some sort by the editors, since I would normally be inclined to read such articles.

          The 1619 articles are doing very well in terms of traffic (and the print copy of the magazine is selling out at news-stands). So is it possible that your allergy to the headlines is more about you than about readers in general?

          unfortunately (for the revolution), you can't make someone read something
