      Seems like NHJ and the Times could have chosen not to die on a couple of these hills and the 1619 Project's critics would have had way less fodder. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/1619-project-took-over-2020-inside-story/2020/10/13/af537092-00df-11eb-897d-3a6201d6643f_story.html …

      The more rational point of view is the fact that 1619 critics have decided to focus on such tiny hills and ignore the vast majority of the essays and arguments is proof the critics aren't acting in good faith.

          Or broad claims deserve a broad airing, not a stealth edit.

          It was a single sentence in a much longer essay, and basically the sole “factual” objection that critics had, and it was revised. Absolutely too small potatoes to support right wing claims that the project “lies” or has been “debunked.”

          Yes, the many historians- black and white-critical of it are acting in bad faith. I know that's comforting to you.

          There is an obvious, categorical difference between the criticisms academic historians have raised and the way right wing pundits discuss the 1619 project. The way you’ve blithely conflated them is evidence of bad faith.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @jbarro

          No, the more rational point of view is that the 1619 authors' choice to die on these hills is proof that *they* weren't acting in good faith. The hills were the whole point--they wanted to coerce acceptance of their prioritizing political dogma ahead of historical integrity.

          Which of its fundamental assertions have been refuted? That black history is central to American history? That 1619 represented a watershed moment in the history of British America? That slavery had lasting consequences visible today? What are you talking about?
