    Jeet Heer Retweeted Judd Legum

    This remark is worth pondering since it speaks to the motives behind much of the demento over reaction to 1619: the fear of any narrative where white people won't be at the heroes of historyhttps://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1399096583732580354 …

        It's purely the idea that white people, as a class, are exonerated for both what they did and what they are currently doing, because of the actions of a few white people a long time ago.

        What IS it with some white people who think we need to share in the credit for ending slavery or Jim Crow at every turn? Or else black people aren't showing us the proper respect? Because that's what's demanded here: Yes'r, ya help'd sir—or no job for you! Insulting & racist AF

        This is why we learn about the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement but rarely ever learn about what was going on between those two points in history
