    #NotAllWhitePeople-ing officially became an academic pursuit after a group of white historians wrote the New York Times to complain that the #1619Project didn't give enough props to white people. https://trib.al/b5jVCvD pic.twitter.com/C2qycpfybM

        The 1619 podcast of the economy was one of the most enlightening thing I've learned about American History.

        We already know the self-congratulatory white history! There’s a time to sit down and shut up. I can’t hear the indigenous, black, and latinx voices with all this sobbing going on.

        They want kudos for kidnapping,slavery, murder, rape, theft, and just being on average horrible to black people? 🤦🏽‍♀️ Do they realize the 1619 project is about BLACK PEOPLE?

        tl;dr: 1619 says America's entirely built on the evil of whitey and the Man, but some nerds speak-out, say only most of whites were in the Clan. But do read it: the part with Kim K and the Honda Civic bumper sticker was pretty good and right-on.
