Pres Trump gearing up to attack 1619 in his speech today. He is expected to say, “Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and the crusade against American history is toxic propaganda—an ideological poison that, if not removed, will dissolve the civic bonds that tie us together.”
An important note that as President Trump gears up to attack the 1619 project, @nhannahjones is a national treasure who put in context how America came to be, the black enslaved people it exploited and the way forward. We should all be grateful for the 1619 Project.
Yes, indeed, we should all be grateful.
I never expected the 1619 project to be a lynchpin in the president's racist propaganda to discredit anything that isn't white and european. But here we are.
Yamiche this isn’t journalism, this is editorializing - there have been numerous, credible criticisms of the accuracy of the 1619 project, and @nhannahjones has responded extremely defensively, attacking her critics each time.
There are arguments to be made but the fact that 1619 was the beginning of the greatest atrocities ever committed to anybody is indisputable
He just doesn't get (or doesn't want to get) that we need NEW civic bonds to tie us together because the old ones left so many people out and did so much harm.
Seems this project is quite controversial — historians have requested error corrections which the times refused (this doesn’t even include the economic section)https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/20/magazine/we-respond-to-the-historians-who-critiqued-the-1619-project.html?referringSource=articleShare …
