      I can’t imagine a version of America so rickety that a magazine package detailing the history of one of the institutions most critical to both its founding and its remaking would be detrimental.

      Are we doing that thing again where each individual action by progressives in politics, media, academia & entertainment is considered in isolation from all the others?

      I’m doing the thing where I say that talking about the impact of slavery on American life is no more divisive than “the impact of slavery on American life” and talking about the history of slavery is a positive good.

      I think it's fundamentally dishonest to frame criticism of the series as if it is not a reaction to larger ideological projects & how it is framed in service of those. Of course, history is good (when told honestly); of course, the history of slavery is worth retelling.

      I believe you’re referring to the NYT downhill, correct?

      Have you read the pieces featured in the package?

      Some, so far; I have other historical reading to do. But naturally, the public debate here is being largely driven by how the NYT's own publicity frames what it is trying to accomplish, how politicians are framing that, & how it meshes with the broader ideological project.

      And what’s the broader ideological project, in your view?

      Where to begin? To argue a fruit-of-the-poisonous tree critique against the Constitution (Senate, Electoral College, 1st & 2d Amendment, existence of states, etc), American free enterprise. etc. 'Reparations.' To argue against Lincoln's classical-liberal neutral principles.

          You think that’s what the 1619 package is a part of an effort to do?

          It comes on the heels of the NYT seemingly trying to taint the legacy of the moon landing. So I can see how that and the publicity around the 1619 project could be used to frame it that way. But I haven't seen any of the actual pieces comprising the project do that.

          I found the first description of it curious. Saying slavery made America exceptional. Which creates this notion that it worked? Not sure that’s a message to send. Although I do know that’s not what they meant at all. When I take a breath I’m looking forward to reading them.
