      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?

      Replying to @janecoaston @cjane87

      I'm looking a good deal more broadly than that, as are most of the people who are criticizing the series - nearly none of whom trust the Times as an honest interlocutor for reasons long predating August 2019.

      Dan—you can’t do meta on serious scholars and writers like this. Or not meta alone. You have to closely read the texts and criticize them on their own terms. Nobody is actually saying that @jbouie misread Calhoun or that @KevinMKruse doesn’t understand public transportation in

      Let's just say my experience with those two writers in particular does not fill me with confidence in their good faith.

      Ah yes, we must be bad faith actors because we don’t give a serious hearing to some right-wing ideologue who calls himself “baseball crank.” very wise.

      anyway if you think either me or kevin or anyone else in this project is trying to deceive or obfuscate, make that case. but “we don’t like you” isn’t actually the same as “bad faith”

      I assume from prior experience that if I start raising facts either of you dislike, you'll both just mute me & sic your followers on me. I'm always happy to engage in debate that isn't artificially constricted by such practices.

          And there it is: “I refuse to offer any factual rebuttal bc you’ll be mean to me [read: I have no factual rebuttal and I actually won’t even read your pieces]”

          Feel free to offer up some substantive criticism of the pieces. Thus far, not a single conservative has done so. It's all been weepy tweets about how we shouldn't remember the plight of black Americans, lest we want to delegitimize America.
