The most notorious example of how the 1619 Project got it grievously wrong is the ahistorical treatment of the American Revolution; I touched just the surface of that here https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1163495003659952128.html … & herehttps://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1163548660480786434 …

I could celebrate having fewer belligerent nitwits in my mentions, but the reality is, it's sad. Bouie's a smart guy who reads a lot. He could contribute to a serious debate, or he could sell snake oil to people who don't know better. He has chosen the latter path.

The first time I heard of Bouie was back in 2010, when he panned Markos Moulitsas' book "American Taliban." It was actually a sensible review! Hard to imagine him writing this today.https://www.redstate.com/dan_mclaughlin/2010/09/03/rave-reviews-for-american-taliban/ …

20. Anyway, as usual, I invite you all to read the whole thread & his responses; this is a public platform & I'm quite confident that my side of the argument can withstand the scrutiny. Also, I may inadvertently have failed to link this upthreadhttps://www.nationalreview.com/2019/08/1619-project-new-york-times-king-cotton-thesis/ …

this column's perspective on what is 'mainstream' and what is actually mainstream are not the same things. furthermore, change starts by advocating ideas that are not 'mainstream' until the point they gain sufficient support
