Based on the1619 Project, the DNC should be outlawed and it’s leaders banned from public life.

[marron]

The DNC is a party with a bad conscience and a despicable history. It’s no wonder they insist on rewriting history.

Look At This Professor’s Forced Confession

Hot irons? Thumb screws? Cat of nine tails?

[Tell It Right]

Agreed. Life in the U.S. would be a lot nicer if the Dims quit trying to make everybody else feel guilty for what the Dims are guilty of.

I have sent the bellow letter to papers for years now and never seen it published anywhere.

The 1619 Project begun August 2019 never possessed merit.

Before the French and Indian War, the New World contained thirteen commercial colonial corporations in which Great Britain demanded slavery. All initiatives to abolish the practice had been prohibited by the Crown and Parliament, which mandated this worldwide system of bondage for their charters, so colonial economic activities would support the mercantile policies of the mother country.

After the Treaty of Paris in 1768, the consequences of that struggle caused to emerge the distinct attributes of an American identity associating the colonies with each other; an identity separate from and antagonistic to Crown and Parliament initiatives.

Following the beginning of the rebellion, the country had seen six of thirteen colonies free slaves and two others abolish the international slave trade.

At the Constitutional Convention. George Mason of Virginia said, “This infernal traffic originated in the avarice of British merchants…. Slavery discourages arts and manufactures….Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant….They bring the judgement of heaven on a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world they must be in this”.

Slavery was retained but delegates only agreed to suspend initiatives by Congress until 1808, when the expectation of building moral outrage should vanquish the institution. The philosophical doctrines consulted for founding this country placed master and slave on the same natural plane of existence and only postponed the free exercise of conscience. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution are the first founding documents by a country which doomed slavery.

Sort of like the Dems endlessly prattling on about gun crime, 99.9% of which is committed by Democrats. :)

1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones is not a historian. She is, however, a hyphenated woman. Such creatures are always to be viewed with suspicion.

So this colored lady is concerned with the slaves of 400 years ago. Today in September 2022 there are slaves in China. We can't do anything about 400 years ago, but if she gave a rats ass she would devote her allotted time to campaigning for the rights of present day slaves.

James H. Sweet is the President of the AHA. The September 2022 issue of the AHA's Perspectives on History has his 2-page essay "Is History History?" Since this just came out, maybe his critics were attacking an earlier version--I don't know if the September version is identical. He does criticize the distortions of history in The 1619 Project and in the film The Woman King but goes on to attack Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for their Supreme Court opinions on gun laws and abortion, and praises Stephen Breyer.

I'm not a member of the AHA but my department receives the Perspectives.

Here is a good interview about the 1619 project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYdhm6XfTVQ The interview is about 75 minutes.

Hannah Jones has an agenda to push

[Nifster]

It’s the party of rebellion, slavery, and Jim Crow

‘The atrocities African people inflicted on each other” are obvious to people familiar with grammar and vocabulary. Reading African history for thirty minutes proves that Original Sin is alive and well around the world.

So this colored lady is concerned with the slaves of 400 years ago.

Not really... This "colored lady" is only interested in reparations for a wrong she and modern day American blacks never suffered, and she wants people to pay reparations who aren't at all responsible for the stated offense. No one in the world is less deserving of reparation windfalls than American blacks. Paying them money is only the start of the reparations they will demand if we start going down that road.
