The Real Goals of ‘The 1619 Project’
American Greatness ^ | 14 Mar, 2020 | Arthur Milikh

Teaching young people they have no country, that there is neither God nor justice, but only their own anger to right wrongs leads not to civilized self-rule but to fanaticism and self-destruction.

From Frederick Douglass to Martin Luther King Jr., many Americans have tried to bridge America’s racial divide. America’s newspaper of record believes it has discovered a new way.

No longer preaching faith in the Constitution or civic brotherhood, the New York Times hopes that—by creating enough hatred for the nation’s founding, its ideals, and for America’s majority group—justice and harmony will somehow emerge. This, anyway, is the idea behind its “1619 Project.”

Its lead essay, written by activist Nicole Hannah-Jones, falsifies important parts of American history with a view to engineering this new approach. While it has been roundly debunked by a chorus of renowned academics for gross factual and thematic inaccuracies, its most outlandish claim is that the American Revolution was fought to protect slavery. The preeminent historian of the American Revolution, Gordon Wood, points out that he does not know “of any colonist who said that they wanted independence in order to preserve their slaves.” Nor does anyone else.

With liberals you always have to just break the argument down to either pro or anti-life or you either love this country or hate this country- no middle ground

If they say they love the country - then you say you have to be for the rule of law because that is what defines these great United States of America

The true hard-core left do not believe in the rule of law

Justice and Harmony..."

and a Big Brother will be there to enforce justiceandharmony by eliminating those who do not think right and are therefore disruptive of J&H or putting them to productive use in forced labor institutions.

Of course. No matter how much the left insists they have the moral high ground, it always comes down to money with them.

These people don’t care about justice.i
It’s about control and thinking the elites will have it easier if the attack whites.

Extra super duper fake news.

Thats not a “New Way.”
