One of the great debates of the 2020 campaign will be whether the key date in defining America is 1619 or 1776.
The left will assert that America is a terrible country and that its defining moment was the introduction of slavery.
Most Americans will see that as a racist definition of history in its own right and will continue to believe in the exceptionalism created in 1776 by the Declaration of Independence and implemented in 1787 by the Constitution.
This debate is being created by The New York Times’ determination to replace its failed crusade about President Trump and Russia with a new effort to define Trump as a racist – and racism as the greatest problem in America.
Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet, in a remarkable town hall meeting with his staff, admitted that the two-year effort to destroy Trump through the Russian collusion story had failed. The collapse of the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller had closed off that line of attack.
Baquet admitted: “Our readers who want Donald Trump to go away suddenly thought, ‘Holy s---, Bob Mueller is not going to do it.’… We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well. Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story.”
In pursuit of the political passion of its left-wing base, the Times has now told everyone it intends to make sure the 2020 campaign is about race and racism.
After readers rebelled over the headline "Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism," it was clear that the Times had to pander to the left. As Baquet noted: “Our readers and some of our staff cheer us when we take on Donald Trump, but they jeer at us when we take on Joe Biden.”

The key debate is whether anti-white racism is racism.
1 = 1
A = A
anti-white racism is racism.
The New York Times is racist.
Don’t let propagandists guilt you about anything.
This will backfire!

More information and analysis. That’s what patriots do. Liberty here we come.
In 1619, there was a Britain and British colonies. There was no United States. Likely not yet even a dream of one. Neither of these things fit the yarn they’re trying to spin.
Good point
It was well established among the native tribes already.
The first black slave in America was owned by another black colonist.

Excellent piece.
Thanks for linking, it is an excellent piece.
A phrase I heard years ago when I was visiting in NYC, was “Jewish lightning.” For some reason it comes to me after running across this. First and only time I’d ever heard it and perhaps it is singular to NYC. Just saying!
It is stupid to argue with these commie pukes in our echo chamber here. Arguing it gives them credence...do not accept their logic. Arguing with them is futile as facts and logic don’t matter.
