Great article. I have heard leftists even say that the old British Empire wasn’t so bad and Americans should have been happy to remain subjects of King George rather than wage a revolution. The leftists claim to hate imperialism, but the left hates the American Revolution, which was a revolt against one of the great empires back then. Slavery in America was a relic of the British Empire and was a tragic contradiction that was allowed to uneasily exist for a while - slavery was not a founding value of the American republic.

a keeper for future reference...  Yes, Greenfield did a terrific job in this rebel journalist piece. 

And just in time.  Without warning, a drone crashed in the middle of my front lawn.  When I went outside to inspect, I found the smoking drone was completed destroyed, but it carried a payload reading: "Time capsule from the year 2120".  Bringing the capsule inside to examine, it instantly projected a video text on the living room wall which read:

Excellent read, except for the politically correct “BCE” and “CE” crap.

No, that’s not what is going on.

For example, if you go to Wikipedia and review an article with dates, ‘BCE’ is used.

It’s a bald attempt to change language and ignore Jesus Christ. ‘BC’ used to mean ‘before Christ’ and AD used to mean ‘Anno Domini’ [after Christ’s birth].

This is a cultural thing.

I appreciate your response. I will continue to use ‘BC’ and ‘AD’, just like I won’t use ‘ze’ and ‘zer’.

I’m with Jordan Peterson on this. Don’t let others change how you talk.

Cheers, ‘Pod.

BCE & CE are illiteracy.

“Common Era” is vague and undefined. Academia just redefined the historical dating system, but then replaces it with trash.

Academia is scientifically illiterate.
Academia is historically illitetate.

The use of BCE should be properly ridiculed.

It even has the inconsistent stupidity to use 3 and 2 character placeholders.

You cannot make this stuff up.

The Communist infiltration of the University is to make your children recite jibberish.

Greenfield does a great job of revealing the truth.

The New York Times and their Leftist sycophants don't care about the truth - only their own power and greed via their lying version of "truth".

A fine article. Also consider this: “No, America Wasn’t Built On Slavery, But Faith That All Men Are Created Equal.” https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/21/no-america-wasnt-built-slavery-faith-men-created-equal/

Does anyone remember an article, possibly on FR, a lengthy article, in which at one point it stated that there was a time in world history when there were three forms of slavery. 1. Slavery as we know it when one is actually the property of another. 2. Indentured servanthood in which an individual could purchase freedom (but seldom did) and 3. serfdom when a whole class of people worked for a master. During those times there were periods in which 80% of the population suffered under one type of slavery or the other. I would like to find and read that article again.

The New York Times’ 1619 Project falsely claims that all American institutions were shaped by slavery. It would be more accurate to say that they were shaped by the opposition to slavery.

Press hunger for endless exaggerated black pity-party stories is a disgusting ploy to gin up black resentment to harvest votes. The New York Times sucks. Shame on them. Sulzberger's being played for a fool... another fredo...

Meanwhile the New York Times, which profits from its extensive tourism trade, offers a tour of The Secrets of Marrakesh. These ‘secrets’ focus on dining and shopping.

No mention is made of the UN report documenting the 85,000 people living in slavery in Morocco today. There’s a tour of Egypt, or as the Times calls it, The Land of the Pharaohs, where Eritrean Christian refugees have been held in slave camps for ransom. There’s a trip to Istanbul where 50,000 political prisoners of the Islamist regime rot.

And there’s Qatar, where millions of slaves, 90% of the population, labor for their Muslim masters in the killing heat, suffering, dying by the thousands, raped in private households, and kept in thrall.

The New York Times has no Project 1619 for Qatar. There is instead a trip to Doha with Roger Cohen.

And there’s also one place that doesn’t appear on the Times itinerary: Pedophile Island.

In 2008, Landon Thomas Jr., a New York Times correspondent and personal friend of Epstein, visited the infamous island.

Dean Baquet of the New York Times is a two bit liar, a poverty pimp ginning up hatred, and stuck on an eternal pity party trip. How disgusting...

A typical quality piece by Mr. Greenfield. In this instance it’s also a keeper for future reference.

Ditto to both your sentences.
