Over the weekend, The New York Times launched "The 1619 Project," an attempt to reframe American history around the idea that the United States was truly founded in 1619 when the first black slaves came to America, rather than in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed. The project reframes many aspects of American life as rooted in slavery and oppression, including capitalism, the consumption of sugar, and the U.S.'s rejection of 100 percent government-funded health care.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), the candidate of radical identity politics in the 2020 Democratic primary race, praised the project as "a masterpiece."
"We must speak this truth: the very foundation of our country was built on the backs of enslaved people. The [1619 Project]in print today in the Sunday [New York Times]is a masterpiece from [Nikole Hannah-Jones] and her colleagues at [New York Times Magazine]," Harris wrote.

Actually, the country was built on the backs of Native Americans—and everyone, including blacks, owes them reparations.
Right, Kamala?
P.S. What about blacks that emigrated to American after slavery ended? Do they owe reparations to blacks who are ancestors of slaves? Just asking...
“...I am sick of ...
1-Always being called a racist when I consider the content of their character vs the color (or whatever) of their skin in all my interactions on and off the job.
2-Being blamed for something that happened before my family ever came to this country from Germany mid-1800s.
I feel that race relations are now back to the level of 1965. Great progress in 50 years, eh? We have a culture problem. Identity Politics is by definition divisive...”
Yep. Most all of us are right there with ya, Jimmy.
However, I don’t believe we have a “culture problem”. What we have is a commie lib problem that wants to overthrow the country. They’re using all the things you’ve listed in their efforts to do so.
In November 2020, the American People will elect to the Presidency of the USA either
(1) one of themor
(2) a man of extraordinarily high intellect and puissance, who loves America, believes in the American Dream: liberty, justice, and prosperity for all the people of the world, and is committed to making America great.
The Canadian. She moved to Canada at age 7, so says Wiki, and attended Canadian government schools all the way to high school graduation.
So she certainly does not have American History in her educated brain, nor civics, nor participating in Fourth of July celebrations, or Memorial Day parades, did she ever taste apple pie growing up in Canada?
MS. HARRIS’ ATTITUDE DEPENDS ON WHAT MENSA CYCLE SHE IS IN.
Not surprised considering it was the Times that told us that the massacres in Russian Georgia were all lies, even though Russian immigrants (like Ayn Rand) told us otherwise.
Someone needs to investigate New York Times’ new digital subscribers... I suspect Soros is buy Soros or his hacks are buying them in other’s people’s names... People who DO NOT READ THE TIMES OR SUPPORT THEIR ADVERTISERS.
I am liking our women less and less and less...
This is all about the NYT giving up on “Russia Russia” to unseat Trump and trying out “racist racist” instead.

“...the Democrats are committed to framing this election as a contest between those who love America and those who hate it.”
It’s sad it has come to this. The Democrats are counting on 50+ years of indoctrination in public schools and universities having achieved their goal of building a “hate-America” coalition of 51% of the voters. Are they over-reaching too soon? Should they have waited another ten years to complete their hate-America project?
It reminds me of Hitler invading Poland in 1939. If he had been patient and waited another five or ten years, the outcome might have been very different.
