This is a huge challenge for the 1619 Project as well as CRT. I want someone to tell me i’m wrong on this basis of 1619/CTR, _especially_ if quoting actual passages from the speech. (Both 1619 and CRT rely on Douglass as a pillar of their claims)

"If."

As the Spartan king said. "If".

If you cannot get this message out through mass communications, it is not a challenge at all to these liars.

I used to think that the truth was a powerful weapon to stop evil people. It's certainly good to have the truth on your side, but that by itself is often not enough.

What you need as much as the truth is a way to convey the truth to others, and simply talking about it on an internet forum will produce very little in the way of progress.

If you could command ABC, or CBS, or NBC, or CNN, or FOXNews, or Google, or Facebook, you might have a chance to make your argument that Frederick Douglas refutes CRT and the narrative of the 1619 project.

But you don't, so you can only hold a victory party in a small little tea room or something.

You can't make any actual progress with this argument. You can preach to the small choir around here, but nothing in the way of a larger impact.

Yes, Frederick Douglas (Also Booker T Washington) and others refute the assertions of CRT and the 1619 project.

Yah! We won! (In our tiny little pond.)

I can get it out through mass communications, that’s the advantage of having it as an open source medium. This is what I keep trying to stress to people around me, you put it into the public domain and big tech can’t silence it.

Besides, I’m also perfectly happy to preach to the choir. There is always benefit we can provide to each other that won’t be provided in any other way. Particularly, homeschoolers are a focus and strength.

So its a little bit of both.
