[Bruce Campbells Chin]

It most certainly is NOT the United States’s - we can rule this one out completely.

Well, it's not our original sin in the sense that we invented it, because we obviously didn't. On the other hand, it is a sin that was with us from the original moment of our founding.

"On the other hand, it is a sin that was with us from the original moment of our founding."

That is probably fair but that "with us" that you put there entirely rules out the use of the word "original".

Ruling out that word "original" is a massive win against The 1619 Project. Original means origination and in no way does it originate with us.

The European Powers did this. The original sin is theirs. Somebody brought the Africans here. There is a somebody.

The 1619 Project wants it to be "BY us", not "with us". But they cannot have that. It is not true. This is massive. This is the elephant in the room.
