Washington -- According to the Washington Times -- also known as the Good Times -- last week, the Biden administration made plans "to offer grants for U.S. history classes that teach critical race theory and the '1619 Project,'" which is a confection of The New York Times. Both critical race theory and "The 1619 Project" are based on the fundamental insight that slavery is, according to the Washington Times, "the centerpiece of the American narrative."
Now, there is not much a historian can say about people living in forced servitude for roughly 246 years beyond that it was one of the gravest injustices in human history. Slavery was wrong when it was practiced here, and it took the Civil War to eliminate it. It has been wrong when it has been practiced in other countries, and it has been practiced in many other countries. Finally, it will be wrong if it is ever tried again, and I believe it has been tried again. Consider the plight of Uyghurs in China.
Of course, there is another problem with critical race theory and "The 1619 Project." They are based on fantasies. They are based on such exaggerations as the argument for "systemic racism." The presidency of Barack Obama proved systemic racism is an exaggeration, as does the presence of Black people in both political parties at pretty high levels.

Slavery was wrong when it was practiced here
But not when Africa had European slaves.
People, including many Blacks, are getting tired of this crap!
Very, very tired of it.
The illegal regime continues to INCITE rather than UNITE.
Their downfall is coming....
Of course, Biden has forgotten that he said he would be the great “UNITER” because he can’t remember what he says from one day to the next.
It took him 3 months of intensive practice to read his tardy state of the regime speech.
1619 fails to mention Africa’s part in slavery...It makes it hard to blame white supremacy when blacks had a hand in slavery.....
I’m sure you’ve seen this at the link below. We certainly ain’t the worst of the bunch. Although to listen to some, the colonists invented slavery.

Keeping the division going is worth big $$$$$$$$. Just ask paddy coulurs or what ever her name is.
Yes. Most people are tired of it.
You hope and I hope, but I don't see any evidence of it.
“The presidency of Barack Obama proved systemic racism is an exaggeration”
We ended up with Bathhouse Barry as president - in spite of the fact that he was incompetent and totally unqualified - by dimwit white people trying to prove to themselves and their dimwit woke buddies that they were not racists.
Indeed good post
.
Blacks had a hand in slavery
The were the first to sell their own people on a world wide scale.
Now the look for an excuse to blame white people for it stupidity is unlimited in some.
***and it took the Civil War to eliminate it.***
Slavery did not end until the 13th Amendment was ratified in Dec of 1865, eight months after the war ended. Several slave states that remained in the Union still had slaves until that date.
And various Indian Tribes of the west still held on to their slaves till the 1880s, when the US almost provoked another Indian War when they said the Tribes had to follow the 13th Amendment.
Ever wonder why the British in Kenya preferred to use hired Indians from India instead of local blacks to do their work?
