Hulu, the video subscription service, released on Tuesday a preview of its upcoming docuseries, an adaptation of New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones' controversial endeavor, "The 1619 Project."
The project, which Hannah-Jones launched in 2019, "aims to reframe the country's history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative."
Supporters of the project believe that Americans need to be reeducated about the impact "anti-Black racism and inequality" has had on the country's past and present. However, the project's historical accuracy has been repeatedly contested and debunked.
Roger Ross Williams, the filmmaker of the docuseries, stated, "'The 1619 Project' is an essential reframing of American history. Our most cherished ideals and achievements cannot be understood without acknowledging both systemic racism and the contributions of Black Americans. And this isn't just about the past—Black people are still fighting against both the legacy of this racism and its current incarnation."

Like after Roots, millions of people will have a chip on their shoulder and take it out on innocent ones near them.

Well, Hulu is owned by Disney Corp, so there you go.
It is reprehensible to peddle this garbage.
Because when I want to learn about the real story of American history, I’m going to watch a fictional TV show by an uneducated wokey black guy who makes movies for a living.
Is this going to solve the family crisis?

All you need to do is walk down MLK Boulevard in any major city after midnight—that will give you a real history lesson...
I’m reading Dr. Thomas Sowell’s book, Black Rednecks & White Liberals and it is a fantastic book. I love history and have learned more about race relations in America after reading the first 20 pages then I have in my 60 years of life. Did a quick Google & it appears you can download a PDF if you’re so inclined.
This is the third of his books I have read & with each book, just solidifies in my mind that he’s one of the leading thinkers of our time.
Docuseries?? Its complete FICTION, not a documentary
Drive-by culture
Mall-death culture
Flash mob theft culture
Sports team win/loss destroy the neighborhood culture
Always blame everyone else culture
Studying is acting white culture
Silent on black on black violence/murder culture
So many more....
Can’t believe all the woke leftists going cancel culture over this.
Is this a comedy ?
Here is a free open source public domain audiobook that helps disprove much of the tripe peddled by the 1619 project.

(Full disclosure: I helped build this.)
To solve that you’ll have to dig up LBJ, have him recognize the failings in his great society social engineering project and ask him to plot a new course of action. Somehow, I don’t think that’s going to happen.
It does show government’s ability to mess things up wherever they put their hand.
Never subscribed.
Won’t miss them.
One or two days ago I saw that Hulu had the 1619 Project. I cancelled my Hulu subscription today with enthusiasm.
A few years ago, I cancelled Netflix. I’m now using FREEVEE, Tubi, Acorn, FoxNation, EpochTV, Salem and VUDU. When college football season starts, I will have to look around. I’m not going back to Hulu plus Live even if it means missing a few games.
Changing habits, especially family habits, is hard. However, I urge you to drop left-wing propaganda outlets such as HULU and Netflix. They are willing to lose customers in order to “reform” society. I hope their stock falls so far that Musk can buy the companies cheap. Once the companies are reformed, I will return as a customer.
I find that the better series usually have multiple seasons. By definition, that means they are older. They are usually available on the networks I still watch.
Giving up Hulu means giving up Surreal Estate and perhaps Ghosts. There was enough men kissing men that I won’t miss them.
