Well, I like the way that headline is phrased. Has the note of finality to the Left. I hope the Left dies a quick death after Trump kills then in the election.
The NYT is simply another lib rag.
England in the name of the King instituted slavery in what
would become the United States.
Our Founders wrote our founding documents over 150 years
later. When our leaders decided to take action to become
the managers of our own affairs, they came up with
documents that would eventually do away with slavery.
“All Men are create equal...”
That was the goal going forward.
It is the height of absurdity to blame the United States
for a system it did not set up, and was powerless to stop
at the time of our founding.
Hundreds of thousands of White Citizens of the United
States fought and died in a war that freed the slaves.
I don’t see that mentioned much.

Professors and historians call for withdrawal of ‘1619 Project ...www.youtube.com ›
The letter released Tuesday says the Project erased false claims in an attempt to deceive the public.
The date and premise of the 1619 Project are incorrect. Black slavery in the future United States did not begin with England, in 1619. It began with Spain, in 1526. A few days ago, I listened to a podcast that talked about Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón, a Spanish explorer who set up an unsuccessful colony in South Carolina in 1526. He had black slaves with him, though one of the goals of the colony was to enslave Indians.
There is no “final” of “crazy” without all of their demises.
Pretty good encapsulation of what the 1619 project is all about.
Just imagine the world without socialism and the left. There would be so much more happiness, so much less suffering, and so much more progress.
The very notion of “assaulting America” is repugnant to me. Assault my liberty?
I recognized the 1619 project for what it was immediately. I think most did. The Southerners who wanted slaves to do their farmwork were opposed by Northerners who eventually fought a civil war to make things right.
A short and quick history lesson and basic math.
1781, September 28
Battle of Yorktown begins:
On September 28, 1781, General George Washington, commanding a force of 17,000 French and Continental troops, begins the siege known as the Battle of Yorktown against British General Lord Charles Cornwallis and a contingent of 9,000 British troops at Yorktown, Virginia, in the most important battle of the Revolutionary War
America was not an evil country in the 1600’s to the late 1700’s. It didn’t exist in 1619 or most of the 1700’s.
Peace negotiations with England began in 1782, and on September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed, formally recognizing the United States as a free and independent nation after eight years of war.
Basic math and history!
Jamestown, Va. 1619 “20 Negroes” arrive on Dutch man of war ship. The Africans were not ordered and were traded for food and provisions for the crew of the Dutch man of war ship. Most were listed as indentured, not slaves.
In September 3,1783
We won the war, 164 years later, with England.
We were not a nation in August 1619. Jamestown was not even officially a Brit colony in 1619. Any slavery before 1783 was on England’s record. Most if not all of those 1619 Africans were indentured servants not slaves. Many like my ancestors were listed as Free Slaves in the censuses from the 1700’s.
If only
