They are rewriting history not based on what actually occurred, but on an ideology that they are attempting to make happen today. These people are pure evil.

You know...every slave brought to the continental US was already a slave when they were picked up by the slave traders in Africa. Whitey did not go running through the jungles capturing slaves, when they bought them they were already slaves. Slave in fact can still be purchased in Africa today, sold by their own brethren. The current "African Americans" here in the US should be eternally grateful that their forefathers ended up here and that whitey fought a civil war to free them. Any punishment for the sin of slavery was paid for in blood by the people involved back in the American Civil war. We have the richest and most privileged black people in the world living in the USA. As an old white guy that immigrated to the US in 1968 I am eternally grateful to be here....they should be too.

guess what else was happening around the time of the 1619 to founding of America - African good Whitey Bad project?

African Muslim Barbary coast and other pirates from AFRICA were raping, plundering, murdering and enslaving White Europeans.

In fact Thomas Jefferson that old white dude slaver formed the US Navy and ended the African Barbary Coast Pirates.

Where are the reparations from Africa and all blacks for all the white slavery victims they oppressed?

I'm still waiting for the 1627 project to show up. That's when the famous raid on Iceland took place by POC from Africa and 400 captives were taken back to Africa and sold as slaves. Actually, European peoples had been raided and sold into slavery in Africa and the Middle East for many centuries. I've never seen a "project" put forth to address those issues. Oh wait, where are the descendants of all those white slaves? Shouldn't Africa have a large population of white people resulting from all those raids? From what I've been able to gather white slaves had a very short life expectancy and breeding them was not an accepted practice. I admit I don't know a lot about this subject, but if there were a 1627 project, maybe we all would know more.

When the human race can look back with understanding of the societies before us, without judging by modern standards, then it can be truly said that humanity has finally grown up. The 1619 Project shows we have a huge mountain to climb before then. As long as there are people willing to twist history for power and loot, that height will remain unscaled.

I just read this today:

At least the original pilgrims were courageous enough to set forth into the unknown world! Brave souls risking their lives.

Hindsight is always better than foresight! Hindsight is 20/20.

Deceitful history empowers no one. What good is served by telling blacks they are victim, making them eternal slv aes, to people like Soros. Blacks are the only group who never overcame victimhood. He put Japanese in camps, we mistreated Chinese on the frontier railroad line. we ridiculed Irish who came after the famine there. Cherokee who did not make the walk to Okla. remained poor, like my great great grandparents, in the hollows of teh deep South. Yet, only the Black are used and encouraged to whine. Is it not because people like faux African American Obama, Soros, Pelosi and BLM all encouraging it? As Soros put it, he likes to use blacks to riot, as the are "stupid" and he can "manipulate them." Who need to use whom, that is what we should ask, and never let them anywhere near US schools and policy making. These violators are the ones who ignore the Constitution.

Nancy Pelosi wants to help out these crazies by removing paintings depicting historical scenes of the founding fathers from the Capitol Rotunda. This attempt to destroy and rewrite US history is right out of George Orwell's 1984 and the philosophy of communism. Then a Black Billionaire Robert Johnson is pushing for reparations so he can have some of it too. He should be financially helping members of his own minority. They just want a handout not a handup.

“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”
George Orwell - 1984

Walter Williams was famous (or infamous, depending on your political flavor) for saying black Americans should be thankful their ancestors were brought to the Americas as slaves, because the survival rate of American slaves was much better than their relatives who remained in Africa. That is factual, but very politically incorrect, even if a prominent black economist said it.

My Irish roots arrived here on ships as Indentured Servants, That is just a nicer way of saying Slaves!
I don't want any reparations because I never knew a single one of them. Slavery in this country ended over 150 years ago and not a single black slave is even alive today to receive any reparations.

They’ve been subliminally attacking the Founding Fathers for decades. One example is when StarTrek named its antagonist race “The Founders” I recognized that blatant propaganda back then. All their work is beginning to pay dividends.

The backlash on all these claims of "racism" of one sort or another, will be horrendous. And I think it will come from those who are being labelled as "victims". As more and more claims are made by the leftists twits re: "injustices", I seem to see the curtain being pulled back to expose just who is really the racists, etc. pulling the strings of the puppet clowns who are in the forefront. It will not end well for any of us.
I don't know maybe its just me.

Why do they say that the United States was founded in 1619, anyway? People came here in 1619, but the UNITED STATES was founded in 1787, with the Constitutional Convention. Was it perfect?--Absolutely not. But it improved, and gradually came to live up more to its professed ideals. It nearly tore itself apart during the Civil War. And thus slavery was abolished. Is it perfect now? Absolutely not. But it will not be made so by bringing in a collectivist ideology and system to violate all the rights of man.

I do not agree with the notion that the US was founded specifically on violating people's rights, even though it's not perfect, had out-and-out slavery, and continues to violate people's rights today.

If people decide the US is founded on violating people's rights and has become a hopeless case, so we need to create carefully a new republic that holds truer to Enlightenment ideals; potential good could come out of that. Many posts on this site are some variant of that argument.
