If Mort Divine ruled the world

Apparently his friend Jamal is now on the Harris train too, so not really a backstab as much as a mutual bending-over. Funny also to see Cenk switch from anti-DNC to pro-DNC every other month and now get snubbed of a press pass for the convention.

More peaceful protesting in Portland, when a man tried to intervene in an altercation between a mob and a woman, he was attacked, he tried to drive away and was chased, then when his car crashed he was beaten, kicked in the head (by some faggot named Keese Love) and then his car was looted.

Floyd must be very proud.

The criticism of the Times has emboldened some conservatives to assert that such “revisionist history” is flat-outillegitimate. The right-wing publication The Federalist is extending the fight with a planned “1620 Project” about the anniversary of the Mayflower Landing at Plymouth Rock. (This plan is already inviting its own correction request, since Plymouth Rock is not actually the site of the Pilgrims’ first landing.) The project was even criticized on the floor of the U.S. Senate when, during the impeachment trial, President Donald Trump’s lawyer cited the historians’ letter to slam the project. Some observers, including at times Hannah-Jones herself, have framed the argument as evidence of a chasm between black and white scholars (the historians who signed the letter are all white), pitting a progressive history that centers on slavery and racism against a conservative history that downplays them.

But the debates playing out now on social media and in op-eds between supporters and detractors of the 1619 Project misrepresent both the historical record and the historical profession. The United States was not, in fact, founded to protect slavery—but the Times is right that slavery was central to its story. And the argument among historians, while real, is hardly black and white. Over the past half-century, important foundational work on the history and legacy of slavery has been done by a multiracial group of scholars who are committed to a broad understanding of U.S. history—one that centers on race without denying the roles of other influences or erasing the contributions of white elites. An accurate understanding of our history must present a comprehensive picture, and it’s by paying attention to these scholars that we’ll get there.

This is effectively why I think the 1619 Project is valuable, but also why it's been mishandled.
 
Jones is at fault for the misrepresentation! She took good work and sensationalized it with a ridiculous claim!

New research isn't being done because of 1619 , new research was being done that directly influenced 1619!
