1619 & all that

Irish Catholics were the fist slaves in America and they were "for-free" and "disposable," unlike the "pay-for" African slaves.

I wonder if the racist pigs who run the nyt will include the nyt’s role in preserving slavery. Or discuss the Dimokkkraps’ having started the Civil War to preserve the institution of slavery, and then having institutionalized racism in the South to preserve their political power and continue the fight. The Dimokkkraps have been like an occupying force in the South and now that they have been thrown out geographically they are trying to occupy the US by propagandizing The Gullibles.

While the NYTimes is adding to divisiveness of "race, race, race," perhaps they'd like to go over the old ground of a few other myths promulgated by blacks in America. Kwansa is one made-up-out-of-whole-cloth myth. Then there's the "Cleopatra was black," myth. And, for the sheer fun of it, how about the "Africa was a paradise before the white man came," myth.

Perhaps one of these days, the NYT could stop telling their stories and narratives, and actually just report the news and the facts. If they want to tell a really interesting story, perhaps they could tell us all about the history of White indentured servitude, where many thousands of new White immigrants served as virtual slaves for years to pay off debts. Or how, as a European visitor to the New Orleans docks observed, the black slaves were just standing around, lollygagging, while White irishmen were toiling all day in the hot sun loading heavy cargo on to the ships. He asked why the slaves weren't doing this dangerous, exhausting work. The answer was that black slaves were worth a lot of money. Irishmen were cheap and expendable.

The left and their never-ending stupid ideas.

How about we do a new study called the 1450 project about how 14% of the population commits half of the violent crimes to include rape and murder? Until this is addressed, nothing will change and innocent people of all races will suffer.

Nicely written, couldn't agree more.

From the Wall Street Journal's "The 1619 Project gets Schooled", in reference to the socialists who criticized the project: "The project’s creator, Nikole Hannah-Jones, is proud that it “decenters whiteness” and disdains its critics as “old, white male historians.” She tweeted of Mr. McPherson: “Who considers him preeminent? I don’t.” Her own qualifications are an undergraduate degree in history and African-American studies and a master’s in journalism. She says the project goes beyond Mr. McPherson’s expertise, the Civil War. “For the most part,” she writes in its lead essay, “black Americans fought back alone” against racism. No wonder she’d rather not talk about the Civil War. To the Trotskyists, Ms. Hannah-Jones writes: “You all have truly revealed yourselves for the anti-black folks you really are.” She calls them “white men claiming to be socialists.” Perhaps they’re guilty of being white men, but they’re definitely socialists. Their faction, called the Workers League until 1995, was “one of the most strident and rigid Marxist groups in America” during the Cold War, says Harvey Klehr, a leading historian of American communism." Also, "Ms. Hannah-Jones insists “anti-black racism runs in the very DNA of this country.” Mr. Mackaman calls that claim “anti-historical.” Proving it requires her to belittle the most progressive declaration of modern history: “that all men are created equal.” Ms. Hannah-Jones calls this a “lie” and claims its drafters didn’t even believe it. The abolitionists disagreed. So did Martin Luther King Jr: He saw it as a “promissory note.”" The NYTimes has descended into little but a source of dangerous and divisive disinformation.

#6, priceless, you made my day!! I can't stop laughing!!! I commented the other day on a story about a black on white murder saying that we see stories on violent black on white crime daily, yet--somehow--whitey is always to blame. I do not believe your skin color determines your behavior or worth. Having said that, when people come from broken and dysfunctional homes and are taught that society hates them, are encouraged to resent and strike back--can we really be surprised at the result. We also have a government that treats them like dependent children, they never get to the point where they are making their own way or have pride in their actual accomplishments. It's human nature to respond in a certain way, and it's encouraged by our society. You reap what you sow.
