Reminder: as Hulu's "documentary" on the 1619 Project is set to hit the airwaves, it is worth remembering that the New York Times "reports" are not designed to teach Americans — and their children — to hate slavery or racism (or simply to teach about American history); they are designed to make us hate America.
Remember that the 1619 Project is akin to arguing that because a hypothetical Englishman in Roanoke,
say one Mr. Henderson, beat Mrs. Henderson (regularly or otherwise) during the year 1585, this means that the USA was founded, centuries later, on
wife-beating and that the villainous American people (actually, its wicked
male inhabitants, those black-hearted rascals) instigated the American Revolution only, or mainly, to
institute a nation of millions and millions of wife-beaters. (Thanks for the Instalink…)
As Hulu is set to start streaming their 1619 Project documentary (sic) series within a week's time, it is but one more piece of evidence of the disgusting vilification and the brainless demonization of America and its history by the usual drama queens continuing without any slowdown whatsoever.
UPDATE: The first report on Hulu's first episode is in: Contrary (180º contrary) to what Harvard's Nikole Hannah-Jones and the University of South Carolina's Woody Holton claim, the 1775 proclamation of slave owner Lord Dunmore was a reaction to—not a cause of—a revolution already in full swing.As Julia Hopping puts it, the 1619 Project is teaching (sic) our children (of all races) not to hate slavery but to hate America.
The 1619 Project is indoctrinating our children to hate America not slavery. RT #HumanTrafficking #1619Project #SaveTheChildren

The Democrats think you are the scum of the earth (unless of course you rally behind their party) and hate your very guts. (Didn't the 1860s prove this?)
In the Golden State, California Governor Newsom's wife Siebel licenses films to public schools that seek, says Open The Books founder Adam Andrzejewski, "to activate students politically and in accordance with some radical ideologies about gender, identity, race and privilege" (thanks to Ed Driscoll), with one of the films' leftists declaring that Americans need to "express shame and sorrow about who we are and what we've done" as a society.
In the Great Lakes State, a Michigan school board member responsible for the education of thousands of children says whiteness is evil, causing trauma, while calling white people stupid, dangerous, and difficult to be near (thanks to Glenn Reynolds). In the North Star State, meanwhile, writes Behind the Black's (obrigado to Sarah Hoyt),
Minnesota’s unelected education bureaucracy is about to impose new licensing requirements for teachers that will essentially blacklist all Christians, Jews, or Muslims by requiring teachers to teach the queer agenda as well as the critical race theory to young children.
… the new licensing rules [displays] the language requiring teachers to agree to the queer agenda. It also hints at full approval of the Marxism program of critical race theory, whereby all western civilization and America in particular is seeped in bigotry and hate, and must be condemned at all times.
… the only thing teachers will be allowed to teach about past American history is that Americans put blacks in chains while oppressing all other minorities as well as the homosexual community. Jefferson didn’t write the Declaration of Independence, he was a slave-owner who raped his slaves. The Constitution wasn’t written to limit the government and protect individual rights, but to establish slavery as an approved and legal activity.
Under these rules, which will be imposed by the bureaucracy and an unelected judge, it will not only be impossible for any religious person to obtain a teaching license in Minnesota, these rules will also blacklist all conservatives, whether they are religious or not.
As even voices in France start railing against « le Projet 1619 », IREF's reports that Hulu will be streaming a 1619 Project docu-series starting on January 26.
… que Jefferson ait eu des esclaves … ne justifie pas que l’on travestisse rétrospectivement les fondements de la révolution américaine comme l’ont fait les journalistes du projet 1619.
Hulu features two trailers that preview its "upcoming six-part limited docu-series 'The 1619 Project'" which "is an expansion of 'The 1619 Project' created by Pulitzer Prize-winning Nikole Hannah-Jones and the New York Times Magazine."
At the bottom of this email (just below the next video). see the compilation of the ever-growing list of voices reacting to the 1619 Project — some written by myself, many others linked from all corners of the internet — gathered by No Pasarán since 2019.
You can bet your sweet (black or white) bass that none of these voices will be quoted (certainly not other than summarily, in order to be readily dismissed) in Hulu's documentary.
(Incidentally, if you want a parody of the Left's obsession with reparations, turn to the Babylon Bee: Egypt Ordered to Pay Israel Reparations for Slavery…)
The compilation below contains no less than 62 — sixty-two! —of these rebuttals, written or gathered over a three-year period. (Just reading their titles should give you an idea of their content.) But a summary of them all can be found in the following blockquote. As I write in The 1619 Project Summarized in One Single Sentence,
It is nothing short of preposterous to claim that an obscure (if admittedly heinous) one-day commercial transaction — involving two or three white males in a tiny Virginia hamlet a century and a half before (!) the founding of a nation — is more reflective of said nation and of an entire people than the 15-to-20-year era of strife and quarrels including a continent-wide war (the American Revolution along with its attendant historical documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution), which concerned every single one of its (then) two and a half million inhabitants, as well as the power structure of the entire Western world.It is time to defeat these suicidal maniacs once and for all and to bring the era of the drama queens to an end.

one has been able to identify a single leader, soldier, or supporter of
the Revolution who wanted to protect his right to hold slaves (A declaration that
slavery is the founding institution of America and the center of
everything important in our history is a ground-breaking claim, of the
same type as claims that America condones rape culture, that 9/11 was an
inside job, that vaccinations cause autism, that the Moon landing was a
hoax, or that ancient astronauts built the pyramids)

finally end slavery in its Caribbean colonies")

to Republican Voter Registration in History Departments is More than 33 to 1
• Secular humanistic indoctrination dumbs
down children, drives wedges between them and their parents, and has
grown increasingly hostile to patriotism and parental authority

mockery of our political origins, in defiance of actual history, with
the expressed purpose of sabotaging our sense of national identity
• Denying the grandeur of the nation’s founding—Wilfred McClay on 1619: "Most of my students are shocked to learn that that slavery is not uniquely American"

America to Kids in College, in School, and Even in Elementary Classes

• "Distortions, half-truths, and outright falsehoods": Where does the 1619 project state that Africans themselves were central players in the slave trade? That's right: Nowhere
• John Podhoretz on 1619: the idea of reducing US history to the fact that some people owned slaves is a reductio ad absurdum and the definition of bad faith
• The 1619 Africans in Virginia were not ‘enslaved’, a black historian points out; they were indentured servants — just like the majority of European whites were
