This smells like a grift. This reads like it was made for lefties but they rejected it but it's on a clearly right wing website which means the left likely has no idea this thing was ever made.
Can we just get content made for right wingers without having to sell it as something the left hates? My objective is seeking truth, not pissing off the left.
People who are into the political drama CRAVE the grift. Do you not see how they latch onto anyone who "owns the libs" like that person is their new personal savior? The grift works. Unfortunately
It is a gift, but get off the coin.
Grift, like grifter. No idea wtf you mean on the second part.
So what is the 1619 thing about? That the US breaking away from England was to preserve slavery?
I was going to give you a link, but you should do the search yourself. Just scrolling down and reading the first sentence of every site will help you.
Here's an example of how this project has been proven to be propaganda.

The Elites control everything and kill all those who expose them but somehow this documentary got made.
Curious.
The 1619 project was published in the NYT. There was a book to go with it, and the woman in the picture became an instant media darling despite her bad research. This isn't the first time she's been called out on her errors. She doesn't fix them. That's unheard of in the history field. You learn, and you learn from your mistakes. This woman proved her message was more important than the truth so many times.
So why do the Elites, who control everything, allow this to be made public?
I'll explain it this way.
Which side is getting the publicity?
Each one of the many ignoring ELITE; noun (French élite) - "selection, choice", when choosing to consent to the suggestions of the few, shapes the few into the selected/chosen elite, hence into the "chosen ones".
a) DOCU; from DEK (to take; accept) + MENT (mind/memory) implies ones choice to consent to the suggestions of others; hence ones submissive state of mind.
b) DOC as in doctrine (teachings; dogma; instructions)...a doc-u-ment (docks your mind), while a doc-t-or (dock-ed-oar) prevents one from steering freely.
