Summary
It’s the New “Big Lie”
According the New York Times’s “1619 Project，” America was not founded in 1776， with a declaration of freedom and independence， but in 1619 with the introduction of African slavery into the New World。 Ever since then， the “1619 Project” argues， American history has been one long sordid tale of systemic racism。
Celebrated historians have debunked this， more than two hundred years of American literature disproves it， parents know it to be false， and yet it is being promoted across America as an integral part of grade school curricula and unquestionable orthodoxy on college campuses。
The “1619 Project” is not just bad history， it is a danger to our national life， replacing the idea， goal， and reality of American unity with race-based obsessions that we have seen play out in violence， riots， and the destruction of American monuments—not to mention the wholesale rewriting of America’s historical and cultural past。
In her new book， Debunking the 1619 Project， scholar Mary Grabar， shows， in dramatic fashion， just how full of flat-out lies， distortions， and noxious propaganda the “1619 Project” really is。 It is essential reading for every concerned parent， citizen， school board member， and policymaker。

While this is considerably more openly white supremacist than Peter W。 Wood's treatment of this same subject matter， I'm going to structure my review similarly and will be starting with the exact same quote below:"We believe the one who has the power。 He is the one who gets to write the story。 So when you study history， you must always ask yourself， Whose story am I missing？ Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth？ Once you have figured that out， you must find that story t While this is considerably more openly white supremacist than Peter W。 Wood's treatment of this same subject matter， I'm going to structure my review similarly and will be starting with the exact same quote below:"We believe the one who has the power。 He is the one who gets to write the story。 So when you study history， you must always ask yourself， Whose story am I missing？ Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth？ Once you have figured that out， you must find that story too。 From there， you begin to get a clearer， yet still imperfect， picture。" ~ Homegoing by Yaa GyasiHistory isn't unbiased truth。Its a perspective。If the goal is to have the most complete record of what happened， history from ALL perspectives will have to be included。US History as traditionally told leaves out every perspective that isn't white and usually male。 US History as a subject is SO biased and dismissive of other perspectives of history that the US has had to supplement it by adding whole 'supplemental' history months to focus on the history that's admittedly omitted from standard US history curriculum。Probably the most well known in the US is Black History Month which has had to be repeated across the Western World because white supremacy omits and warps the history of marginalized peoples everywhere it exists。I am unsure why white supremacists are shocked by the idea that the descendants of those who were enslaved by the founding oppressors， view those same founding oppressors as monsters。 We are entitled to see history from our experience and perspective。This view of history is not harmful to white people as racist， white supremacist history still exists and is taught more widely。 The temper tantrum over the 1619 Project is the worst part of white supremacy。Please just grow up。Your ancestors committed genocide on a mass scale and if that hurts your feelings get the fuck over it。I'm tired of the whining。Your ancestors sucked， this country was founded on oppression and still runs on it。Those facts aren't 'woke' or 'Marxist' this is history from our perspective。We're not ever going to stop telling it and eventually your descendants will have to make amends。It is what it is。This， this is just a warped， racist and white supremacist view of history。The truth can't hurt you， its just words on a page。What is omitted from this white supremacist text is that The 1619 Project was first printed in the newspaper。 The newspaper has an entire department that exists solely to fact check stories before they are printed。 Any errors would've been corrected and the newspaper would print retractions。History books however are only checked for spelling and other writing errors。 This wasn't fact checked obviously or it wouldn't include the rhetoric about 'the great steal。🤷🏾♀️ This isn't truth or fact its just white supremacist nonsense。Now as for details， this author just lies。 Confederates rejected US citizenship， they committed treason against the USA so of course they're not heroes。 They were insurrectionists， separatists and treasonous cowards🤷🏾♀️Which is why they lost the war。White supremacists can get over that shit at anytime。We're taking the statues down。We're having our history taught mainstream🤷🏾♀️Luckily I was able to get a pirated audiobook copy of this and the narrator is a very angry Karen， lol。I enjoyed laughing at her faux outrage， what a fucking tool。I can not be expected to treat this Nazi version of history as anything other than fit for wiping asses with。 。。。more

While Dr。 Grabar makes valid points about the flaws in The 1619 Project， at times， I feel， she becomes overly polemical。 Her conclusion， though， is spot on and， for which， I applaud her！
