What the New York Times’ historically illiterate 1619 Project gets wrong

Professor Wilfred Reilly of Kentucky State University recently exposed the project’s intellectual dishonesty in his recent essay for RealClearPublicAffairs. “Popular left-wing models of historical education, regularly make claims about further injustices and atrocities that are simply not based in reality,” he wrote.

American values bring people together – Cancel America drives us apart

But while we continue to blame politics for our disagreements, the Black Lives Matter, Cancel America radicals who control the Democratic Party are the real ones dividing us. They push values that are inherently divisive. Their multiculturalism, so lauded by the media, is just a ploy to segregate us based on race, gender identity, and endless micro labels.

Wokeness over qualifications – why merit matter

One of America’s greatest ideals is that we have race-blind equality of opportunity. But in Black Lives Matter’s world, race is a key qualifier above all others – including the office of the President of the United States.

This is a racist ideology. As AmericaIsGood.us founder Tom Klingenstein said, “[BLM] is racist, because it wants to divide the nation into racial groups. They say that only white people can be racists. That’s racist! They believe that individuals are defined in meaningful ways by the color of their skin.”

Northwestern University’s President Just Stood Up to the Cancel America Crowd

The president of Northwestern University, Morton Schapiro, is taking a strong stance in answer to student protests that took place there in mid-October. He disagrees with conservatives concerning police violence and black equality, but he refuses to engage in Cancel America Culture.

Schapiro received many messages concerning the student protests. Among their demands was the abolition of the Northwestern University Police Department. He made it clear in a letter written to students that he understands the students’ concerns, but the school has absolutely no intention of doing away with the NUPD.

America is Good – a Touching Story

Tessa Sollom Williams, who is a 90-year-old former ballerina, sent a letter to the gym telling them how much she enjoys watching their rooftop workout classes from her 8th floor apartment window. She works at emulating their moves and she watches the classes closely.

The gym loved her letter and put it on their Facebook page: “Friday Feels. It is messages like this that keep us moving. We’re going to look for even more ways to inspire our neighbors next door, so stay tuned for some fun updates!”

America is Good – Just Ask Amy Coney Barrett & Clarence Thomas

You can’t succeed as a woman in America. You can’t have children if you want a successful legal career. You certainly can’t achieve any of your goals if you have to take care of a special needs child. Your religious beliefs disqualify you from holding public office.

Will Facebook suppress your speech after the election?

“Facebook executives have said they would only deploy the tools in dire circumstances, such as election-related violence, but that the company needs to be prepared for all possibilities…” This doesn’t sit well with conservatives, who have spoken out about social media’s censorship of free speech.

The Media Isn’t Trying to Hide Their Cancel America Bias Anymore

The New York Times is in on the game. It fired an editor for publishing an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) which advocated for deploying the military to US cities in order to help control violent protests. More recently, a Chinese apologist was published – with no cancel culture backlash – who criticized the U.S. for our COVID-19 response.

Teachers are indoctrinating your kids with BLM’s racism

Melissa Statz took it upon herself to teach her fourth grade class that BLM is not only acceptable – it is necessary in order to stop “systemic racism.” When parents became furious at her defense of the violent movement, Statz defended herself, saying, “I think it’s a human rights issue.”

The New York Times’ 1619 Project is one of America’s most historically perverse racial projects. It not only lies about American history; it also masquerades as academic justification for the Cancel America movement.

According to Reilly, the 1619 Project’s inaccuracies include manifestations that simply aren’t true—such as the idea that the American Revolution was fought to preserve slavery. History shows that taxation, the Intolerable Acts and more were the catalysts for the Revolutionary War and, furthermore, “England did not free slaves in her overseas colonies until 1833.”

Reilly takes issue with propagandization of history and reasons, “A coherent education in history and civics must involve studying one’s society neither as blemish-free nor as virtually ‘all warts,’ but rather comprehensively and honestly.”

The “woke” portrayal of American history is indeed “excessively and misleadingly negative” and this negativism ignores the accomplishments of our Civil War to end slavery, our defeat of Nazism, and our development of life-sustaining technologies used around the globe.

But an accurate portrayal of American history would undermine the radical left’s justification for cancelling America. By framing America’s past as irredeemably and “systemically” racist, the 1619 Project provides academic cover the violence waged on American streets by radical groups like Black Lives Matter.

Cancel America’s great lie is the idea that America is not worth defending and to sell this lie the story of America’s goodness must be erased. Clearly, the 1619 Project’s end goal is to create generations who no longer believe America is Good, and will vote accordingly.
