I don't care for the 1619 Project either, but calling it "Un-American Propaganda" is simply untrue. It is, at the very least, an actual analysis of American history, unlike say, the 1776 commission, which actually is Propaganda.

To say it is an actual analysis is to declare that it has some basis in fact, which it clearly does not.

Any talk of "1776" aside (which obviously was formed in reaction to the "1619 Project"), Miss Hannah-Jones is clearly trying to push an agenda, and while it's maybe not one I would call "unpatriotic," it is very obviously one that is anti-white, which is worse.

Wow. Not even trying to hide your true colors anymore, are you?

Do red avs have any attempt at a witty response any more other than "wow, going full mask off" / "showing your true colors" anymore? I guess not. Pretty sad honestly. I defer to Dule's sig.
It’s less witty and more of a polite way of Badger saying you come off as a reactionary bigot

If opposing Afrocentrism is what passes for "reactionary bigotry" these days, then such an accusation has lost all meaning
Of you could just be a bigot 🤷‍♂️

Afrocentrism is literally bigotry by definition.

If opposing that is somehow a form of bigotry itself, I once again repeat all meaning is lost.
Except it isn’t and you insisting it does shows you are a bigot

The actual definition of bigotry from Cambridge that you conveniently cut off is “obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group”

While Afrocentrism is defined as “a scholarly movement that seeks to conduct research and education on global history subjects, from the perspective of historical African peoples and polities”.

So no Afrocentrism is not bigotry in of itself because it’s goal is not the belittling of European/White accomplishment but the promotion of African ones and the fact that you have more disdain for the 1619 projects over the 01/06 terrorist shows your a bigot. As Badger would say good day sir 👋
