Everyone knows the United States of America was founded on 1776. When the American colonies rebelled against Great Britain and established a sovereign republic based on the principles of Classical Liberalism. However, Nikole Hannah-Jones, founder of the 1619 project a debunked conspiracy theory about America’s history. In a 2,000 word long twitter thread yesterday she stated her beliefs that Martin Luther King Jr. was anti-integration. Never mind the fact that Martin Luther King Jr’s most famous words were “I have a dream that my children will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character and that one day little black boys/ girls will be able to play with little white boys/girls” an inherently pro-integration position.
This sleight of hand wants us all to pretend that after 350 years of legal and explicit race-based categorization and discrimination, that its end half a century ago somehow eliminated the entire societal architecture it created. That's asinine & a way to maintain the status quo.
