4 Facts That Prove the '1619 Project' Is a Total Farce - By Eddie L. Hyatt - Backed by federal and corporate funding, the New York Times' "1619 Project" is being implemented in public schools and corporate settings throughout America. This is tragic for this teaching is producing a generation that despises and hates America. Proponents are using this twisted history to groom a generation for the fundamental transformation of America into a socialist/Marxist state. The "1619 Project" claims that 1619, when the first African slaves were brought to this land, was the true founding of America, not 1776. According to this narrative, America's founders were evil slaveholders who founded the country to protect slavery and their own wealth. America was forever defined by slavery and is racist and corrupt at its very core. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who spent eight years in a Soviet labor camp, said, "To destroy a people you must first sever their roots." This is the goal of the "1619 Project"—to destroy the America of Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Lincoln and King. They are doing this by rewriting America's history and severing her from her roots of faith and freedom. Slavery is certainly a blight on America's history, but the 1619 narrative is a distortion of the facts. Here are four simple facts that show the "1619 Project" to be a total farce. (See link for details on each Fact.)

...Fact No. 1 – Slavery Was Not Unique to America. ...

...Fact No. 2 – America's Founders Turned Against Slavery. ...

...Fact No. 3 – America's Founding Documents Are Colorblind. ...

...Fact No. 4 – The Testimony of Frederick Douglass and Dr. King ..

"Equity" Is Not Equality - It's Revenge - By Will Alexander - ...There's so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create menacing white racist devils that do not exist: "white privilege," "systemic racism," and "white supremacy." It's so infuriating because "some people still want to do that" is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds. A new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good reason, in the name of achieving racial "equity." ...Yet the fight for so-called racial equity has nothing to do with real justice. Stripped of distortions and theatrics, equity is fueled by the same primitive stuff that drives all blood feuds: tribalism, hatred, revenge, and violence. Wicked politicians use the sins of older generations to get and keep power while angry blacks, clinging to old hatreds, seethe for revenge.  Biden's new diktat, in effect, institutionalized a vendetta.  

Biden Injects DEI Racism Into Federal Government - By Thomas Gallatin - Another executive order instructs federal agencies to meet new equity goals that sound a whole lot like something out of Communist China. ...In signing his latest order, Biden dropped that neo-Marxist code word "equity." The goal is to provide "equitable outcomes" for all Americans, he told us. Then, using the Left's intersectional hierarchy, he pointed to the usual "underserved minority communities." Biden's order directs executive agencies to create "equity teams" whose goal will be meeting Biden's race goals by "delivering equitable outcomes, to the extent consistent with applicable law." The White House will also create a new steering committee to "coordinate Government-wide efforts to advance equity.' ...It is clear that all this 'equity" is nothing more than an excuse for the federal government to exercise greater control of Americans' lives and wealth in order to redistribute toward favored interest groups, all for the purpose of growing Washington's political power. The reason today's Democrat Party has become obsessed with racism has everything to do with advancing political power. America's past history of racism, a history that one party is primarily responsible for promulgating, has been weaponized by hard-left Democrats to pound today's populace that has for the most part overcome racism into embracing 'equity,' which is simply racism repackaged to target whites rather than blacks.

Race Politics & the "BIG SWITCH" from INTIMIDATION to ENTITLEMENT with LBJ's Great Society Welfare State - ...In 1857, the Supreme Court, with 7 of the 9 Justices being Democrat, decided that Dred Scott was not a citizen, but property. ...Once Southern Democrats were forced to free their slaves, they attempted to re-enslave them by passing Black Codes. These required former slaves to be "apprenticed" to "employers" and be punished if they left.

   ...On November 22, 1865, Republicans denounced Democrats for enacting Black Codes as they institutionalized discrimination. On February 5, 1866, Republican Congressman Thaddeus Stevens introduced legislation to give former slaves "40 acres and a mule." Democrats opposed it, led by President Andrew Johnson. On April 9, 1866, Republicans in Congress overrode President Johnson's veto and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, conferring rights of citizenship on freed slaves.

   ...To force Southern States to extend the rights of State citizenship to former slaves, Republicans passed the 14TH AMENDMENT, May 10, 1866, in the U.S. House, and June 8, 1866, in the U.S. Senate. One hundred percent of Democrats voted against it. ...Along with Jim Crow laws, Southern Democrats attempted to keep former slaves from voting. On January 8, 1867, Republicans granted voting rights to former slaves in the District of Columbia by overriding President Andrew Johnson's veto.

   ...The 15TH AMENDMENT, granting the right to vote to all men regardless of race was passed February 3, 1870, overcoming 97 percent Democrat opposition. ...Once Southern Democrats could no longer keep former slaves from voting, they attempted to intimidate them through Antifa-type KKK vigilante mobs and terrorist lynchings. ...Democrats in the South called the white Republicans "radicals," and lynched them along with blacks. The Tuskegee Institute recorded that from 1882-1968, there were 4,743 documented lynchings: 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites -- the whites being "radical" Republicans who were caught registering freed blacks to vote.

   ...Dinesh D'Sousa pointed out (The Independent Whig, Sept. 1, 2016): "More Republicans proportionally voted for that Civil Rights Act in '64, and the Voting Rights Act in '65, and the fair housing bill in '68, than Democrats did." Lyndon Johnson immediately followed this up by introducing his Great Society entitlement welfare programs -- a Cloward-Piven strategy to backdoor the country into socialistic dependency.

   ...From the Civil War to Lyndon Johnson, Southern Democrats utilized the negative motivation of intimidation to keep African Americas from voting. But as television and media reporting revealed the horrors of these intimidation tactics, it was bad press for the Democrat Party. Political strategists proposed a different tactic to control minority voters, namely, switching from "intimidation" to "entitlement." ...In other words, instead of suppressing the African American vote through intimidation, the African American vote could be controlled through dependency on entitlement programs.

   ...According to Ronald Kessler's book, Inside The White House (1996), Lyndon Johnson, who had a reputation for vulgarity in private conversations, explained his BIG SWITCH strategy change from intimidation to entitlement to two Democrat governors aboard Air Force One, saying: "I'll have those n****rs voting Democratic for the next 200 years." ...Lyndon Johnson's Great Society Welfare State proceeded to enroll large numbers of minorities into entitlement programs. ...Democrat social workers overcame this initial opposition from those "too proud" to take a hand out, and enrolled increasingly larger numbers. This gradually led to a cultural shift of generational dependency, and with it, a strong tendency for recipients to vote for Democrat candidates who promised more hand outs. In other words: more dependents translates into more votes.

Democrat Historical Evidence on Opposing Civil Rights  

THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PragerU) When you think of civil rights, who comes to mind: the Democrats or the Republicans? Most people would answer, "Democrats." Most people would be wrong. As shown by Carol Swain, professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt University, the Democrats voted against the 13th Amendment, which freed the slaves, and the 15th Amendment, which gave them the right to vote. The party would prefer that you don't know its dark 200-year history. But you can watch our new video to find out. 1857 Dred Scott V. Sanford: 7 Democrat Justices voted Yea, the 2 Republican Justices voted Nay. Eric Foner, Professor of History Columbia University: "In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party." Woodrow Wilson (Democrat) shared views with the Klan and re-segregated Federal agencies. After loosing Civil Rights votes, Democrats came up with a new plan. Lyndon Johnson (Democrat) stated, "I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years, as he confided with two like-minded governors on Air Force One regarding his underlying intentions for the "Great Society" programs. Thus began massive Government Welfare, Democrats opposing School Choice, and politically correct policing that left black neighborhoods defenseless against violent crime. 

In 1854, Wisconsin citizens met in a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin, to form what would become the Republican Party. The original 1856 Republican platform was: "Resolved ... it is both the right and the imperative duty of Congress to prohibit in the Territories those twin relics of barbarism -- Polygamy and Slavery." One of the founders of the Republican Party was U.S. Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts. In 1841, he argued before the Massachusetts Supreme Court, Roberts v. Boston, to end racial segregation in schools. His efforts eventually led the Massachusetts Legislature to integrate schools in 1855. When the Democrat Party pushed through the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, Senator Sumner gave a three hour speech condemning it. When the Kansas-Nebraska Act, promoted by Democrat Senator Stephen Douglas and Democrat Congressman Andrew Butler, passed in 1856, Sumner denounced it, accusing Democrats of having a "mistress ... the harlot, Slavery."

   On May 22, 1856, Andrew Butler's cousin, Democrat Congressman Preston Brooks approached Charles Sumner as he sat at his desk in the Senate chamber and struck him with a thick gutta-percha cane with a gold head. Brooks continued to beat Charles Sumner till his desk, which had been bolted to the floor, was knocked over. Blinded by his own blood, Sumner attempted to get up and stagger away down the aisle, but Brooks kept striking him. When other Senators tried to rescue Sumner, Democrat Congressman Laurence Keitt brandished a pistol. Finally, Brook's gutta-percha cane broke and Sumner lay motionless on the floor. ...Charles Sumner died MARCH 11, 1874, having never fully recovered from his injuries.

   ...After the Civil War, slavery was ended when Republicans pushed through the 13th Amendment, but Southern Democrat continued to discriminate against freed slaves. Republicans passed the 14th Amendment in 1868 to force States to give rights to freed slaves. In 1870, Republicans passed the 15th Amendment in 1870, to prohibit Democrats from intimidating blacks at polling places. In the 1960s, under LBJ, Democrats did the big switch from "intimidation" to "entitlement," as a way to control minority voters through the Great Society Welfare State entitlement programs.

How Blacks Became Politica Slaves to Democrats - By Gary DeMar ...Caring for the poor is now the domain of civil government. They've traded one plantation for the "liberal plantation" run by the Democrat Party. Former sheriff David Clarke makes this important point: "Look, the mainstream media, the liberal mainstream media, refuses to tell and write the stories and the op-eds to inform blacks that after 60 years of enslavement under Democrat control, their lives have not gotten better. This liberal mainstream media continues, not to tell the story that under the first black president, the standard of living of blacks has not gotten better. Poverty has worsened, the schools have gotten worse. They can't find meaningful work."

   Several black "leaders" (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt. Jesse Jackson has been shaking down corporations with the scam for decades. Booker T. Washington (1865-1915) warned of such people within the black community in his 1911 book "My Larger Education."

   ...The Democrat Party has been using Black people for decades. ltra-Leftist Elie Mysta is describing his own political party. In fact, Mystal is the one who constantly uses black people as victims to empower a political party that has kept black people under its thumb, buying them off with programs that keep them dependent on the government.

When It Comes to Helping Black Kids, Our Leaders Are All Talk, No Action - By Armstrong Williams - ...I am saddened by the fact that God created all of those young men with the aptitude and intelligence to accomplish extraordinary feats, but that so many will fail to see it because their circumstances prevent it. ...Black political leaders have failed the Black community. They have concentrated so much on existential racial issues that they have neglected the very real misery that many Black people confront on a day-to-day basis. ...Strong families with a strong sense of community, individual pride, and access to a real education and opportunities will be the driving forces of change in these environments. ... In our nation, every child is born free and has the God-given, unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But are they really free if they are born into an environment that deprives them of their rights before they ever get a chance to exercise them? Are we ready to say that it is acceptable for Black children to be deprived of life, liberty and happiness?

Not Black vs. White but Republican vs. Democrat ...In 1850, the Democrat-controlled U.S. Congress passed the infamous Fugitive Slave Act, signed by Democrat President Millard Fillmore. This mandated that if a runaway slave escaped to the North, the Federal government demanded citizens obey a Federal Law to capture him and return him to his Southern slave owner. It was pushed through by Democrat politicians Speaker Howell Cobb and Senate President William King. The Fugitive Slave Act put the slavery issue squarely in the face of the anti-slavery North, whereas before it was considered mainly as an issue occurring on Southern plantations. The Fugitive Slave Law imposed severe penalties on those who aided escaped slaves with food or shelter in their passage to freedom in Michigan or Canada. It also made it a federal crime to interfere with the slave catchers' recovery of runaway slaves. A person could be held criminally liable, fined $1,000 and imprisoned for six months if they failed to report a neighbor suspected of helping slaves. The Fugitive Slave Law intensified sectional animosity, provoking the Civil War. It required citizens who were against slavery to violate their consciences and affirm slavery, and even engage in enforcing it.

   ...Burgess Owens was quoted in Yahoo Sports, June 19, 2019, "Former NFL player on reparations: 'How about the Democratic Party pay'": "(On) the concept of reparations ... Burgess Owens, formerly of the Jets and Raiders, spoke during hearings for H.R. 40 ... 'I used to be a Democrat until I did my history and found the misery that party brought to my race ... Let's pay restitution. How about the Democratic Party pay for all the misery brought to my race?'"

Democrat Attempts To Call Republicans Racists

VICTIMOLOGY: Allen West's presence traumatizes hateful 'blacks' - Exclusive: Mychal Massie blasts university protesters riled by pro-America speech ...The truth these people are loath to accept is that what they really suffer from has nothing to do with the fallacious idea that America is racist and committed to oppressing the so-called black man. What they suffer from is a satanic variant of solipsism, i.e., an extreme form of egocentrism intended to focus attention on self so as to garner pity and guilt-based accouterments viewed as entitlements based upon the myth of societal inequality.

Bob Woodson: Democrats Blame Racism To Deflect Attention From Failures Of Cities They've Run For 50 Years - By Tim Hains "In the past 50 years, $22 trillion has been spent on poverty programs. Seventy percent goes not to the poor but those who serve poor people," he said. "So many of those people taking office use this money to create a class of people who are running these cities, and now after 50 years of liberal Democrats running the inner cities, where we have all of these inequities that we have, race is being used as a ruse, as a means of deflecting attention away from critical questions such as why are poor blacks failing in systems run by their own people?" "It's more class than it is race ... and now race is being used to deflect attention away from the failures of people running those institutions," he added.
