Ok. Does that somehow make America’s history of slavery OK to you???
Did you or anyone you know have anything to do with slavery in America? No? Then why spend any energy on it?
It has been outlawed for over 150 years here. There's nothing you or I can do about it. It happened. It was horrible. It is well past time to move on from it.
But for some reason, a certain sect of the population want to blame every problem this country has on something that has been illegal for 155 years.

No it shows how much the country has changed since the democrats Jim crow era.
And that people aren't oppressed in this country. people relating their jobs to modern day slavery when actual slavery exists.
But instead of this being talked about, it's about selfies at the capitol or some dumb girl telling a country how to spend its tax payers money.

I'll never understand why people are so defensive about teaching nuanced American history. Criticizing institutions like slavery and the genocide of native Americans is an important component to being an informed American citizen.
No one is saying that. And what history curriculum doesn’t teach slavery, the trail of tears, and other difficult topics in American history?
The 1619 project is focused on erasing - “cancelling” - important figures in American history because they were complicit in a system that was used for racism. It ignores the nuance and instead indoctrinates that no matter the historical context, any direct or indirect connection to immoral acts nullifies their contribution.

Maybe it is because a political segment wants to use it as a divisive tool and another segment wants to use it as a crutch to blame failures on?
If the nation is divided then the Democrats have a near monolithic voting block they can count on in elections. Don’t think is is funny that racism is hyped every 4 years and then suddenly leaves the headlines?
The Racism Industrial Complex uses the white supremacy boogeyman to explain away why “minorities” can’t excel in the United States. However, some simple analysis shows that this is a huge fallacy. If the USA was such a racist country then how can immigrants from Asia excel better than Caucasians? Why would first generation African immigrants excel much higher than AA’s that have been here for centuries. They try to explain this away with complex flawed logic of generational strife. However once again this is proved false by the works of Thomas Sowell. So until the AA leadership helps their citizens takes responsibility nothing will change for the better.

This is a very true statement. In fact I would take it one step further that the 1619 Project is a tool to rewrite history in such a way that it becomes a work of fiction to implement their flawed agenda. They do not want equality but rather equality of outcome.

This will never be spouted in the news media because it’s against the reparations agenda.

It’s a legit point. All this bullshite about people negatively affected by slavery over 150 years ago care not one whit about slavery TODAY in Africa and China.
I hasten to point out that the 388,000 slaves shipped to North America bred more slaves. So the North America slavery consisted of far more than that.

What a shame there aren’t votes to be had from that injustice or else you’d hear a lot about it.

That doesn't mean anything. Just fall into line. Repeat after me, we are a bad country. We are a bad country. We are a bad country. Five hundred times a day, six days a week. Rest on the seventh.

Oh, and the fact that those people had children for generations over hundreds of years after arriving- all who suffered under slavery.
And the flip side is all those slaves and their ancestors benefited greatly by being taken out of Africa and sent to North America. In fact, maybe the Afros today should be paying reparations to the white man. Where's the gratitude for bringing them out of Africa?

Agreed but the OP does not mention the 1619 Project. It uses fake history in a way that is magnitudes worse and justifies Leftist ideology like the 1619 Project.
If you ignore the fact that slaves were largely bred and traded internally, with numbers exponentially larger than those imported directly from Africa earlier on, you are just as bad, if not worse, than those propagandists.
It is either massive ignorance or severe dishonesty.
2 fake histories fo not equal accurate history.

The actual original post was focused on the slave trade from Africa to New World between 1525 and 1866 and current slavery in Africa (or as of 2019 date of articles). The subject mentioned colonial America without a number compared to current day Africa, but since around civil war there was around 4 million slaves in US i am guessing colonial numbers were lower and definitely lower than 9.2 million as stated as being in Africa.
Are those numbers fake?

Yes. If the intent is to imply that the number of slaves imported from Africa somehow equates to slavery in the US.
If his intent was to limit it to Africans imported during colonial times, then it's a stupid point that has no bearing on anything (the domestic slave trade lasted until 1865 and the numbers of slaves were exponentially larger than implied)
It is using "facts" to "prove" things that are not true, ie exactly what Leftists do.
1619 Project is an affront to the foundational values of this great country. Using the same sort of horseshite tactics to push counter propaganda is equally abusive to our Founders.

Deal with facts in post not trying to interpret intent.
Were his numbers wrong or fake history as you stated they were?
Below is what i asked and you went off on a tangent about intent.
