***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Going through Politics Twitter today has been quite an entertaining exercise because half of the posts I can’t tell if half of the ridiculous posts I am coming across are for April Fools jokes or business as usual :lol:

That Black Americans are doing better than they would be had they never been enslaved? Literally no part of the 1619 project says that

that America start as a slave state is big reason for America's current economic dominance.

in my memory that was one of the articles.
 
You would have to strip so much context from both Walsh and 1619, then distort both arguments some more, for that comparison to work

That I don't think it is worth making

America and a country benefiting on a macroeconomic level from slavery and that compounding from time, and every individual citizen benefiting from the institution's existence making history line up in a certain way, are very different arguments even though on paper it seems like there are similarities if you squint and turn the paper sideways

This doesn’t even register to me. I feel like if any black candidate (Democrat or Republican), any color democratic nominee or even a white traditional republican nominee got indicted on 30+ charges that they would tank but here we see Trump taking off. His fanbase and this new era of the Republican are different and it’s actually kind of scary |l

Zero chance you listened to that video clip that was just posted if you’re trying to compare it in any way to the 1619 project because that isn’t close to his argument :lol:

I don’t think that controversial. Clearly the objection is to the wording:

"All of us today would be in a worse spot if slavery never existed"

>All of us
