When I read the #1619Project, I felt so liberated. This is our history. Things fell into place for me in ways I cannot describe.
We need OUR history, even if our ancestors weren't here when it was going on - yes, Irish people, you too.
Read. Learn. Think. You'll actually feel better.

I’ll always remember the premiere of “A Matter Of Place.”
I asked, “If you had a magic wand, how may we remedy housing discrimination?”
You spoke of education as key. You forged a “Master Key,” if you’ll pardon a colonized moniker. No wonder you’ve been targeted. #1619Project

i grew up in SC and yes, we visited at least 1 plantation (don't remember which). we saw cotton fields, and i remember picking a piece, rice also. history ed was definitely lacking—we got the "states rights" bs. only learned certain things during or post college. #1619project was informative for me.

They’re trying to steal the phrase “Born on the Water”.
If you were able to send letters home, go home to visit and still go home to your native land villages you were *not* “Born on the Water”.

man. if Eric Schmitt's speech to NatCon isn't a sign of the times, i don't know what is
!["America is not a 'universal nation.' ... [American] principles are not abstractions. They are living, breathing things — rooted in a people and embodied in a way of life."
Senator Eric Schmitt got a standing ovation at Nat Con DC for saying America as a nation is the property of a distinct ethnic people.
Americans are a mix of “the most adventurous, the most courageous, the most curious and innovative” of the English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans, who came as settlers and have spent hundreds of years building, fighting, and dying for "a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"We’re a nation of settlers, explorers, and pioneers — born on the ocean waters that carried the first ships to our shores and forged in the crucible of a wild frontier. Our people tamed a continent, built a civilization from the wilderness, and wrote our nation’s name in history.
"Our ancestors were driven here by destiny, possessed by urgent and fiery conviction, by burning belief, devoted to their cause and their God."
"The Continental Army soldiers dying of frostbite at Valley Forge, Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth, pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, [and] outnumbered Kentucky settlers, repelling wave after wave of Indian war band attacks from behind their stockade walls, would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a 'proposition.'
"They believed they were forging a nation — a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations.
"It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny.
"If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing and no one at all."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreif3x7re3lubuj7kzurj3ayotcnq2l46kwb2p5hp2zid2dagzth5nu@jpeg)
