@rachelshelden @jmjafrx @TheAtlantic I don't get this claim. My piece cites lots of people who treat the 1619 Project with respect and explicitly note the value of parts of it even as they criticize others. That characterizes the Phillip Magness piece, which I flagged as especially good, as well as my own piece — PolitiTweet.org

@AmethystMimosa In fact my essay explicitly argues for a conception of the founding that does not prioritize white people — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with much of this--lots of the pieces have value, the collection asks us to consider slavery's impact on modern life, lots of beautiful writing, etc.--but that the "true founding" claim is "least interesting" doesn't make it unimportant, as the ed materials underscore. — PolitiTweet.org

You don't have to agree 1619 is the beginning (as I don't), but I actually think that's the least interesting thing… https://t.co/oLbxtg91Ij
