Cancel Culture: The Hypocrisy Of The Republicans

"Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer-winning journalist and developer of the 1619 Project, was appointed to a tenured professorship at UNC-Chapel Hill. This is a position that is funded by the Knight Foundation. However, a board of old white lawyers who happen to be the Trustees of the University, denied Hannah-Jones tenure, against the recommendations of, well... everyone who should matter in the decision-making process. Many people have made bad faith arguments and whataboutisms, but Dr. Lindsey Osterman (tenured professor) is here to give us a real perspective on it."

US Historical Fact Vs Fiction

"Today we take a look at the competing histories fighting for dominance in the minds of Americans; the mythologized and romanticized history as represented by the "patriotic" framing of history from the 1776 Commission report and the much more fact-based approach that doesn't skirt the issue of race from the 1619 Project."

The meme "History is written by the victors" has some truth behind it. However, as societies become more enlightened and science-based, valid minority opinions can and do emerge. In the US presently, this is represented by the 1619 Project. However, like most positive social movements, there is a backlash by the "mainstream" faction in the form of the 1776 Commission.
