We Must Say No to the 1619 Project in Schools
American Thinker.com ^ | August 22, 2019 | Lloyd Marcus

In 1967, I was a black 18-year-old from the Baltimore ghetto who was a freshman at the prestigious Maryland Institute College of Art. Progressives are tripling-down on infecting youths with their insidiously evil lie that all American white men are racist. And yet, I was a poor black kid attending college thanks to scholarships from two white senators and white Baltimore mayor William Donald Schaefer.

A required course was, “The History of Ideas.” The first day of class, the professor passionately trashed Christianity, America, and President Abraham Lincoln. I felt like my head would explode as the professor crushed every tenet of my Christian upbringing and reasons why I loved my country.

My dad was assistant pastor of a storefront church and a Baltimore City firefighter. My mom worked as a domestic, cleaning and ironing for white people. I thought, “Surely, my professor is much more knowledgeable than my unsophisticated parents.” Yes, I was a naive idiot.

By the way, both my parents were excellent at their jobs. By their example, all five of us kids strive for excellence. “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men.” Colossians 3:23

Fast forward to today. Far too many youths are anti-American zombies infected via public education; sleeper-cells ready to attack their parents when commanded by progressives. Remember when Michelle Obama instructed students to monitor family discussions for what progressives deemed racist and discriminatory comments? Transforming our kids into stealth operatives, progressives instructed students to steal their parents' guns and turn them over to their teacher.

Think Khmer Rouge, Pathet Lao, Viet Cong, and any other communist subversive organization.

This is what they do.

The Fraud was the biggest racist our country has seen, and our domestic enemies KNOW they are at war against America, and all for which we stand.

Yep.. During Obama's first run for the presidency, he wasted no time setting race relations back 60 years.
I can't wait for the day Truth be told.. and the entire world recognizes the real racists are on the Left.

In times of turmoil, our enemies have always underestimated America’s resilience and ability to pull together and confront the crisis.

I’m not so sure about the Americans of today. I’m my discussions with immigrants, they truly live this country. I’ve had illegal immigrants say that they would give their life fighting for the country as they are fighting for their children’s future.

It’s the liberal self worshippers that concern me. However, if Sun Tzu could turn the king’s soft, protected concubines into tough warriors, we can too.

I record a podcast on Southeast Asian history, and in the latest episode I introduced the Viet Cong. Now I’ll have to find a way to connect the sleeper-cells of the past with the ones around today.

The left cannot function without someone to hate. It is crucial to its take-over to be able to identify a target for the daily hate. And naturally the Party finds it easiest to start building hatreds and warping minds while they’re still young.

They’re about 3 decades too late.

This crap started to be preached in schools in the mid-80’s. Around the time the ink dried on Howard Zinn’s manuscript.

A podcast on the communist Khmer Rouge and Pathet Lao should probably be on your “to do” list.

They used brainwashed kids as soldiers. This is what the Left does.

They kill. It’s the only thing they’re good at.

Thank you! Excellent Marcus summary of those who fit Isaiah's words:
Isaiah 5:20-21: 20) "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."

21) "Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."

As a proud and grateful American who happens to be black, I find the New York Times' 1619 Project absurd, extremely divisive, cruel, and evil. Slavery in America ended 152 years ago. The Times, Cory Booker, and his fellow Democrat presidential candidates claiming that blacks are still suffering the effects of slavery is demonically exploitative and manipulative. Their evil lie weakens black Americans rather than empowering them.

Starting soon on my www.wildworldofhistory.com is a new series called the “1620 Default”.

It is based on the “Pillars of American Exceptionalism” and their origins in 1620 Plymouth colony, NOT in the ridiculous notion that slavery tainted everything. There were no slaves in Plymouth.

And we were not in the least surprised, were we? Why were we not surprised?

Because, for the last 50 years, the black man in America has discovered that the more he can whine, moan, complain and accuse, it translates into profit. Profit in career, profit in free stuff, profit in Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free cards. Profit in ...............

The only upside to muslims and/or messycans ultimately taking control over America will be that they are sick to death of black extortion.

We should be, but crackers B stupid!

Ironically it took the North Vietnamese to overthrow the Khmer Rouge.

And to their credit, Vietnam, pretty much abandoned Communism by 1986, even though they remain a one-party State.

They used brainwashed kids as soldiers. This is what the Left does

Their parents as well. Back in the early '90s some Shah Iranian friends lent me a video of Australian medics working in Iran after the Iraq-Iran war.

They were trying to fix up the facial scars of kids the Khomeini sent to war. Their parents were so whipped up on martyring their 8-12-year-olds, they answered his call for volunteers and sent them off.

He sent those kids in ahead of the infantry, waving their little green books and tripping land mines as they charged. A lot were the German-type "ping" mines that once tripped, popped up and then blew shrapnel/ball bearings about waist high to a man. The kids being shorter, caught the full blast in the face. The ones who survived were blinded and/or horribly scarred.

The ones who were now in their teens were complaining that they couldn't get married as no woman wanted a scarred/blind husband.

One of the Aussies was looking over a kid, telling his dad "We can stop the drooling, but that is all" when a grandfather brought in his blind son. He told the medics he was willing to give his eyes for the kid, as "I was told you in the West could do this." When told "No", you could see his face drop as he realized what a fool he had been.
