Bullshit fantasy magic nigger historical revisionism has never been so absurd.

Northam’s declaration spoke of a newfound self-awareness not just of himself, but also of our nation’s difficult history. Not the sanitized version that puts a smiley face on racism and ignores the lingering power of white supremacy, but the version that recognizes and honors the violence and suffering that went hand in hand with the creation of this great nation.

“If we are going to begin to truly right the wrongs of our four centuries of history, if we are going to turn the light of truth upon them, we have to start with ourselves,” Northam said, according to The Post’s story on the event. “I’ve had to confront some painful truths. ... Among those truths was my own incomplete understanding involving race and equity.”
Thanks to the 1619 Project at the New York Times, that is going to change. “1619,” as folks are calling it, is a massive retelling of the American story with African Americans appropriately at its center. It is the kind of retelling that continues putting the calls for reparations in their proper context and makes the absence of a national apology all the more galling.
