Number One New York Times Best Seller
A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present.
Named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post • NPR • Marie Claire
In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of 20 to 30 enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States.
The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning “1619 Project” issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work, weaving together 18 essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with 36 poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself.
This is a book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction - and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.

Nothing will change the fact that Africans captured and sold there own race into slavery, in fact it was the British who ended slavery, they actually had to blockade ports to get the the tribes like the Dahomey selling there own race into slavery…
White people didn’t invent slavery…
December 22nd, 2023
Slavery never ended. There’s still a barbaric slave trade around the world. Denmark was actually the first to ban the transatlantic slave trade. The British were for slavery before they were “against” it - they actually profited massively, built their cities, Industrial Revolution, & still-existing fortunes on the backs of their slaves. Thereafter, they richly compensated their jolly slave owners & essentially continued on under the guise of indentured servitude - transporting Indian people to work the plantations in the Caribbean. Even after the formal abolition of slavery, Britain was still prepared to intervene on behalf of the slave-holding Confederate states in the US Civil War, until the fortunes of the Union army began to improve.

straight trash. pathetic rationalization for massive group underperformance. massive cope.
December 23rd, 2023
And what have you achieved Oh Great One, geehan? If you aren’t cracking the secrets of the universe, instead living under a rock in a trailer park, I vote you off the tribe. Merry Xmas!
December 23rd, 2023
The Victim Olympics! May it never end!
December 23rd, 2023
What a dishonest and harmful thing this was.
Full of liars and grifters.
Pathetic and sad
December 23rd, 2023
Remember when white guys used to say that representation on tv and movies didn’t matter?
I wonder what changed.

Caesar, still waiting for an apology on Ukraine.
December 23rd, 2023
Very odd. You must seek your apology from the genocidal, imperialist invader, Putin. However, the innocent Ukrainian men, women & children who were raped, tortured & murdered - and still are, in Putin’s barbaric ongoing war of invasion - they & their grieving families deserve apologies from Putin far more than you, I’m sure you will acknowledge.
December 23rd, 2023
You know Caesar, I am disappointed in you. How bad were you psych oped on covid? And you’ve gone and let happen again.
When you can’t see realities as bold and vivid as human death in the tens of thousands, when that can’t pierce the programming—it’s a problem.
Its not that so much as the horrible names you called me for advocating for peace. Every kind “Putin” slur under the sun. I said at the time that too many people are /going to have died for nothing, and you thought that was just the craziest thing. Now the country looks like Dresden and 170-2?? thousands men and woman are dead.
I was hoping for some modicum of returned rationality, Some semblance of intellectual and moral integrity. You sure love to play up the intellectual. It is not the end of you, to say, I was wrong in hindsight.
well there you are I guess.
December 23rd, 2023
I didn’t ask you to apologize for war crimes. I was wondering if you felt you owed me an apology for things YOU called me.
December 23rd, 2023
You could tell by the title alone that this book would be triggering for right-wing halfwits who don’t actually read books.
December 23rd, 2023
Yes slavery still exists, I should have been more specific, the British and French stopped African tribes from selling there own race into slavery…
December 23rd, 2023
Would you believe the French abolished slavery & then reintroduced it just a few years later? It can be tough to adhere to the old “principles” when they’re that darned flexible.
December 23rd, 2023
COMPLETE DRIVEL. Like Alex Haley “imagined” the movie “Roots” and people act like it is veritas.
December 23rd, 2023
Dear Santa - You want peace? Brilliant! That’s a positive sign, at least. However, you carefully avoid condemning Putin’s barbaric, imperialist invasion; flagrant & systematic violations of human rights; the loosing of his genocidal, neo-nazi forces; the countless rapes, tortures, & murders of innocent Ukrainian men, women & children, which his regime has caused in his invasion of a sovereign neighbouring country (”human death in the tens of thousands”) - a country which had a planned famine inflicted upon it by another Russian regime. So you might not know any history, but Ukrainian people certainly know theirs.
Moreover, at no point do you acknowledge Ukrainian human beings’ right of self-defence.
Putin’s imperial war is unwinnable, but at no point do you suggest that he should withdraw.
And you wonder why anyone would think you support Putin’s murder campaign.
He has only successfully forced even more countries into the NATO alliance - so he’s evil AND stupid.
But you do find time to accuse me of being “psych oped on covid” - whatever the phck that garbled nonsense is supposed to mean.
“I said too many people…died for nothing, & you thought that was the craziest thing” - What on earth are you on about? I condemned Putin’s murders throughout. Have you had a head injury?
I apprised you of the Sudetenlander strategy & the Munich surrender, & you merely blundered on. Condemn Putin’s illegal invasion & human rights abuses. Admit that his murders must stop, and that he ought to withdraw. You don’t need to be an “intellectual” to honestly perceive all of this.
Where then do you demonstrate a modicum of rationality, or a “semblance of intellectual & moral integrity?”

“Sir, I ask you read back what you have written.
I started and ended with a very simple premise: Killing needs to stop.
I understand everyone is outraged. Everyone seems to outraged to think about the needless loss if life.
And let me get this clear for myself: Anyone who is not full-in on the continuation of this war is guilty of being a Russian Shill?
How might one bring up legitimate concern over this war and the human cost?
Do you think had we not supplied massive amounts weapons this conflagration it would still be happening?
It really seems like any criticism of any kind that does not jive with the mainstream narrative is easily put aside by the words you guys seem to utter way too easily.
But what is probably most troubling is you Caesar, one of the most well read and thoughtful individuals on this site, not once actually addressed the loss of life. You spoke to who’s wrong and where the anger should go. Not once did you speak to the massive amounts of Ukrainian lives being thrown away irrespective of right or wrong. You did not speak to absolute destruction of their cities and land.
Please know that I know some of deeply care about what’s happening. Please try to understand that by use continue to supply them with weapons and aid while it is meant to support them it is also allowing the fighting to continue with the greatest losses being exacted from Ukraine. I din’t feel the way I do now at the beginning but I am getting the growing and sickly familiar feeling of being mislead once by same bad actors once again. Should we not be able to look at this critically because at this point that could not seem more unlikely
I think we should be able to talk about this without being accused of working for the enemy.”

I am not going to argue about what I was trying to say then. There it is. Feel free to post your responses, they are not flattering decency-wise.
I think its clear what I was advocating for.
Just maybe if more people in the West had felt that way we may had been able to end the conflict before Ukraine had lost an entire generation of young men and women, had their country completely destroyed, and do so when Ukraine still had a little bargaining power. On top of the all the horrible things Putin has done. Insult to injury.
I have known you vicariously through comments section for years and years and I have thought you have always had incisive and wise insights into things. (when you are not trying so hard with your fancy linguistics that no one can tell what you were trying to say, that is)
I don’t know why you were so blinded on this one topic. I don’t know why you could not see that all the absolutely horrible things Putin has done to the Ukrainians in his war of aggression still did not mean that the West should not have done everything in its power to push for peace.
Israel had brokered a peace negotiation very soon after Russia began to invade and Boris Johnson went over there and told Volodymyr Zelensky not to agree to any peace negotiation. This was done in large part on behest of Western elites and their interests and not the Ukrainian people and not us. They tried very hard to sell us on the insane escalation you were so adamant about. That is the only reason I invoked covid.
I like you Caesar, I have been on this sight for a long time and so have you. I only bothered asking for an apology (in this hyper partisan world) because you have been intellectually honest throughout the years. I didn’t mean to insult you, not then and not now. I feel bad because good people are advocating for things that they would never advocate for (or so I hope), if it were not for the elaborate and deceptive pysops, fifth gen warfare our elites have turned on their own citizens.
Maybe if you go back and read the things you were calling people who were just trying to get points like this out there, when it was very very unpopular and hard to say, you might understand why I asked in the first place. I am so angry at how we have enabled the destruction of these poor people and their country. Prim rose path.
I don’t know what else to say dude

“Killing needs to stop” - Yes, Putin’s imperial invasion must end. He must withdraw from sovereign Ukraine. A straightforward premise indeed, but you must be able to join cause to effect; crucial reasoning which you have thus far failed to demonstrate. But all of this was explained.
“get this clear myself: Anyone not full-in contin of war guilty of being Russ Shill?” - Anyone who does not condemn Putin & the rapes, tortures & unnecessary genocide of an innocent sovereign people, yes.
“How bring up legit concern over war & hum cost?” - Clearly condemn the invader - unequivocally. Stop slithering away from it. That is indecent.
“Do u think had not supplied weapons this conflagration still happening?” - I think if Putin had not launched his imperial invasion, it would not even have begun - as explained.
“any criticism that does not jive w mainstr narrat” - Are you actually denying Putin’s invasion & his brutal continuing of the war? Why?
“not once addressed loss of life, massive amounts Ukrainian lives thrown away, destruct of cities & land” - Why lie? It certainly doesn’t help your case. Here & elsewhere I have consistently condemned Putin’s invasion, his neo-nazi forces, the rapes, tortures & genocide of innocent Ukrainians in Putin’s war. You have failed to do this. You blame the media, not the murderers.
You can read? From above, I observed: “you carefully avoid condemning Putin’s barbaric, imperial invasion; flagrant & systematic violations of human rights; the loosing of his genocidal, neo-nazi forces; the countless rapes, tortures, & murders of innocent Ukrainian men, women & children, which his regime has caused in his invasion of a sovereign neighbouring country - a country which had a planned famine inflicted upon it by another Russian regime. So you might not know any history, but Ukrainian people certainly know theirs.”
There we are, very clear.
“meant to support them it also allowing fighting continue w greatest losses exacted from Ukr” - You fail to recognise Ukraine’s right to self-defence against a brutal invader. A state which starved millions of Ukrainians in the past when they were under its nefarious power. Why do you imagine genocide & repression would stop if Putin was given everything he wanted, like the Munich Surrender?
Do you also believe that everyone ought to have immediately surrendered in 1939? To get it out of the way? Thereby incentivising further despotic invasions & atrocities? The more tyrants are given, the more they want. That’s not so difficult to understand, is it?
Would you deny that you & your people have the right of self-defence? Or should you immediately surrender if attacked, in order to prevent loss of life? And what happens afterwards? You’re intensely naïve & inconsistent. You’re also wholly oblivious of all relevant history, as you in fairness make clear.
Russians are inadequately equipped & poorly motivated, in an unwinnable war. They do not know why they are fighting this imperial war of aggression. Many are deserting & bringing their materiel to the Ukrainian defence forces. Other Russians are avoiding the draft by escaping to Turkey & elsewhere. Putin’s brutal, undemocratic regime allows no free expression, criticism or truth.
What is Putin’s exit strategy? He has trapped himself by becoming inextricably linked to an unwinnable war, which has made him appear intensely weak. His forces were supposed to crush the Ukrainian people in a few short weeks.
No Putin invasion = no war.
Putin’s withdrawal = an end to war.
We don’t have 5th gen psyops here in Ireland, or any military interest. However, we do have many tens of thousands of traumatised, grieving Ukrianian refugees who have had violence forced upon them by Putin’s war of imperialist aggression. Who is next after Ukraine? Or has the resistance of Ukraine’s defenders destroyed Putin’s ambitions of total regional control & hegemony?
I call Putin what he is - & his appalling regime. Why do you fear to do the same?
At no point do you suggest that despotic Putin should withdraw.
Condemn Putin’s illegal invasion & human rights abuses. Admit that his murders must stop, and that he ought to withdraw.

(I condemn Putin’s war of aggression. I condemn the atrocities. I lay the responsibility of this war and the horror it has wrought on the Russians and NATO, fully.)
(Caesar, if you reply, can you please address the questions I am asking you? Here is how you can easily find them*Q)
I don’t know why you cannot get past the things that have happened, regardless of whether they whether they shouldn’t have happened or not. I am speaking of the situation as it stands, to make decisions that affect the future. Please stop arguing in bad faith, continuing to make this about who’s side of this I am truly on. I am on the side of my country’s people. I am American. Please stop pretending that I don’t have a good grasp of history unless you actually believe that, in that case ask what you need to know to move on.
It still sounds as though you are still saying —All the Ukrainians, maybe even the ones who fled to Ireland so they could avoid the war, need to continue to dutifully pack themselves into the meat-grinder because terrible things have happened to them both in the past and now and until Putin decides to withdrawal and apologize.
I condemn Putin’s war of aggression. I condemn the atrocities. I lay the responsibility of this war and the horror it has wrought on the Russians and NATO, fully.
Let me try and distil your argument to its consequence, and so others can see what its distillation looks like: you are of the belief, that what Putin did was so terrible and horrendous and other things that have already happened, ——that every single Ukrainian; the young, the old, need to die in this war. There is simply no other expectable course of action for the Ukrainians, absent the total and incomprehensible capitulation of the winning force.
You feel they must fight unto the last Ukrainian, if Putin doesn’t give up, withdraw, and whatever other atonement you feel is necessary from the Russians.
Similarly, you refuse to address this question of what should be done now, because I have been unable to prove to you the requisite amount of hatred for one side.
*Q) Do you think your hatred of Putin is interfering with your ability to advocate in the best interests of the Ukrainian people?
The average age of the Ukrainian army is now in the mid-forties (years old), and this is the most optimistic reporting I’ve seen, some put it in the 50’s. Since the whole country has been conscripted—
*Q) Can I just ask you: In your delusional outcome for this war, who exactly will be left to enjoy it, to see the glory of Putin’s defeat?
You seem to be very selective of what facts should be factored into this equation.
Maybe you are relying too heavily on certain news sources. A lack diversity in your sources of information may be contributing to your outlook of this conflict. (beyond all things that getting hung by my requisite condemnation)
Here’s an example or is a simple illustration,
if a certain news sources were suffering from an ideological cognitive bias and or operating under a strict narrative that governs what could be reported and what couldn’t be—say in the interests of war hawks and arms manufacturers who want to be careful to convey only certain things —individuals who relied too heavily on that news source for information would also suffer a similar prejudice in their thinking around that topic.
I am glad you’re so confident but that is all 5th generation warfare is, broadly speaking, it is advanced information warfare. Either way, it is a pretty stunning assumption: “We don’t have 5th gen psyops here in Ireland”.
Are you aware:
In the United States it has just been reported that Putin, the monster, has just received the highest approval rating from the Russian people of his political career. Not only that, it was higher than that of any other world leader except Modi.
Military age Ukrainians have fled their country continuously form the onset of this conflict. Some of them have even ended up in your beloved Ireland. Why don’t you ask your new arrivals, those from the ages of 15 to 55, why they decided to leave the country rather than fight for it?
And while I am sure there are always exceptions, I would find it pretty rich if any of them were insisting on the continuation of a war they refused to fights, however, I doubt many of them are saying this.
Irrespective of that, The News here is increasing reporting a general lack of will or want to continue fighting and the everyday people in Ukraine do not see how this war benefits them. This coupled with internal revolts and conflicts between Zelensky and his generals,
*Q) I have to ask you Caesar, who do you think you are advocating for in the first place?
The Russian military has always been very good at slugging it out in this kind of warfare. It hasn’t changed much since the Second Would War, just look at the numbers. The Ukrainian generals have been saying that there is nothing that is going to change the course of this war at this point.
Meaning, Ukraine is not going to win this war.
*Q) Are you seriously advocating that they continue to fight to the death, on principle?
I would be cosmically pissed off if I was forced to the frontlines and died a week, a month, six months before the inevitable end of the war. Why can’t you get over your hatred of Putin enough to think about what is best for the Ukrainian people?
I really hope if you continue to reply you will at least answer the questions I have asked. Otherwise, I am not sure I’d be having a real debate or just forcing a person who cannot admit when they are wrong to continue to say ridiculous things because they don’t know what else to do. You have not really had anything new to say since May and you seem to look for the details to draw illogical conclusions. Feel free to ask me direst questions also.
I am hoping we can set an example for how and why it is crucial that we be able to have debates and discussions. I am sure you have seen how bad things have got on here, where every disagreement ends or immediately devolves into the usual blanket name calling. I am afraid we are turning into very stupid easily led and manipulated people. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you. Merry Christmas Caesar

Get a room, FFS. Stop splurting your interminable personbal arguments over every unrelated book post.

Gweilo, I am so glad you went ahead and inserted yourself into this circle-jerk. Before I ask your thoughts on this matter.
I don’t know if you’ve heard yet, being so early/late in the year, but you ma’am, have won what some consider this site’s most prestigious award for another year running.
This is what, your fifth or sixth year in a row? I couldn’t be prouder of you girlfriend!
It is my believe that there is no one who deserves this title more. You have provided consistently and without equal, the very stupidest, intellectually bankrupt, and yet still, most unoriginal and mean-spirited contributions this sight has likely ever enjoyed.
It is some kind of gift, poetry in motion. How a mere mortal could lack such a level of self-awareness as to animate your pursuits, day after day, year after year, illustrating what can only be called an unprecedented, all-access glimpse into that thing you call a mind and its weak ejaculations that end-up stuck to the walls of our humble ‘comment section’
The immense sucking sound that is the absence of your intellectual grandeur is deafening. And combine all of that with the inordinate amount of petty, vindictive, and all-around smallness of character, that is you and your work here, well—it truly becomes, something to behold.
All these reasons and so much more, makes us proud, here at the audiobookbay, to be able to call you, The Biggest Tool of 2023.
Congratulation Gweilo, I speak for everyone here when I say, no one— deserves this title more than you.
okay, now, tell us what’s on your mind

” Nothing will change the fact that Africans captured and sold there own race into slavery, in fact it was the British who ended slavery, they actually had to blockade ports to get the the tribes like the Dahomey selling there own race into slavery…
White people didn’t invent slavery…”
And nothing will change the fact that white “land of the free” HYPOCRITES sure as hell didn’t waste time taking advantage of the trade with Africans to lazily and selfishly profit allowing it to continue to flourish. In other words…..those “land of the free” HYPOCRITES are just as complicit as those Africans.
Go find another deflection excuse.
