On the Idiot from the 1619 Project Claiming that America Was Colonized Mainly to Establish a Safe-Haven for Slavery (Everything Is About Slavery These Days, Have You Noticed?)
First off, in 1619 you really didn't need a safe-haven for slavery in that it was pretty much accepted everywhere (including in America where the Native-Americans practiced it brutally) and if you really, REALLY, wanted a safe place for it you would have gone to Africa where everybody was either a slave or a slave-owner. But even beyond that you have to accept the fact that colonization is a universal tendency not just amongst humans (the Slavs, the Goths, the Saxons, the Vandals, the Seljuk Turks, and, yes, the Zulus, too) but all throughout the animal kingdom......and so to proclaim that this one population (those big, bad, nasty white Europeans) had an especially venal purpose behind their motivations to migrate strikes me as just more white-hating but, please, go ahead and read her treatise and make up your own mind.
