So I've just been hearing the rumblings about the 1619 project in New York Times series

of articles and stuff like that.

I can feel the heat sometimes from a story and I decide, you know what, I'm not ready

to wait into that yet.

I feel like I'm going to have to, but I'm just not ready for you.

I've read some of it, but it's come down upon me now.

And according to the editor of the New York Times, the executive editor, he's signaled

that the New York Times is going to pivot from Russia coverage.

You know why?

I'm going to pivot from Russia coverage to focusing on race in the run up to the 2020

election.

Because the Russia coverage wasn't working for boot and trump out.

So they thought maybe race and painting him as a racist would, right?

But the Times also declared it quote aims to reframe the country's history, understanding

1619 as our true founding and placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions

of black Americans at the very center of the story.

We tell ourselves about who we are.

And quote, 1619 being the date of when first started slipping, slaves to North America,

that's our true founding and some of the things that have been said during the conversation

about this in the 1619 project have been quite controversial.

I would say and they are not restricted to that journalism project either.

You hear it all the time.
