Contra below post: the page references the 1619 project as "largely fictional," a flagrant case of bias on behalf of the editor of the page. Despite legitimate dispute over some of the content of the 1619 project, nobody, including the historians subsequently cited on the page, would claim the 1619 project is "largely fictional." This ought to be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:184:C400:12E6:C5FF:2717:993E:166C (talk) 16:15, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The part article that discusses the 1619 project is heavily biased in favor of said project heaping praise on it and repeating it’s spin completely uncritically while treating it’s critics with with extreme skepticism if not downright contempt. 2601:405:4A80:B950:F165:7689:7C2D:B146 (talk) 16:31, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
