I wld never argue that the 1619 Project is above critique. It offers a particular framing tht I knew would inspire debate, that'd be hard for some people to accept. I am fine with that. But It's hard when people make bad-faith attacks against the most important work of your life.
That this project would inspire a host of bath-faith attacks was the most predictable thing in the world. This is why so many people take breaks from social media when publishing something big and important. The ensuing backlash just becomes too toxic and too personal.
I should not have given these efforts oxygen by responding to them. I won't anymore. And I apologize to everyone who has embraced this work that I have engaged in this way. You all deserve better from me.
