I'm not emotionally invested in anything here. I care so much about the 1619 Project that I haven't bothered to read it.
Will Wilkerson's "On The Defensive Prickliness of Anti-Woke Patriotism" basically has your number.

I only read the first few paragraphs of Wilkerson's essay, since that is what we're doing here, but he did indeed get Sebby's number.
