Other than being panned by actual historians I will name a few things.
First the claim we can’t love our country and understand there are bad things about it is false.
George Washington didn't free all his slaves at his death
Putting Slaving as a Challenge to American Principles is also wrong since the country was built on it
They say, Martin Luther King Jr. would disagree with the current social movement or affirmative action. By reading more than the “ I Have A Dream Speech” you will see this is false.
Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Fredrick Douglass praised the Founding Principles, but then went on to say that America was betraying those principles. The 1776 report quote mines both of these men keeping the praise, but leaving out the criticisms (for obvious reasons, since it disproves their case)
Speaking of Fredrick Douglass I have provided the full text the speech they quote mined called “What To The Slave Is The Fourth of July” below.
