Whether America's Foundation is #1619or1776 ... the 'alternate histories' are #ApplesAndOranges | @NHannahJones @real1776Project @Theidioms @Ecosia @Heritage @Wikipedia @AmericanThinker @AIER @Liberty_Scholar #ApplesToOranges #ApplesWithOranges #Orange

We discuss (and MAKE MONEY) in a forum linked through 'that idiom' below (where I go into 'how that idiom fits,' a little bit); but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)

The idiom “Apples and Oranges” is built on people's frequent attempt to Compare two Incomparable (Incompatible?) things (John Ray's proverb-book used Oysters instead of #Oranges, where the Spanish uses Pears). 

The word "Oranges (\ #Orange #OrangeBlossom #Orangeade #Orangery #OrangePeel #Orangemen #OrangeJuice)" is built on ancient words that mean Orange Tree (the color was given the name because it is "a Reddish-|Yellow like a |Ripe Orange," and similar colors are known as Citrine or Saffron ... the town in France is a variant form of the Fruit's name).

I may not have agreed with The 1619 Project initially, but all these sites against it (and maybe a few sites 'fairly-&-balanced reporting' on it) came up in an initially neutral search:

• Some say TSNP describes America's Founding as the building of a white-supremacists' regime that the next generations need to rise up against in rebellion.
• Some say TSNP ... it doesn't 'conflict with history' so much as it 'presents a perspective that sorta warps one's understanding of history.'
• Some say TSNP can't be as effective as possible because of a few errors in its narrative.
• Some fact-check it some more.
• Some advise that--while the proposal is fascinating--it's not for children (whose brains aren't finished building their basic understanding yet).
