I mean that its obviously factually wrong by thousands of years, but even if u qualify the statement enough to get it closer to what he probably had in mind that it was the first slave revolt in the americas by black slaves against the western european system of slavery its still either factually wrong or hugely disrespectful to the many successful slave revolts that didnt result in a state but "merely" consesions or independent free black communities like the Jamaican Maroons. And at least for me, hearing something so clearly wrong being said distracts from everything else being said and it calls it into question which sucks because as far as i can see the other stuff is great.
