Thank you for sharing this wonderful conversation. I'm a big fan of Nikole Hannah-Jones.
She is the Voice of the moment! NHJ is a new kind of MLK? History will be kinder to her and her work, than the moment is. Thank you Nicole Hannah-Jones!
I love this discussion. She is the intellectual we need for our time.
Fantastic conversation. And agree with everything.
💥An Absolutely Sensational Conversation!! I Wish it had More Views, folks really need to hear this…
The DEMOCRATIC Party was founded by slave owners. In his book "Negro President - Jefferson and the Slave Power," Pulitzer Prize winning historian Garry Wills writes that party founder Thomas Jefferson and his fellow Democratic Party politicians had a political "indebtedness to the slavemasters." Wills notes that while "everyone recognizes that Jefferson depended on slaves for his economic existence, fewer reflect that he depended on them for his political existence. Yet the latter was the all-important guardian of the former."
a democrat huckster, she has no facts - - - Examples of Democrat racism
1857: Democrat Supreme Court justices ruled that slaves are not citizens and could not expect protection from the federal government. The final tally was 7-2, the only votes in favor of the slave were Republicans, all of the the votes against the slave were Democrats.
1863: Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation stated that all slaves were now to be free. Lincoln was assassinated 6 days after the Civil War by a Democrat named John Wilkes Booth.
1864-1869: Amendments 13-15; outlawed slavery (Amendment 1), made citizens of people who were born in the US, protected all citizens from unfair treatment by the states (Amendment 2) and protected citizens right to vote regardless of race and color (Amendment 3). All of the votes, House and Senate, including revisions, were split down party lines- Republicans in favor of, Democrats against.
1865: The Black Codes, created by the Democrats, these codes prevented blacks from things like owning businesses, owning property and voting.
1866: The KKK, another Democrat creation, formed as a "military like" presence to combat radical Republicans, enforce black codes and terrorize anyone who opposed their ideology (sound familiar).
1870's-1965: Jim Crow Laws, created by progressive[11] Democrats, basically a continuation of the Black Codes. Included segregation and played a part in restricting jobs and education.
1860s-1930s: Lynchings, used by the KKK in the South and the working-class Irish in the North as a way to strike fear into the hearts and minds of mainly black Americans and others who opposed their ideology.
1871: The Enforcement Act, not one Democrat voted for this bill that would punish violence perpetrated by the KKK. The bill did pass, however President Cleveland (another Democrat) repealed most of the bill roughly 15 years later.
1918-22: Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill did eventually pass but was filibustered by Democrats.
1938: New Deal FHA housing discrimination laws.
1938: Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt appointment and the Democrat Senate's approval of Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Hugo Black to the Supreme Court.
1941: Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt appointment and the Democrat Senate's approval of segregationist James F. Byrnes to the Supreme Court.
1960: Civil Rights Act, set forth for voter protection, disapproved mostly by Democrats.
1964: Civil Rights Act, would end discrimination regardless of race, sex and religion, also provided more voter protection. Roughly 33% of Democrats voted against compared to roughly 19% of Republicans who voted against. Democrats also filibustered for 60 days.
1963-69: Lyndon Johnson, he was quoted as saying "I'll have them n*ggers voting Democrat for 200 years" around the same time that he passed his infamous "Great Society" bills, which consisted of welfare, assisted housing and other programs of that nature. We'll discuss the "Great Society" and it's harm to mainly black Americans but also to poor folks of every color a little later.
@@jb-vb8unyou know some people may think you're a fool then you open up your mouth and prove them right!
@@jb-vb8un1928 The White Society decided to infiltrate the Republican party going from the Democrats to the Rep😂ublican to kick the blacks out of it!
@@irenesheppard4268 STILL riding the 1619 NO FACTS train ?? here are some FACTS, pal - - - The DEMOCRAT Party was founded by slave owners. In his book "Negro President - Jefferson and the Slave Power," Pulitzer Prize winning historian Garry Wills writes that party founder Thomas Jefferson and his fellow Democratic Party politicians had a political "indebtedness to the slavemasters." Wills notes that while "everyone recognizes that Jefferson depended on slaves for his economic existence, fewer reflect that he depended on them for his political existence. Yet the latter was the all-important guardian of the former."
The party’s first six political platforms from 1840-1860 supported slavery.
Seven Democratic presidents owned slaves.
Democrats in Congress opposed the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery, the 14th amendment that gave Blacks due process and the 15th Amendment that gave them the right to vote.
This is enlightening, informative and a fantastic interview!
As a white person, I'm thankful for your explanation of systemic racism. Not many whites understand this, and we should.
I would add that "whiteness" depends on not seeing.
@@kevinharrison3265 huh?
7 million slaves are owned by black n brown people in Africa in 2024
well some people when they hear the truth they can't believe it@@roberthofer8746
Brilliant elucidation of the foundational core of racism in the US and what it has produced in the present-day racial disparities. This is important work that may be more appreciated many years later.
She lays out all the questions concerning the 1619 project. This needs to be seen On the RNN.
she omits all facts - - -The infamous Dred Scott decision (blacks were property) in 1857 was a Supreme Court vote of 7 DEMOCRAT justices for, and 2 Republican justices against. By 1900, more than 20 black Republicans had served in Congress. Democrats did not elect a single black congressman until 1935. And every black senator until 1979 was a Republican. When federal troops withdrew from the South after reconstruction ended, DEMOCRAT’s white supremacy laws re-emerged with a vengeance enforced by the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party, the KKK, which was used to suppress blacks from voting Republican.
DEMOCRATS are also the party of abortion. Planned Parenthood, founded by eugenics racist Margaret Sanger was created to eliminate the “undesirables” and that continues today where there are more abortions in NYC of black babies than are born.
DEMOCRAT Woodrow Wilson re-segregated many federal agencies and screened the racist film Birth of a Nation at the White House. Democrat FDR refused to invite four-time gold medalist Jessie Owen (a staunch Republican) to the White House (only invited white athletes) and interned 120,000 Japanese Americans. Eisenhower re- integrated the military and forced the integration of schools in Little Rock against the wishes of Democrat governor Orval Faubus. The racist Democrat LBJ started the welfare state and said “I’ll have those n#@!rs voting Democrat for the next 200 years,” highlighting the fact that Democrats care about black votes but not blacks. The welfare state has decimated the black family with 77 percent of children growing up fatherless. JFK first mentioned Affirmative Action in 1961 but it was Nixon who passed it in 1971.
She's amazing
The most realistic way to look at it and the most effective way to approach it if America has the will to change America for better. Up to now, it is a country wealthy and peaceful for all Not of African origin, NOT black.
Thank you for this sut in.
The Raw and unfiltered TRUTH!!!
The DEMOCRAT party’s first six political platforms from 1840-1860 supported slavery.
Seven Democratic presidents owned slaves.
Democrats in Congress opposed the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery, the 14th amendment that gave Blacks due process and the 15th Amendment that gave them the right to vote.
What truth? Her work is fictional not historic
@@edwinamendelssohn5129 Agreed, her work is bullshit.
@@edwinamendelssohn5129 and of course, ya present no examples or evidence - - - Documentary filmmaker Sixx King is black and he's tired of black-on-black violence so he wanted to do something proactive to make a statement.
So he put on a KKK outfit with a white hood and stood in public in Philadelphia to draw attention to an issue that the black community has not been able to solve - black men killing black men at record numbers.
This is not just a Philadelphia problem, this is a problem in most large urban populations. Last year, Chicago reported more than 500 homicides, and most involved black men killed by black men.
In Milwaukee County, of the 101 homicide victims in 2012, 71 were black males, according to the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office.
King, 35, is tired and I am, too. While wearing the costume, he had a sign saying that black violence kills more blacks than the Klan ever has. Sixx said in 2011 more than 7,000 black people were killed; he said the KKK killed 3,446 blacks in 86 years.
Black-on-black murders surpass the number of people killed by the KKK every six months.
I know a number of blacks and some whites who will find what King did offensive. I understand that, but ask yourself this question: What do you see black politicians doing about the issue? I mostly hear crickets.
Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton said last year that he was appalled by the silence and lack of outrage after several MPS students were killed.
King is bringing awareness to the black hypocrisy of being complacent when we know we have a problem and we are doing little to address it. We can talk about jobs all we want, and yes, high unemployment is a problem. But blacks have been poor for a long time and we didn't kill each other at the rate that we are doing now.
This is not a gun problem; this is a societal problem that needs to be addressed, and our black leaders, churches, families, youth and schools should be demanding change.
@@jb-vb8unyou can't pick and choose which story of history you want to tell. The story of slavery isn't about one party. Black people were enslaved from 1619 in the country that would become America.
When America became a nation, slavery still exists for Black enslaved. The first ten Presidents out of 12 from slave holding Virginia and they all owned enslaved people except the Adams.
The 13th amendment comes about because 700,000 men fought over the right to own people. The 13th comes with a catch. It free the country from slavery, but allow the country to practice slavery through our prison system. The only time that the WORD SLAVERY appears in the U.S. Constitution. The start of a new kind of slavery for the formerly enslaved. After 12 years of making sure that the South would behave. The Federal Government withdrawals from the South. The country goes to a new form of government for Black people, SEGREGATION OR APARTHEID for almost 100 years. Please tell me how many Republican Presidents from 1877 to 1970, could have stop the inhumane treatment of It's Black people?
See, how this game is played.
This isn't about blaming people. This is about how a country found on principle of, " ALL men are created equal.. or We the people..." could do the inhumane things to God's people for 350 years out of 404 years. All Black people ask that America accept what done and no more. To this day it is what Black Americans have not done to help theirselves.
Through it all they answer the call to fight for an ungrateful nation.
But, yet they served because of those words that the slaveowning Found Father's put on paper, but didn't believe.
Dr. King said, "be true to what you said on paper."
God bless you!!
What she says at 50:00-51:00… damn.
Really 50:26
BLACK CODES.
Don't be fooled.
Hmm...
As a black former foster youth who aged out at 20, I always wondered why myself and so many others are left behind. It is this system. Teaching these social workers for generations. It effects mostly black and brown children, how does this way of thinking help to empower them?
What system???
@@kipwonder2233 Social Service System...
She is offering a distinct possibility that there is a different 'origin' story,
instead of the scrubbed fantasy that you always hear.
The story she reveals makes more sense and is more inclusive.
Black and brown children will know that what they have to offer can make an impact on the world.
These structures (Mass Media) are not a representation of reality.
For me, this story resonates and makes MUCH more sense.
@@geekmeee Why not tell the truth? It is actually it's actually more inspirational then a lie. The truth is truth is what motivated the ancestors
@@melindasaddler559
I should've known, when you described yourself...
You have not read the book The 1619 Project, you are merely going off of what somebody said, who hadn't read the book either.
History is built by reading opposing viewpoints.
Me thinks "Thou doest protest too much."
Thank you for not being a hypocrite…talking about your daughter’s schooling.
What's with the red hair? Cultural appropriation. As a Scot, I must protest.
😂you know there are Africans with red hair? Of course not. Your African ancestors 😂
YOURE TAKING IT TOO FAR… SCOTS ARENT THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH RED HAIR. LOTS OF WOMEN WEAR COLORED HAIR AS A FASHION MATCH TO CLOTHES OR CHANGE OF PACE. THEIR THOUGHTS NEVER GO BEYOND MUCH OF THAT REALLY
I wonder if the speaker understands the nature of critique.
One minute in and she has (jokingly) been dismissive with the questioner twice. The gentleman is obviously nervous and yet she pokes at him when he asked a run-on question and then again when she looks him in the eye and says, "now I forgot your question" as if his question was immaterial to the moment.
Once you understand this through the prism of race, take a step back and try again - its a human thing as we all, sometimes unknowingly, bash the OTHER in the name of the ME.
This is just between me and you. do you know?
I'm pretty sure some of my European ancestors suffered during the Plague in the 1300's. Now to find someone to blame it on, and get me some reparations!
Kick rocks ….. dummy …. We are talking about millions of black folks and not just a grandparent… again , dummy
They can only blame themselves for not batheing. No one else gave them the plague for 300 years and refused to give them the cure😉
@@QuatMan 1. Do you "get" sarcasm? 2. Victims of Bubonic Plague didn't get it by not bathing. The bacteria was carried by fleas. 3. Do you feel you owe anyone anything for something bad people who weren't even your ancestors did? If so, then pay up. If not, then shut up. 4. If you were being sarcastic too, then at least make some sense.
@@number4cat1When called out, white people be like: " I was being sarcastic! If you call me out its because you dont understand SARCASM! Be quiet😭"...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@QuatMan How many ending emojis do you need to distract from your inability to create a coherent sentence? Surely a few more will be convincing.
Bozetta the Clown! Say the name!
Wow. that was deep!
