Nikole Hannah-Jones on “The 1619 Project,” Teaching Critical Race Theory & White Supremacy on Trial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 ноя 2021
- Amid a right-wing attack on teaching critical race theory, we speak in-depth with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of the New York Times Magazine’s 1619 Project, which reframes U.S. history by marking the year when the first enslaved Africans arrived on Virginia soil as the foundational date for the United States. The project launched in 2019, and has been expanded into an anthology of 18 essays along with poems and short stories, even as several states have attempted to ban it from school curriculums. “We should all as Americans be deeply, deeply concerned about these anti-history laws because what they’re really trying to do is control our memory and to control our understanding of our country,” says Hannah-Jones. Hannah-Jones’s new book that she co-edited is out this month, titled “The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story,” along with an adaptation of the 1619 Project for children, “Born On The Water.” Hannah-Jones describes the role of her own teachers in opening her eyes beyond the usual curriculum that excluded the history she has now uplifted. She also discusses the trial of the murderers of Ahmaud Arbery, and how she felt when she won the Pulitzer Prize on the same day as one of her heroines, the formerly enslaved pioneering anti-lynching journalist, Ida B. Wells.

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” William Faulkner
Really good quote by Faulkner, thank you
In other words, "there's nothing new under the sun."
@@kevinboone2178 Indeed! In his highly researched 1956 book *The Peculiar Institution: Slavery In the Ante-Bellum South* UC-Berkeley History Professor Kenneth M. Stampp lists the five main traits of a slave plantation. How many can be found in today's long time Democrat run minority-majority inner cities and ghettos in cities such as Detroit, Chicago, and Baltimore?
1. Unsafe, broken down, and dilapidated housing.
2. Broken families.
3. A high degree of violence needed to keep order.
4. Everybody gets a basic provision. But nobody gets ahead.
5. Nihilism and despair. This is an intergenerational, ongoing way of life.

Why do you need to keep regurgitating your conservative propaganda?
@@bigvalley4987 All you have to do is refute my post. If you can.
How can immoral mindsets create moral laws?
That is insanity.
Great point. It's why the constitution needs to be rewritten to include every American. Not just big banks and corps!
@ACC Right, that's why the 1619 project is needed. These text books tell a false history of America, yet it's taught as America's history. We need to tell the whole truth.
@@MadameLadyM The 1619 Project is revisionist history on full display. They should have asked her why she felt the need to change the prologue that was in the original editorial for the book. Short answer. The authors got caught and called out for trying to pass off baseless, revisionist history as actual history. Even the 1619 name doesn't make sense. The Spanish were bringing African slaves to what would become America as early as the 1500s. They chose 1619 so they could play up the 400 year anniversary date in 2019 when it was originally released.
Way to summarize history in the most idiotic way possible.
@@MadameLadyM The 1619 Project isn't history. It's ideological propaganda. Some of the most highly regarded historians in the U.S. objected to the NYT in a letter, declaring the project fraudulent. It's simply a matter of fact that the U.S. war of independence wasn't fought to maintain slavery. That is an outright lie.
It's amazing that "patriotic education" doesn't sound like "state sponsored propaganda" to more people.
The goal of education isn't to make loyal soldiers for the State. It's to create value.
Come to Texas and see what our kids learn in high school - garbage. Remember, the educational system's objective is to produce dumb workers, not leaders.
The goal is create use-value and value.
@ACC 'IF' it is fiction...it's closer to the 'truth' than the garbage taught in most schools!
@@Stop-and-listen George Carlin, comedian and philosopher, pointed this out all the time. The owners of this country don't want people who are critical thinkers, they want people who are just smart enough to take and give orders, reason be damned.
@@khazad2112
I miss him. He once said, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”
I am a 51 years old white man who grew up in America, went to public school & both parents were teachers and have advanced degrees in education. Majority of real & actual black history I have learned has been in the past 2-3 years. I asked my father about why this is, he explained that most, "American History", Textbooks used is all states were / are approved in TEXAS. Today I am actively educating myself in diversity black & indigenous people's history and current lives. I am disgusted by elected "leader's" lack of ability to properly overcome constant lies told by liars, Sorry dis-information. Thank you Democracy Now for doing this series. Thank you Nikole Hannah-Jones for re-framing US history the way it should have always been taught in the US.
You're the kind of self hating white man who stokes black hatred of unsuspecting white children.
You're a disgusting mess.

"Slavery is one of the oldest institutions in our society." It's also one of the oldest institutions in world history.
And actually breeding ppl for enslavement ---- breeding farms.@@THEREALSOURCE
@@carlyking9234 True!
@@THEREALSOURCE No offense, but nothing you wrote is true as far as being unique to the USA. Chattel slavery was the usual form of enslavement in most societies that practiced slavery throughout human history. You can also look up the Code of Ur-Nammu from all the way back in 2100 BCE to see slavery being written into law. Chattel slavery still exists today by the way, mainly in Sudan and Mauritania. You can look up the story of Fatma Mint Mamadou from Mauritania, she was born into slavery just like everyone in her family for generations. Here is an excerpt about slavery in Mauritania:
"These slaves are chattel. They are used for house or farm labor, for sex, and for breeding. They may be exchanged for camels, trucks, guns, or money. Children of chattel slaves remain the property of their master. Many are born into slavery and die in slavery never having experienced freedom."
@@Supermanfan99 No offense taken. If you look at my comment closely, you'll see I said the combination of those characteristics made U.S. slavery unique. If you know of a society where the combination of those characteristics was present in a slave system, then let me know. I'm willing to learn.
Thank Obama who brought slavery back in Libya.
I'm 70 years old. When I was a kid in the fifth grade, I knew back then that black Africans were brought over in the slave ships back in the 1600s.
Also, I could read at high school and adult level. During the summer months I would hang out in the public library checking out books that I was not allowed to read in school. I was a science geek. Astronomy was my favorite subject. It was in the 1600s when Galileo was tried by the Roman Catholic Holy Office of the Inquisition and put under house arrest for the remainder of his life. Also, in 1600 Girodano Bruno was burned at the stake. So, as a kid, I had my own personal 1600s project, studying the history of Astronomy.
Same here, but do you know what so called conservatives are doing to education, and text book revisions since 1980?
Happy 70th year! The heresy is not because of body size but ideology. Historical truth shouldn't be subject but objective truth is usually archeological not written.
@@robertrichard6107 Yeah! I read Orwell's 1984 back in 1980. After Carl Sagan produced COSMOS for PBS, the Reagan administration cut funding for educational programming, and PBS had to hold telethons to raise money. Thanks to the Republican party, America has become more dystopian.
The Republican administration reminds me of Orwell's Animal Farm, only, pigs are more intelligent than Republicans!
@@nickrich56 Thank you. My birthday was on September 30th which is also International Blasphemy Rights Day!!! I love being an atheist! Jimmy Carter's birthday is on October 1st and Neil deGrassie Tyson's birthday is on October 5th. So! I'm in good company!

We must be very ugly if we can’t bring ourselves to stare at a mirror.
ayeeee so true
I'm a descendant of William Penn and I can confirm he brought 2 slaves with him when he founded Pennsylvania in 1650 even though he was a member of the Society of Friends (quakers) and they believed in equality, it just shows the inherent disadvantages black ppl have always had in America going all the way back to it being the "new world"
Thank You for telling the Truth!
oh. i see so before America appeared in this world things were GREAT. ok
@@5british5 shhh. dont spoil their childish view that until America came along the world was harmonious and wonderful. wouldn't want people to wake up and actually notice the enemies of all people now white black brown etc. manipulating governments everywhere to keep us all down. those with real power rather keep us fighting white vs black . and not see whats really going on.
@@joebflies huh? So he had slaves coming from England whom was participating in slavery, they went to the new world because they were being persecuted for being members of the society of friends (quakers) literally jailed bc their beliefs didn't match the crowns... what is so great about any of that?
@@pscottlivingnow my pleasure! I've learned more about our colonial history from researching my family than I ever learned in school n most of it is just.... well f'd up!
Studying history, can have a prophetic dimension!
Glad to hear Reagan justly credited here, since he said while governor of California, when asked why he had cut funding for Cal State, "The more people who took those courses, the more people who came out to protest our policies, so we cut the funding for those courses." I guess that makes it all pretty clear. Also, having taken some black history courses twenty years ago, I was shocked that what I had thought of as a marginal corner of history was actually a truer statement of history than I had ever seen before, and I had earlier won awards for history in high school. As James Baldwin said, "Black history is not the history of black people, it is the history of America!" Amen. Thank you to Nikole Hannah-Jones, Democracy Now for their bravery in making these efforts to tell the truth. I see from the comment stream that this is still a very divisive controversial topic.
It's Time bc "Times Up"! Asé
Yes, their code words irritate me so; that is why we cannot be distracted, and be diligent about truths, anything worth having is worth fighting for...
Lol
It’s controversial because white supremacy is stamped into the identity of so many people and they aren’t even aware how deep it is
@@stephr9859 And you know but they don't? That is impossible.
Thomas Paine and a very small few northerners fought against allowing slavery to be enshrined in the constitution. They lost that fight to everybody else’s greed. The man that wrote Common Sense, The Rights of Man and other seminal works was the one to pay the price for speaking out against slavery. As Chris Hedges has said “I don’t fight fascists because I’ll win, I fight fascists because they are fascists. “
Jefferson wanted to abolish slavery but it was entrenched by that point. He knew there would eventually be a war to end it.
Chris Hedges is MLK incarnate to the tenth power, because he says what MLK could not.
You do know that phasing out slavery was a part of the constitution. What does slavery have to do with Fascism?
@@krillin876, othering a minority group has always been a part of fascism. From European colonization to Orban in Hungary today. American slavery is one of the original forms of fascism

I have learned more of US History during this interview than I did during my entire academic years.
@ Mia isn’t that something! Shows that we weren’t educated but indoctrinated!
@ACC You mean debunked by a certain type of historians -- those who want to continue pushing the false narrative.
@ACC Keep digesting the lies. Show me proof that all Black historians have rejected the project since you said all historians.
@ACC Slavery was a lucrative business, you can bet a war would be fought if one side thought it would come to an end. Interestingly, slave owners were given reparations when chattle slavery ended but then it give rise to other forms of slavery -- Jim Crow, and the continued systemic racism -- school to prison pipeline.
No you didn't. Not even close.

Hello, Nikole, just need for you to realize how inspiring you are for undertaking a work that has been such a struggle for so many alleged blacks for so many years. i feel that I should be visibly and verbally working along with you and others as well. Sorry but my lack of status prevents that from happening. However, my prayers are with you, and I do plan to get the book. Be encouraged!

Hi Leslie. You do not have "lack of status", or need it, to do the work. You have status by simply waking up each day! Start by educating yourself and everyone around you about the vital history in the 1619 and other texts about Black history. I also feel we should start 1619 family clubs in out communities to reach these vital teachings. We can ALL do that.
Thanks Nicole! You are a tough sweet cookie. I had the pleasure to ‘rub elbows’ when employed in the Legal Dept in 2019. The project was in it’s final works and was shared online with NYT employees. The stories and graphics of our history she shared is absolutely astonishing! I must get a copy of the book. Hope to get it autographed. ☺️ I got an autographed copy of David’s book while working in Legal. He called me a “Light in the Legal Dept.” 😎😊

Trump's words are horrifying. How can telling the truth of our sins "destroy the country?" We must learn from and correct our mistakes and learn to love much more.
Jennifer Hampton, I agree 💯. Thank you.
I would rather a hard truth than a comfortable lie.
Consider the person those words are coming from: a vile, vulgar, reprehensible, repulsive, poor excuse of a human being, who I refer to as the "Sh*t Stain on Humanity". This individual is opposed to telling the truth on ANY issue that does not reflect positively on him. Why should it be any surprise that he opposes a candid portrayal of American history? Moreover, this reprehensible Sh*t Stain will seize every opportunity to use any issue that is divisive and leverage it to further polarize those who support him, against the rest of us.
Facts
Hanna Jones isn't telling the truth about anything. She's blatantly lying about the founding of the US that took place in 1776 by changing history and saying it began in 1619 with the arrival of the first slaves. Furthermore, Jones and the Editors at the New York Times published educational materials later sent to schools that stated the Revolutionary War was fought SOLELY to keep slavery intact in the colonies, a lie that was vociferously refuted by war and history scholars, black and white alike.
Thank you Nikole for shining the light on this open wound in the body America.
This is our history, American history but along with the shame is redemption and victory which says the human beings taken against their will to the America's left everything behind except their humanity and the culture which sustain them.

19:38 This moment in America’s history is the fruit of the Reagan counter-revolution that began in 1980.
That counter-revolution made possible the State enforcing the interests of a particular class and not the interest of all.
The Reagan counter-revolution began way before 1980, it began in the 1970's when he was governor of California, one of the biggest buyers of textbooks worldwide. He famously said on television, when asked why he had cut funding for socio-psychology and political science courses at Cal State, "The more people who took those courses, the more people who came out to protest our policies, so we cut the funding for those courses." I guess that makes it all pretty clear.
@@Kelpy Reagan was a great fighter of commies that again are taking over America. NHJ is just another one.

The 1776 project doesn't mention the native people of this land one time.
Fuck tRump

There are more than enough things that are wrong here in America. We certainly do not need to add to the list. 1619 is sophomoric claptrap.
Much Gratitude For Uncovering The Facts About The Racist History Right Here In The United States 👉🏽 In A Country That Claims To Be About Freedom Justice And Equality. Thank You Nikole Hannah Jones And Democracy Now For Bringing This Truth Forward To The World. Peace
This country is about that except Marxist like Nicole want to destroy the good we have for the greed and narcissism and power hungry socialist Marxist THIEVES on the left.
1619 Project is mostly trash lies, distortions intentional omission of easily verifyable facts for the political agenda of Marxist Socialist seeking more power. Teach a generation to hate the founding, hate the Constitution, hate the system of checks and balances and separation of powers that we have so Marxist Socialist Commiecrats can steal power and wealth for themselves while as in true Marxist Socialist grifts the only ones who get wealthy are themselves while giving out crumbs to the serfs they just created. Just like BLM got rich and helped not a single family they fund raised off of.
While watching The 1619 Project , I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would most undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.
I couldn't have said it better. This is why my wife and I have chosen to sell our home in the suburbs to move to MLK Blvd in the urban core of our city. The people there are so accepting of caucasian people there.

Aubrey was a fleeing felon; they had every right to make a citizen's arrest and he attacked them and now he's dead.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 you are a darn liar. How did he attack them when they were the ones that initiated the attack? What felon did he commit? He was jogging and stopped at a housing project, a project that the owner of the project said people stopped and looked at all the time. Aubery then continued jogging after looking and the Mcmichaels chased him down and killed him. If a set of men run up on you with a gun your natural reaction is going to be self defense. The video is right before your eyes and you are saying he attacked the men.
I bet many like you will say Rittenhouse defended himself. But Aubery who was unarmed was chased and killed and blamed for attacking those men. Hypocrite
The perpetual hatred that they have towards black people is short of demonic.
it is demonic
The ginned up hatred of white people by these race Pimps is demonic.
Never forget
2 books that helped me to be a decent American were Roots & Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. I would like to find historical books that promote Hispanic ppls, Oriental ppls, Eastern Indian ppls, etc. America is a melting pot. We MUST do better with history & prevention against racism.

@@wallyreyes9493 You are right we are all the same in God's eyes, but not in man's eyes, and we live on Earth, not in heaven. Asian's do work hard and excel, but African American and Latino people do also, but the emphasis in the media is on the ones that don't. There are also Asian's who don't succeed, but the emphasis in the media is on the ones who do. Racists perpetrate those stereotypes to their benefit. To make it seem like Black people are the problem when it is really the ruling elite who is the problem, and to divide and conquer the middle and lower classes, when we should be working together. The ruling elite are the real problem when they don't pay a livable wage when their salaries skyrocket, when schools in certain neighborhoods are not funded properly, and with automation, and AI more people will be struggling to find jobs because they have been erased by machines. All of the people that believe those stereotypes need to realize that they are untrue and realize that the ruling elite want you to believe that to keep us divided and fighting for crumbs, while they take the whole pie.
Didn't the author of roots come out and claim he wanted to give his people a "fable" to inspire. Just like 1619 its falsifying history for comfort. Its disgusting
It's funny, I didn't start trying to learn about the 1619 project until republicans made a hissy fit over it.

Its funny, I didn't understand that the left were spreading false history until I noticed their support for Afrocentric pseudo history starting with Van Sertima. Dumb fucks

Um, Republicans didn't start the hissy fit. The commies over at World Socialist Web Site contacted REAL historians to refute what the hack journalists at the New York Times concocted as "true history". Again, you've been bullshitted.

NIKOLE HANNAH-JONES , THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU 💗YOU ARE A NATIONAL TREASURE🏆
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA (HAMPTON) ATTENDED ALL SEGREGATED SCHOOLS UNTIL WE INTEGRATED HAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL IN 1963, OUR TEACHERS AND PARENTS WERE VERY AWARE OF THE HISTORY OF 1619. WE WERE IN FACT TAUGHT IN THE HOME AND WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. AT THE AGE OF 74 YEARS OLD, I AM SHOCKED THAT MOST AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE VERY IGNORANT OF OUR OWN HISTORY.
What about the african americans who owned slaves? They didn’t seem to see a problem so why are we only talking about white people not seeing a problem? Seems like anybody could have done what white people did if they were in their position.
@@Achilles22098 Your comment is so silly and it is a reflection of your ill education. Sometimes rich Jews bequeathed their property to slaves out of repentance. Out of all the help your ancestors gave those big corporate plantations not one dime of it was bequeathed to you. That's what they thought of you. It's not Black people's fault that you're poor. You have the mentality of a serf! That's why your poor.
Good for you. Tell us how many Black teachers you had.

There are subversive tactics that people (teachers, students, and parents) can employ to wait out this insanity, which will eventually subside. Teachers need to encourage students and parents to weaponize their First Amendment rights for some "guided" independent study at home, work that satisfies, in part or in whole, academic obligations at school.
Black people are, & always have been, the most patriotic Americans because we fight for Democracy & the rights of all Americans harder than any other Americans. My parents lived through segregation and the mass lynchings of Black people. Yet they still believed in the greatness of this country.
I do too. But I am more skeptical. I feel that America has the POTENTIAL for greatness but it has never fulfilled it. I am very disappointed that in so many ways we are still in the same place, as Black people, as we were in my parents time and will likely not get any better in my lifetime.
Wow she's heaven sent.if we let the powers that be cover it up,in we forget history will repeat itself.thats why we've gotta stop with the B/S. to one or another.stringth is in numbers.what ever happened to the large familys and love that we as black people had
You really believe that slavery will be repeated? You don’t have faith of humanity in others? That’s what MLK believed. That children are innocent and morale so if inequalities and oppression is shown through peaceful protest then people will eventually listen because the kids will grow up and see the injustices. It’s when you become neurotic or silent that people stop listening. Calling all white people racist is neurotic because the statement itself is hypocritical and that’s what CRT tries to make a fact.

studying history will sometimes disturb you. studying history will sometimes upset you. studying history will sometimes make you furious. if studying history always makes you feel proud and happy, you probably aren’t studying history.
1619 Project is mostly trash lies, distortions intentional omission of easily verifyable facts for the political agenda of Marxist Socialist seeking more power. Teach a generation to hate the founding, hate the Constitution, hate the system of checks and balances and separation of powers that we have so Marxist Socialist Commiecrats can steal power and wealth for themselves while as in true Marxist Socialist grifts the only ones who get wealthy are themselves while giving out crumbs to the serfs they just created. Just like BLM got rich and helped not a single family they fund raised off of.
If studying history always makes you angry and ashamed, you are not getting the truth either

@@jamberry8026 Lies? John Thorton and Linda Haywood's book talk about where the 1619 slaves come from, Angola. I think they're enlightening because they don't keep black history in the myopic American point of view, but rather ask questions on the broader global narrative.

Clown she is
Black ppl came here in the mid 1500's with the Spaniards.
Black ppl form Mali came here in the 1200's but yall keep on thinking that they came here only in 1619 is BS.
Black people were here way before 1500's read a book by Ivan Van Sertima tittled they came before columbus. So-called black folks are the original people of the Earth. We were the first Americans read a book by Dr. David Imhotep the Africans were the first Americans
The people known as black people are indigenous to this land mass called Amerikkka.
We are indigenous to the America's and also the founder's of civilization. Architects and Astrologers. Alchemist who understood how to tap into the either which is the oneness of ALL. The light/The TRUTH; The Hermetica. The original Hebrews. Why else would Christopher Columbus bring along a translator fluent in the Paleo Hebrew alphabet( ancient Hebrew)
Keep up the right fight Sister...Triumph!!!

Better also tell them ‘turks used slaves too’ is no excuse. Chinese and Indians abolished slavery way earlier.
How would Nikole Hannah-jones stand to the idea to abolish the categorization by race in public documents, job applications, etc? - It's relatively unique to the USA. At least in most European countries, including Germany (which is where I come from), you don't get asked for your race, and when I arrived here in 1989 I was surprised to find out that I have to mark myself as "caucasian".
I used to advocate for identifying as American. Race is a social construct. Nikole Hannah-
Jones has not to my knowledge addressed historical inaccuracies alleged by several prominent historians. She seems not open to feedback or it could be a haughty sense of superiority, IDK. The 1619 Project was awesome and I encouraged people to read and research the info. But I offended Hannah-Jones by asking how could she sing the praises of Liz Cheney for denouncing Trump and 1/6. Cheney voted 95% of the time with TRUMP policies.
@@jerzecandy she actually doesn't speak for us, neither does BLM. She is a careerists and grifter, but if she changes some minds along the way.....
@@jerzecandy why ❓❓❓❓❓cognitive dissonance is what y’all suffer from lol
@@MsKimmie41 maybe I’m an advocate for accepting feedback and learning the truth. My thoughts are consistent. 1/ 1619 Project brought historical facts into present day discussion
2/ accuracies are important
3/ 1/6 and it’s implications are an ongoing coup
4/ because Liz Cheney denounces Trump and the insurrection that’s all good to hold Republicans accountable
5/ it doesn’t erase Cheney’s record for voting yes 95% of the time for Trump’s agenda
6/ this Country has many issues that we have to deal with on all levels.
These are my thoughts only.

You DO know those are the SAME words from the SAME book they used to justify our enslavement..., right? How about those verses saying fight back? We are the ONLY people on earth who'll pick up a book or pray for an Enemy before fighting back. This is why we Never get anywhere. For ONCE lets do like the REST OF THE WORLD and leave the verses and pretty words at home and fight back.
@@douthinkb4uspeak595 check out Stephen Darby's "who are we....and they jacked us " it ll change your opinion
It is not based on skin color, though. MLK -- judge by content of character, not color of skin. Comes down to "either you are an asshole or you are not." As white supremacy ends, people must create a just society for all. What would true "restorative justice" look like?
I will always quote the words of my departed father Rasta man Glen Judah growing up “History, His story for it is not our story it’s his story.” I’d find myself parroting my fathers words during history class at school that’s his story referencing the white mans history to which I would add “what about our story?” I was told that my story my peoples history wasn’t part of the school’s curriculum. “Ohh, but the enslavement of my people is part of your school’s curriculum…”I’d usually got told to be quiet 🤫 or summarily kicked out of the lesson for been disruptive.
But the truth of our history can only be hidden and locked away for so long.
And what the 1926 project has done is opened the doors to the truth and not to the flight of white superiority fantasy.
@Viking 😂 😆 😂 😆 how did you come up with that deduction please articulate that for me…
How so explain yourself, you keep repeating yourself are you a parrot??? Yet you’ve failed to articulate yourself how I’m white suprematist???
@Viking you must be talking about yourself my man. You’re upset I get it the lies you were taught growing up that you Mazungu were the next best great thing since sliced bread. But you’re still unable to come up with coherent explanation as to what makes me a white suprematist??? Instead you resort to elementary school level agreement to try and illicit a reaction.
I hate referencing this man but it’ll have to surffice you see when Europe sent their people out to the new world they didn’t send their best and their brightest. No, no, no they sent thieves, murderers and rapist. And the sentence I just used came from the mouth a liar a con man and accused rapist and known bigot and racist who claimed that he won the 2020 election. Would he be considered a white suprematist???
Thank your lucky stars you are living in a majority white country.
Black people should pull their children from these schools and demand their property tax that goes to these schools be stopped and given back to them for use in educating their children in schools they approve of, schools that teach real history.
Richard Wright wrote Native Son to understand how long people of color had been oppressed in this country. The 1619 project continue to be a part of America's history.
Nikole. 💯
Ms Jones Thank You so very much.
When I was in the school system ,at a young age, I remember the "doctrine" of black history started at slavery in North America... not when they were kings and queens in advanced civilizations.
The premise that black history has been erased from history is just not correct. I got all of this in my history class. The legacy of slavery is ONE component that has shaped our country among a number of components. To treat it like it is the only component is just not correct.
All of what? That Blacks were enslaved? That's not all of Black history, shows how uneducated you are.
We are long passed time for truth and reconciliation in America. It is time we teach and learn the real history of our country rather than the heroic mythology of the white patriarchy.
@Viking you’re wrong
European supremacy has this fixation with authoritarianism, just because your european doesn't give you any type of authority an attitude that needs to change through out society in general.
Well, they came here to escape that authority, but actually brought it here with them.
Thanks for having miss Jines she is one MY HERO

Let em know Sister, let em know!!
In his highly researched 1956 book *The Peculiar Institution: Slavery In the Ante-Bellum South* UC-Berkeley History Professor Kenneth M. Stampp lists the five main traits of a slave plantation. How many can be found in today's long time Democrat run minority-majority inner cities and ghettos in cities such as Detroit, Chicago, and Baltimore?
1. Unsafe, broken down, and dilapidated housing.
2. Broken families.
3. A high degree of violence needed to keep order.
4. Everybody gets a basic provision. But nobody gets ahead.
5. Nihilism and despair. This is an intergenerational, ongoing way of life.
Not much different from Republican run Appalachia.

Nicole Hannah-Jones book cuts to the core of the modern debate around what education is for and how it is done. This isn't just about an alternate historical narrative, historical accuracy, or broadening instructional content. Discussing the substantial academic support for assertions made in 1619, she says, "What seemed to provoke so much ire was that we had breached the wall between academic history and popular understanding," (1619, xxv-xxvi).
School book histories are traditionally about a foundation myth that explains who we are and why we are a nation. This is politics, not history. Modern approaches to curriculum move away from indoctrination and towards inquiry to lay this question before students to answerit critically, using the tools and resources we all share. History is inquiry and debate, not holy writ.
Hannah-Jones quotes Douglass saying, "The masters, to tell their story, had at call all the talent and genius that wealth and influence could command. They have had their full day in court. Literature, theology, philosophy, law and learning have come willingly to their service, and if condemned, they have not been condemmed unheard. [Our part] has been to tell the story of the slave". (1619, xxviii).
Well said. Thank you for this.

I give her props for shedding light on getting this info out and doing her work however….this needs to be taught in the homes by the parents or caretakers first. You do that, then these other groups who are teaching our children will be forced to teach the truth in proper context when little children start schooling the teachers on this subject. Parents should be excited to teach their own children about things that affects us.
So true. Thank you for this! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
@@eliyahubenysrael6272 Word ach. We shouldn’t rely on these folks to teach our kids. We really are destroyed because we lack knowledge.
@@jeremiah_12 And that goes for a lot of other things too...✊🏿
So true; many topics need to be taught by parents at home. They should also make sure to pay attention to the homework as their children work on it and help them prepare good follow-up questions. They should take the time to review online lesson content that is accessible from home. They should limit time on social media or gaming activities. They should reply to messages from the teachers of their children.
The 1619 Project is not the shining pinnacle of American history education that some of its more enthusiastic proponents apparently think, nor is it the scurrilous propaganda intended to sew hatred for America its more febrile detractors claim. It's just an interpretation of our complex history, one of many that make debate on the subject interesting, dynamic, and worthwhile.
Str8 facts
All American students have been and are being denied the truth of our American his/herstory. This is also true about extent of American patriarchal violence and suppression of women’s right to a full life that continues today.
An interesting response to Nikole's slavery and capitalism connection.
"Instead, he(Adam Smith)focused his efforts on arguing that slavery was an economically unfeasible system, far more expensive than using free labor. Although slave labor appears to be the cheapest form of labor because it involves only the basic maintenance of the slave’s physical existence, it is, in fact, the most expensive form of production, argued Smith."
"So capitalism and the success of the United States do not have their roots in slavery. The opposite is true: Slavery, which had existed for 5,000 years, came to an end with the emergence of capitalism about 200 years ago. The success of capitalism in the United States is not based on slavery, but on the abolition of it."
From:
No, US capitalism wasn't shaped largely by chattel slavery
