She was born in Waterloo, Iowa, a few miles from the University of Northern Iowa, but instead of attending a well-regarded inexpensive public university she was able to attend an expensive private university elsewhere. Obviously her brilliance was recognized early. She is a recipient of a MacArthur grant, which seems to be given to leftists only.
Hannah is her father’s surname and Jones must have been her husband’s original surname—he now also goes by Hannah-Jones.
I look at Hannah-Jones resume and what I see is a black woman who isn’t authentic because she grew up in a predominantly white community and in fact had a white mother. (sound familiar?) She then attended an elite private university in another region of the country. Got an elite masters degree in yet another region of the country. And what does she do with all that high priced education — she engages in a series of jobs focused on race. No indication of any other professional interests. Intellectually lazy to say the least.
From what I have read, about 5,000-9,000 blacks served in the Continental Army and Navy. About 20,000 blacks served in the British Army and Royal Navy.
A significant number to be sure. But you can’t divide that number by the peak strength of the Continental Army and then claim that that percentage is relevant. You’d have to divide by the total number of Continental Army veterans — and I don’t think anybody knows that number with any accuracy. (I’m sure I’m not telling you anything you wouldn’t already know)
And if I’m not mistaken, Anthony Johnson, was black.
Any truth to the rumor God threw Adam and Eve out of the garden because they were racists? I’m sure that one of the “civil rights” advocates will claim that sooner or later.
Correct. And John Casor was white. So the first slave owner in the English colonies was a black man that owned a white man.
I have a descendant that arrived in the Province of Carolina in 1642.
By any chance, have you read the February Imprimus? Great historic article on the partisan divide. The twit that justifies the so-called 1619 project as history cannot make peace with patriots.
My retort to those with eternal slave chips on their shoulders is that it took eighty some years and hundreds of thousands of white lives to rid the US of the British institution of slavery.
Not true!
Anthony Johnson brought suit in Northampton County court against Robert Parker in 1654 for detaining his “Negro servant, John Casor,” saying “Hee never did see any [indenture] but that hee had ye Negro for his life”
In the case of Johnson v. Parker, the court of Northampton County upheld Johnson’s right to hold Casor as a slave, saying in its ruling of 8 March 1655:
“This daye Anthony Johnson negro made his complaint to the court against mr. Robert Parker and declared that hee deteyneth his servant John Casor negro under the pretence that said negro was a free man....”
But whites did bring diseases to the new world. I am Cherokee, British, French, Irish, Dutch, German, African American, and I see enough blame to spread around too all of my ancestors. But I would rather live in Current day USA than how any of my ancestors lived!!!!!!!!!! AMEN
I don’t know about white racist pig, but my Cherokee ancestors were driven off their land by my white ancestors, Trail of Tears...
Since the liberals are the ones who want open borders and illegals coming into USA and that is where the sex slaves are created.... Well they are to blame for current slavery of the worst kind!
Good one!
But when you are dead, you DO know it! My daddy came to visit me twice after he died. Pretty Cool!
Rewriting history now that they have all the idiots attention they can feed them sh## and the will eat it
So, the British were eeevil white colonizers/ oppressors everywhere in the world except in the American colonies, where they nobly fought *against* slavery?
These “progressive” nitwits keep shooting their own arguments down.
“Trail of Tears”
Trail of tears, so called, because it was the whites who wept as they walked trough. The Indians didn’t cry.
