Nikole Hanna-Jones, author of The 1619 Project is pretty well-known to Twitchy readers for saying really stupid stuff and today is no different.
She initially tried to dunk on FOX News for writing about a different silly tweet, but that is not the stupid part! The stupid comes in when a user suggested she read Thomas Sowell and she then made one of the most ignorant tweets Twitter has ever seen tweeted.
That is the initial tweet.

Read Thomas Sowell’s essay The Real History of Slavery. I think you’ll find it interesting.
Then the user kindly made a reading suggestion to Hannah-Jones.

Other than being Black, what exactly is Sowell's expertise in slavery or history?

“ Other than being Black, what exactly is Sowell’s expertise in slavery or history?”
What’s funny is normally she’d say that’s enough to be an expert.
Wonder if Ms. Hanna-Jones has ever read anything Sowell has written...?
Someone should get her on the record.
I wonder whether she's ever read anything at all, outside comic books and "Karl Marx for Dummies". Maybe the instruction for her hair dye?
Just finished Discrimination & Disparities. Finished Black Rednecks a couple weeks ago & mailed to another Freeper. Going to start Vision of the Anointed when done with my current book.
Liberals will write & publish things that they “feel,” but God help us when people like Dr. John Lott or Dr. Sowell write and source a book like they do.
Ditto for Ida Bae Wells...
From her wiki page, she has a black father and white mother, and attended nearly all-white schools growing up.
I suspect that she was academically inferior to her average white classmate, and this may account for her anger and bitterness towards whites.
In this, she resembles Obama.
Vision is a great book. It is over 25 years old now, and still extremely relevant and applicable.
What’s also funny is that as a “historian” of U.S. racial relationships, she doesn’t know the answer. Keep in mind why Afrcian-American studies departments exist: this way, “establishment” academics, despite their nearly universally Marxist ideology, had no say in the correctness or even reasonability of theses. Her very discipline exists because it cannot withstand even the most sympathetic demand for accuracy.
Drugstore owner...We need to demean our customers. How can we do that and add some expenses and overhead because things are going so well for us? /obvious sarc.
I have read “Vision of the Anointed”, and highly recommend it.
Haven’t read any of the other ones, yet.
reminds me of something hilarious but tragic I encountered: a PRINCIPLE at a HIGH SCHOOL who got her doctorate degree at the University of Pittsburgh with a paper on how white and Asian teachers don’t know how incompetent their race makes them (based on seven interviews). She was so stupid that I kid you not: she wondered why people on campus wore “pit” and “up it” sweatshirts. (Pitt and U Pitt)
That also tells you something about the “scholars” who awarded her the doctorate, doesn’t it…
I very highly recommend Sowell’s “Knowledge and Decisions”, which covers how real people have to make decisions without having a totality of facts, and how stereotypes arise.
Also “A Conflict of Visions”, which preceded “Vision of the Annointed”.
Silly, she can’t read...

This might help give a little insight into her. It’s a little over an hour long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYdhm6XfTVQ
Agreed. Finished that one about a year ago. Should be taught in every school.
