In Racist Screed, NYT’s 1619 Project Founder Calls ‘White Race’ ‘Barbaric Devils,’ ‘Bloodsuckers,’ Columbus ‘No Different Than Hitler’
The Federalist ^ | JUNE 25, 2020 | Jordan Davidson

Posted on 06/25/2020 12:15:46 PM PDT by Catphish

In an indication of what was to come, the founder of the New York Times’ 1619 Project penned a lengthy racist screed attacking all white people in 1995.

Nikole Hannah-Jones, the lead essayist on New York Times Magazine’s 1619 Project, wrote a letter to the editor in Notre Dame’s The Observer stating that “the white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world.”

If you are white, you are a racist.

Now, I'll write a book extolling that premise and finding racism in anything I choose from my imaginative musings.

Voila! A best seller!

Wonder where this two bit racist lives?

It’s a sure bet she does not live in the middle of the ‘hood but in an upscale neighborhood that is majority white.

If she lived next to me, I could not live in peace with someone who hates me because of the color of my skin; I would ask for courage to rebuke her for her hateful attitude.

(The basis for my actions is based on Lev. 19:17 “you shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall rebuke your neighbor and not suffer sin upon him”; in other words part of loving my neighbor is not allowing him to live in sin — and this verse precedes the more well known verse, “you shall love your neighbor as yourself.)

A gross ignoramus, totally adrift from fact.

Modern history, the Hutu genocide of their Tutsi next-door neighbors and ‘friends’ in Rawanda in 1994. An estimated 70+% of the Tutsi population was slaughtered in just months. No whites were involved.

The Mongol Invasions of Genghis Khan and his successors, 1180-1250 AD, death tolls from conquests fro China to Poland, equaled about 5% of ENTIRE WORLD contemporary population. Whites were victims not the attackers.

What a Maroon!

The New York Times has finally admitted a key error in the 1619 Project. It disqualifies it from use in our schools.

Nikole Hannah-Jones Endorses Riots And Toppling Statues As A Product Of The 1619 Project

JUNE 20, 2020 By Allison Schuster

Nikole Hannah-Jones, staff writer at The New York Times and lead essayist in The New York Times Magazine’s 1619 Project, just endorsed the nationwide destruction of statues as a product of her historically inaccurate work.

The 1619 Project debuted in 2019 on the 400th anniversary of the arrival of African-Americans in the United States as slaves, as an ongoing look into the history of U.S. slavery.

Although the project has been taught in schools and applauded by elites, even winning Hannah-Jones a Pulitzer Prize this May despite having to issue major corrections, the project’s influence truly revealed itself in the recent removal of historical symbols in nearly every major city across the U.S.

Claremont’s Charles Kesler wrote a column in The New York Post Friday, titled “Call them the 1619 riots,” blaming the indignation and utter lack of regard for the nation’s greatest men on the misinformation stemming from The 1619 Project.

Hannah-Jones responded to the article on twitter saying she would be honored to claim responsibility for the defamation of American heroes and Founding Fathers such as George Washington.

It would be an honor. Thank you. https://t.co/W4HXKY8kCm

— Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) June 20, 2020

“America is burning,” Kesler writes. “Rioters set fire to police stations and restaurants. Looters have ravaged shops from coast to coast. And now they’re coming for the statues — not just of Confederate generals, but the republic’s Founders, including George Washington, whose statue was torn down in Portland, Ore. Call them the 1619 riots.”

The essence of Hannah-Jones’ project, as argued by her editor, Jake Silverstein, is that the emergence of slavery in this country isn’t merely a stain on an otherwise honorable U.S. founding, but rather that slavery is the entirety of the founding. Slavery came before the American Revolution and therefore preceded any ideas of liberty and equality.

“In other words, 1619 is not ‘as important’ as 1776; it is far more important and more revealing,” Kesler wrote. “American slavery is the deeper truth of American freedom. It doesn’t get more systemic than racism being in ‘the very DNA of this country,’ as Hannah-Jones claims.”

Prominent American historians fiercely denounced the project after its initial release for its glaring inaccuracies. Even “impeccable liberals” voiced their objections, Kesler wrote, including Sean Wilentz, Gordon Wood and James McPherson. Five historians even wrote a letter to The New York Times outlining its errors.

Seventh months after its publication, the Times printed a correction for what they admitted was a significant mistake in one of Hannah-Jones’ essays. After being taught in schools for over half a year, the essay was then clarified to show that maintaining slavery wasn’t every colonist’s motivation to forge the American Revolution, but merely that of some.

The project’s scope, however, had already reached young Americans. As evidenced by the mayhem of recent weeks, so many Americans were taught an altered form of history, one riddled with mistruths that discounted the value of the Founders’ work.

Kesler’s article accusing The 1619 Project of inciting this type of defamation with its wrong portrayal of American history divulges truth to those who already saw the project’s inherent dishonesty. Hannah-Jones’ proud ownership of the accusation, however, is far more telling of her own motivation for the project.

This woman’s “1619” anti-American propaganda is being taught to children in public schools.

The purpose of all this “white guilt” race attacks is to try to make all white people assume the burden of past slavery.

My professor of American History had an exercise that he used as an introduction to his class. He said we should really call it a “Foreign History” because most of us have no roots in the country back several generations.

He then had students sit down if they or a parent weren’t born in the US. Then students whose grandparents weren’t born here and many took a seat. Then great-grandparents and there were only about 7 of us out of a class over a hundred students still standing. Granted this school was in NYC but you get the idea. We are truly a land of immigrants and most have no connection at all with the era of slavery

Thanks!

Anthony Johnson (b. c. 1600 – d. 1670) was a black Angolan known for achieving wealth in the early 17th-century Colony of Virginia. He was one of the first African American property owners and had his right to legally own a slave recognized by the Virginia courts. Held as an indentured servant in 1621, he earned his freedom after several years, and was granted land by the colony.[1]

He later became a successful tobacco farmer in Maryland. He attained great wealth after completing his term as an indentured servant, and has been referred to as "'the black patriarch' of the first community of Negro property owners in America".[1]

I’ve posted before that this country had legalized slavery for about 80 years - NOT 400 - from the end of the American Revolution (about 1783) to the Emancipation Proclamation (1863). IT HAS BEEN NEARLY TWICE AS LONG SINCE THEN - in 2023, it will be 160 years since it ended.

Slavery is the scapegoat of people who have given up on assimilating into a Western country, nothing less.
