NYT Pulitzer Prize Winner: White Race ‘Barbaric’
freebeacon ^ | JUNE 26, 2020 | Josh Christenson

Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones once penned a polemical letter to her college newspaper denouncing the white race as "barbaric."

"The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world," she wrote in a 1995 letter published in the Notre Dame Observer, according to a report by the Federalist. She added that white Europeans "committed genocide … in their greed and insatiable desire to destroy every non-white culture."

Her essay goes on to compare Christopher Columbus to Hitler, claim that Christianity was an "excuse" for genocide, and state the white race continues to subdue the black community in a similar fashion to this day.

"The descendants of these savage people pump drugs and guns into the Black community," she writes.

Hannah-Jones also implied that the descendants of white Europeans are racist because of their ancestors.

"After everything that those barbaric devils did, I do not hate them or their descendants," she says. "Because of some lacking, they needed ot [sic] constantly prove their superiority."

Hannah-Jones's editorial was written in response to an editorial by a fellow sophomore, Fred Kelly, who had defended Columbus's legacy after protests were staged against his murals hung in a campus building.

Hannah-Jones won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in May for her "1619 Project" on the legacy of slavery in the United States. It has been frequently criticized by historians for its inaccuracies, such as its claim that the American Revolution was fought primarily to preserve slavery in the colonies.

In December 2019, five distinguished American historians wrote a letter to the magazine editor, saying they were "dismayed at some of the factual errors in the project and the closed process behind it."

The "1619 Project" has also been sent as curricula to thousands of classrooms with the help of the Pulitzer Center.

Well,it cannot be denied that barbarism was an important feature of European “society” once upon a time.A thousand years ago perhaps.And then there are certain parts of the world where it can be seen today.Africa...certain Chicago neighborhoods...

The Country is caught up in a fever of racism that I haven’t ever seen in my lifetime. It’s the kind of fever that justifies, even makes righteous, violence against a person based on the color of their skin. It’s hard to believe that in the twenty first century we have devolved to this point as a people.

"The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world,"

Oh yes!

Who can forget the horrid inhuman brutality of white people hacking black people to death with machetes?

Or "Necklacing" them by tying them up with a burning gasoline-soaked car tire around their neck and letting them burn to death?

Oh Wait!

That wasn't white people after all - It was "Mother Of The Necklace" Winnie Mandela, black idol of stupid white liberals, and her gangs of murdering black leftists.

“...and, yet, most of the successful black people move to a white neighborhood.”

And illegals the world-over flood into countries created by and filled with those terrible “barbarian” whites, often at risk to themselves to get there. People vote with their feet; that’s how you really know how they feel about white civilization, regardless of what hateful, absurd things some say to be incendiary.

“The descendants of these savage people pump drugs and guns into the Black community.”

It is just supply and demand. And there is plenty of demand.

If white people did not pump gas and tires into their neighborhoods, none of this would happen.

It’s somewhat ironic to see a race of people who would still be living in huts made of straw and manure if not for colonialism calling a race of people who put men into space and designed computers “barbarians.”

I always ask “woke” Leftists the question: if whites are so racist and barbaric, why are non-whites coming to America and Europe by the millions? Is it because they’re masochists who like being “oppressed”?

At least Nikole Hannah-Jones has the decency NOT to steal the look of white women’s hair... the ultimate equivalent of ‘blackface’.

Wish she would talk to people in the black community about this issue - - point out wearing ‘white people’s hair’ IS the same thing as us putting on blackface. And if she asks her white friends if they object they’ll say ‘no’ because if they said ‘yes’ they could be dubbed racist and be fired.

The black community: from victim to bullies in three generations.

Very hard to believe that with the onslaught against white people, and Biden unable to defend white people, that whites will support Biden. Logically they will be more driven to Trump.

You have it backwards, FRiend. People who vote Democrat are not driven by logic.

I’m referring to whites who previously voted for Trump.

Yeah right.

What about the Mongols? probably the greatest genocide ever committed by humanity was done by them.

What about the chinese? The unification wars led to fighting with over 100,000 casualties. How many of those were fought?

What about the Central and North american indians?. The Mayans and Aztecs were genocidal maniacs that created pyramids, walls and monuments out of human skulls, so many were the dead and sacrificed.

What about the North american plains indians? The men were ‘warriors’, why? because all they did was warring and raiding other tribes to kidnap their women and horses.

What about Africa? Tribal war and raiding and slaving, to sell slaves at the slave market.

Luke 6:42 “How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye”

We all bleed the same red...take the racism out of your heart.
