Oprah Winfrey, Lionsgate Team to Bring New York Times’ ‘1619 Project’ to TV and Film
Breitbart ^ | July 08 2020 | DAVID NG

Posted on 07/08/2020 12:49:40 PM PDT by knighthawk

The New York Times’ “1619 Project” is getting the full Hollywood treatment, thanks to Lionsgate and Oprah Winfrey.

Under the deal, the controversial series of articles that sought to reframe American history around slavery will be adapted for the big and small screens — feature films, television series, documentaries, and various forms of unscripted content. Lionsgate will serve as the studio while Winfrey has come aboard as a producer.

“We took very seriously our duty to find TV and film partners that would respect and honor the work and mission of ‘The 1619 Project,’ that understood our vision and deep moral obligation to doing justice to these stories,” Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Times reporter who spearheaded the project, said in a statement to The Root, which first reported the deal.

Nice to see racist propaganda being promoted.

Can we get a remake of birth of a nation now?

Good thing Oprah didn't become a doctor.

"I think my wound is almost healed, Dr. Oprah."

"So, I see. No problem. I'll just pick that scab."

They say History is written by the Winners.

We’ve got a test case right here. Let’s see.

I’m fortunate that I don’t have any kids to yank out of a school that is hawking the America-detesting “1619 Project”.

I’ve been waiting for years for “Oprah” to renounce her US citizenship and move to Nigeria.She’d be the richest person in the country...by far...and could easily become President if she wanted to.

Let’s talk about Project 1655 when Anthony Johnson, a black man, sued in Virginia colony court to enslave John Casor, a black man, starting black slavery in the colonies.

Call it the “7th Century Project”, which is when most African kingdoms started exporting so many captured fellow-black slaves that it became their #1 export.

Well, since it’s a work of fiction, why not?

Maybe add some annoying kids and cute, funny animals for merchandising.

And when all else fails: Aliens.

We need Project 1526, to mark the start of African slavery in the current territory of the US, namely in Spanish Florida, a full 93 years before 1619.
