I am a 51 years old white man who grew up in America, went to public school & both parents were teachers and have advanced degrees in education. Majority of real & actual black history I have learned has been in the past 2-3 years. I asked my father about why this is, he explained that most, "American History", Textbooks used is all states were / are approved in TEXAS. Today I am actively educating myself in diversity black & indigenous people's history and current lives. I am disgusted by elected "leader's" lack of ability to properly overcome constant lies told by liars, Sorry dis-information. Thank you Democracy Now for doing this series. Thank you Nikole Hannah-Jones for re-framing US history the way it should have always been taught in the US.
I'm a descendant of William Penn and I can confirm he brought 2 slaves with him when he founded Pennsylvania in 1650 even though he was a member of the Society of Friends (quakers) and they believed in equality, it just shows the inherent disadvantages black ppl have always had in America going all the way back to it being the "new world"
@@5british5 shhh. dont spoil their childish view that until America came along the world was harmonious and wonderful. wouldn't want people to wake up and actually notice the enemies of all people now white black brown etc. manipulating governments everywhere to keep us all down. those with real power rather keep us fighting white vs black . and not see whats really going on.
@@joebflies huh? So he had slaves coming from England whom was participating in slavery, they went to the new world because they were being persecuted for being members of the society of friends (quakers) literally jailed bc their beliefs didn't match the crowns... what is so great about any of that?
@@pscottlivingnow my pleasure! I've learned more about our colonial history from researching my family than I ever learned in school n most of it is just.... well f'd up!
@ACC Right, that's why the 1619 project is needed. These text books tell a false history of America, yet it's taught as America's history. We need to tell the whole truth.
@@MadameLadyM The 1619 Project is revisionist history on full display. They should have asked her why she felt the need to change the prologue that was in the original editorial for the book. Short answer. The authors got caught and called out for trying to pass off baseless, revisionist history as actual history. Even the 1619 name doesn't make sense. The Spanish were bringing African slaves to what would become America as early as the 1500s. They chose 1619 so they could play up the 400 year anniversary date in 2019 when it was originally released.
@@MadameLadyM The 1619 Project isn't history. It's ideological propaganda. Some of the most highly regarded historians in the U.S. objected to the NYT in a letter, declaring the project fraudulent. It's simply a matter of fact that the U.S. war of independence wasn't fought to maintain slavery. That is an outright lie.
@@kevinboone2178 Indeed! In his highly researched 1956 book *The Peculiar Institution: Slavery In the Ante-Bellum South* UC-Berkeley History Professor Kenneth M. Stampp lists the five main traits of a slave plantation. How many can be found in today's long time Democrat run minority-majority inner cities and ghettos in cities such as Detroit, Chicago, and Baltimore? 1. Unsafe, broken down, and dilapidated housing. 2. Broken families. 3. A high degree of violence needed to keep order. 4. Everybody gets a basic provision. But nobody gets ahead. 5. Nihilism and despair. This is an intergenerational, ongoing way of life.
@@THEREALSOURCE No offense, but nothing you wrote is true as far as being unique to the USA. Chattel slavery was the usual form of enslavement in most societies that practiced slavery throughout human history. You can also look up the Code of Ur-Nammu from all the way back in 2100 BCE to see slavery being written into law. Chattel slavery still exists today by the way, mainly in Sudan and Mauritania. You can look up the story of Fatma Mint Mamadou from Mauritania, she was born into slavery just like everyone in her family for generations. Here is an excerpt about slavery in Mauritania: "These slaves are chattel. They are used for house or farm labor, for sex, and for breeding. They may be exchanged for camels, trucks, guns, or money. Children of chattel slaves remain the property of their master. Many are born into slavery and die in slavery never having experienced freedom."
@@Supermanfan99 No offense taken. If you look at my comment closely, you'll see I said the combination of those characteristics made U.S. slavery unique. If you know of a society where the combination of those characteristics was present in a slave system, then let me know. I'm willing to learn.
It's amazing that "patriotic education" doesn't sound like "state sponsored propaganda" to more people. The goal of education isn't to make loyal soldiers for the State. It's to create value.
Come to Texas and see what our kids learn in high school - garbage. Remember, the educational system's objective is to produce dumb workers, not leaders.
@@Stop-and-listen George Carlin, comedian and philosopher, pointed this out all the time. The owners of this country don't want people who are critical thinkers, they want people who are just smart enough to take and give orders, reason be damned.
Trump's words are horrifying. How can telling the truth of our sins "destroy the country?" We must learn from and correct our mistakes and learn to love much more.
Consider the person those words are coming from: a vile, vulgar, reprehensible, repulsive, poor excuse of a human being, who I refer to as the "Sh*t Stain on Humanity". This individual is opposed to telling the truth on ANY issue that does not reflect positively on him. Why should it be any surprise that he opposes a candid portrayal of American history? Moreover, this reprehensible Sh*t Stain will seize every opportunity to use any issue that is divisive and leverage it to further polarize those who support him, against the rest of us.
Hanna Jones isn't telling the truth about anything. She's blatantly lying about the founding of the US that took place in 1776 by changing history and saying it began in 1619 with the arrival of the first slaves. Furthermore, Jones and the Editors at the New York Times published educational materials later sent to schools that stated the Revolutionary War was fought SOLELY to keep slavery intact in the colonies, a lie that was vociferously refuted by war and history scholars, black and white alike.
"Can we stop with the subtle yet effective racism of victimhood mentality?" ask the people who want to live what Dr. King dreamed "NO! Because if you do that we'll be irrelevant!" say the disingenuous virtue signallers.
@ACC Slavery was a lucrative business, you can bet a war would be fought if one side thought it would come to an end. Interestingly, slave owners were given reparations when chattle slavery ended but then it give rise to other forms of slavery -- Jim Crow, and the continued systemic racism -- school to prison pipeline.
Glad to hear Reagan justly credited here, since he said while governor of California, when asked why he had cut funding for Cal State, "The more people who took those courses, the more people who came out to protest our policies, so we cut the funding for those courses." I guess that makes it all pretty clear. Also, having taken some black history courses twenty years ago, I was shocked that what I had thought of as a marginal corner of history was actually a truer statement of history than I had ever seen before, and I had earlier won awards for history in high school. As James Baldwin said, "Black history is not the history of black people, it is the history of America!" Amen. Thank you to Nikole Hannah-Jones, Democracy Now for their bravery in making these efforts to tell the truth. I see from the comment stream that this is still a very divisive controversial topic.
Yes, their code words irritate me so; that is why we cannot be distracted, and be diligent about truths, anything worth having is worth fighting for...
Black people are, & always have been, the most patriotic Americans because we fight for Democracy & the rights of all Americans harder than any other Americans. My parents lived through segregation and the mass lynchings of Black people. Yet they still believed in the greatness of this country. I do too. But I am more skeptical. I feel that America has the POTENTIAL for greatness but it has never fulfilled it. I am very disappointed that in so many ways we are still in the same place, as Black people, as we were in my parents time and will likely not get any better in my lifetime.
Thomas Paine and a very small few northerners fought against allowing slavery to be enshrined in the constitution. They lost that fight to everybody else’s greed. The man that wrote Common Sense, The Rights of Man and other seminal works was the one to pay the price for speaking out against slavery. As Chris Hedges has said “I don’t fight fascists because I’ll win, I fight fascists because they are fascists. “
@@krillin876, othering a minority group has always been a part of fascism. From European colonization to Orban in Hungary today. American slavery is one of the original forms of fascism
Thank you So much Nicole ❤❤❤we need your voice...it helped me so much when I was incarcerated....but I do not agree that we are black...we are much more
Fascinating comments below. Apologists state: "Okay...but slavery has existed everywhere in all human civilizations". True...but irrelevant. America has ALWAYS characterized itself as "exceptional"...particularly in regards to freedom and democracy. You cannot be BOTH an exceptional society...with regards to democracy and freedom...while also engaging in the exact same practices that render other societies non-democratic and unfree (i.e., genocide, human trafficking).
Its funny, I didn't understand that the left were spreading false history until I noticed their support for Afrocentric pseudo history starting with Van Sertima. Dumb fucks
Um, Republicans didn't start the hissy fit. The commies over at World Socialist Web Site contacted REAL historians to refute what the hack journalists at the New York Times concocted as "true history". Again, you've been bullshitted.
Am currenlty reading The 1619 Project now and I thank Nikole Hannah-Jones and everyone else who contributed to this! Our history needs to be known! And I'm a more proud to have discovered that Mrs. Hannah-Jones is from my hometown of Waterloo Iowa! Born the same year as myself as well!
While watching The 1619 Project , I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would most undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.
I couldn't have said it better. This is why my wife and I have chosen to sell our home in the suburbs to move to MLK Blvd in the urban core of our city. The people there are so accepting of caucasian people there.
This is our history, American history but along with the shame is redemption and victory which says the human beings taken against their will to the America's left everything behind except their humanity and the culture which sustain them.
Hello, Nikole, just need for you to realize how inspiring you are for undertaking a work that has been such a struggle for so many alleged blacks for so many years. i feel that I should be visibly and verbally working along with you and others as well. Sorry but my lack of status prevents that from happening. However, my prayers are with you, and I do plan to get the book. Be encouraged!
Hi Leslie. You do not have "lack of status", or need it, to do the work. You have status by simply waking up each day! Start by educating yourself and everyone around you about the vital history in the 1619 and other texts about Black history. I also feel we should start 1619 family clubs in out communities to reach these vital teachings. We can ALL do that.
Much Gratitude For Uncovering The Facts About The Racist History Right Here In The United States 👉🏽 In A Country That Claims To Be About Freedom Justice And Equality. Thank You Nikole Hannah Jones And Democracy Now For Bringing This Truth Forward To The World. Peace
This country is about that except Marxist like Nicole want to destroy the good we have for the greed and narcissism and power hungry socialist Marxist THIEVES on the left. 1619 Project is mostly trash lies, distortions intentional omission of easily verifyable facts for the political agenda of Marxist Socialist seeking more power.

You've been had. She is a fraud, and worse, she's a vindictive and hateful racist. Her "Project" was motivated by petty insecurities about living in a majority white country and not getting the attention every vain young woman secretly desires from their culture. Her desire for every black school child to meditate on the centrality of victimization of blacks as the story of the U.S. is a catastrophic lie that will only keep blacks at the bottom, angry and vengeful. The U.S. wasn't founded merely to keep slavery alive. Such an idea couldn't be more hateful or lowly. Her work has been roundly criticized as a fantasy by real historians (some of whom were black, since that's all you race-obsessed liberals seem to care about).

19:38 This moment in America’s history is the fruit of the Reagan counter-revolution that began in 1980. That counter-revolution made possible the State enforcing the interests of a particular class and not the interest of all.
The Reagan counter-revolution began way before 1980, it began in the 1970's when he was governor of California, one of the biggest buyers of textbooks worldwide. He famously said on television, when asked why he had cut funding for socio-psychology and political science courses at Cal State, "The more people who took those courses, the more people who came out to protest our policies, so we cut the funding for those courses." I guess that makes it all pretty clear.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA (HAMPTON) ATTENDED ALL SEGREGATED SCHOOLS UNTIL WE INTEGRATED HAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL IN 1963, OUR TEACHERS AND PARENTS WERE VERY AWARE OF THE HISTORY OF 1619. WE WERE IN FACT TAUGHT IN THE HOME AND WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. AT THE AGE OF 74 YEARS OLD, I AM SHOCKED THAT MOST AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE VERY IGNORANT OF OUR OWN HISTORY.
What about the african americans who owned slaves? They didn’t seem to see a problem so why are we only talking about white people not seeing a problem? Seems like anybody could have done what white people did if they were in their position.
@@Achilles22098 Your comment is so silly and it is a reflection of your ill education. Sometimes rich Jews bequeathed their property to slaves out of repentance.

Thanks Nicole! You are a tough sweet cookie. I had the pleasure to ‘rub elbows’ when employed in the Legal Dept in 2019. The project was in it’s final works and was shared online with NYT employees. The stories and graphics of our history she shared is absolutely astonishing! I must get a copy of the book. Hope to get it autographed. ☺️ I got an autographed copy of David’s book while working in Legal. He called me a “Light in the Legal Dept.” 😎😊
2 books that helped me to be a decent American were Roots & Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. I would like to find historical books that promote Hispanic ppls, Oriental ppls, Eastern Indian ppls, etc. America is a melting pot. We MUST do better with history & prevention against racism.
The democrats don't teach history. World history is important. I'm 62.5 American Indian, and Hispanic,that's for the racist. But I'm an American, we are all the same in GOD'S eyes. We all have the same gifts from GOD. If you're a farmer, you will reap the harvest of your work. If you put in the work you get the results. In Asians work hard in the education of their children, that's why they are kicking our butts. It's not that the American Indian, the blacks, the Hispanics can't learn. It's that we just don't put in the effort like they do. They shouldn't lower their standards too make us feel good about ourselves. We should put in the work too their level.

There are also Asian's who don't succeed, but the emphasis in the media is on the ones who do. Racists perpetrate those stereotypes to their benefit. To make it seem like Black people are the problem when it is really the ruling elite who is the problem, and to divide and conquer the middle and lower classes, when we should be working together. The ruling elite are the real problem when they don't pay a livable wage when their salaries skyrocket, when schools in certain neighborhoods are not funded properly, and with automation, and AI more people will be struggling to find jobs because they have been erased by machines. All of the people that believe those stereotypes need to realize that they are untrue and realize that the ruling elite want you to believe that to keep us divided and fighting for crumbs, while they take the whole pie.
Didn't the author of roots come out and claim he wanted to give his people a "fable" to inspire. Just like 1619 its falsifying history for comfort. Its disgusting
Suppressing the truth of evil and wicked behavior from the past, Would only modernize evil and wicked behavior in the present, The unfortunate cycle of hate will continue.
The 1619 Project is not the shining pinnacle of American history education that some of its more enthusiastic proponents apparently think, nor is it the scurrilous propaganda intended to sew hatred for America its more febrile detractors claim. It's just an interpretation of our complex history, one of many that make debate on the subject interesting, dynamic, and worthwhile.
The premise that black history has been erased from history is just not correct. I got all of this in my history class. The legacy of slavery is ONE component that has shaped our country among a number of components. To treat it like it is the only component is just not correct.
Richard Wright wrote Native Son to understand how long people of color had been oppressed in this country. The 1619 project continue to be a part of America's history.
Black people should pull their children from these schools and demand their property tax that goes to these schools be stopped and given back to them for use in educating their children in schools they approve of, schools that teach real history.
How would Nikole Hannah-jones stand to the idea to abolish the categorization by race in public documents, job applications, etc? - It's relatively unique to the USA. At least in most European countries, including Germany (which is where I come from), you don't get asked for your race, and when I arrived here in 1989 I was surprised to find out that I have to mark myself as "caucasian".
I used to advocate for identifying as American. Race is a social construct. Nikole Hannah- Jones has not to my knowledge addressed historical inaccuracies alleged by several prominent historians. She seems not open to feedback or it could be a haughty sense of superiority, IDK. The 1619 Project was awesome and I encouraged people to read and research the info. But I offended Hannah-Jones by asking how could she sing the praises of Liz Cheney for denouncing Trump and 1/6. Cheney voted 95% of the time with TRUMP policies.
@@MsKimmie41 maybe I’m an advocate for accepting feedback and learning the truth. My thoughts are consistent. 1/ 1619 Project brought historical facts into present day discussion 2/ accuracies are important 3/ 1/6 and it’s implications are an ongoing coup 4/ because Liz Cheney denounces Trump and the insurrection that’s all good to hold Republicans accountable 5/ it doesn’t erase Cheney’s record for voting yes 95% of the time for Trump’s agenda 6/ this Country has many issues that we have to deal with on all levels. These are my thoughts only. 7/ Hannah-Jones defense of teaching accurate Black history in schools , isn’t enough for me.
I will always quote the words of my departed father Rasta man Glen Judah growing up “History, His story for it is not our story it’s his story.” I’d find myself parroting my fathers words during history class at school that’s his story referencing the white mans history to which I would add “what about our story?” I was told that my story my peoples history wasn’t part of the school’s curriculum. “Ohh, but the enslavement of my people is part of your school’s curriculum…”I’d usually got told to be quiet 🤫 or summarily kicked out of the lesson for been disruptive. But the truth of our history can only be hidden and locked away for so long. And what the 1926 project has done is opened the doors to the truth and not to the flight of white superiority fantasy.
@Viking you must be talking about yourself my man. You’re upset I get it the lies you were taught growing up that you Mazungu were the next best great thing since sliced bread. But you’re still unable to come up with coherent explanation as to what makes me a white suprematist??? Instead you resort to elementary school level agreement to try and illicit a reaction.
I hate referencing this man but it’ll have to surffice you see when Europe sent their people out to the new world they didn’t send their best and their brightest. No, no, no they sent thieves, murderers and rapist. And the sentence I just used came from the mouth a liar a con man and accused rapist and known bigot and racist who claimed that he won the 2020 election.

You really believe that slavery will be repeated? You don’t have faith of humanity in others? That’s what MLK believed. That children are innocent and morale so if inequalities and oppression is shown through peaceful protest then people will eventually listen because the kids will grow up and see the injustices. It’s when you become neurotic or silent that people stop listening. Calling all white people racist is neurotic because the statement itself is hypocritical and that’s what CRT tries to make a fact.

Themes of CRT as listed in "Critical Race Theory: An Annotated Bibliography" by Delgado and Stefancic: 1. Critique of liberalism 2. Storytelling/"naming one's own reality" 3. Revisionist interpretations of American civil rights law and progress (1619 project; anti-incrementalism) 4. Greater understanding of the underpinnings of race and racism ("systemic" racism found everywhere they look) 5. Structural Determinism (where anti-meritocracy comes from) 6. Race, sex, class and their intersections ("intersectionality"/queer theory) 7. Essentialism and anti-essentialism (identity politics) 8. Cultural nationalism/separatism (including "black insurrection")
There are subversive tactics that people (teachers, students, and parents) can employ to wait out this insanity, which will eventually subside. Teachers need to encourage students and parents to weaponize their First Amendment rights for some "guided" independent study at home, work that satisfies, in part or in whole, academic obligations at school.

Nicole Hannah-Jones book cuts to the core of the modern debate around what education is for and how it is done. This isn't just about an alternate historical narrative, historical accuracy, or broadening instructional content. Discussing the substantial academic support for assertions made in 1619, she says, "What seemed to provoke so much ire was that we had breached the wall between academic history and popular understanding," (1619, xxv-xxvi). School book histories are traditionally about a foundation myth that explains who we are and why we are a nation. This is politics, not history. Modern approaches to curriculum move away from indoctrination and towards inquiry to lay this question before students to answerit critically, using the tools and resources we all share. History is inquiry and debate, not holy writ. Hannah-Jones quotes Douglass saying, "The masters, to tell their story, had at call all the talent and genius that wealth and influence could command.

1619? How about 1492 and those POW’s who arrived in Virginia where from the Caribbean NOT Africa. So called Black African American etc are First Nation people.
Wow!!!!! Much Respect 🙏 the first comment that knows fully what really happened. You took the words right out of my mouth,I too knew that the first so called Slaves came from the Caribbean,, but the only way that you would know this is to do you homework, fact check,,,,it's like Ms Jones Didn't fully do her research, just grabbed traditional white history for her foundation and created 1619. She Slightly dropped the ball, not to mentioned we were already here in America, 96% of us, which did incounter slavery as well.

Short answer. The authors got caught and called out for trying to pass off baseless, revisionist history as actual history. Even the 1619 name doesn't make sense. The Spanish were bringing African slaves to what would become America as early as the 1500s. They chose 1619 so they could play up the 400 year anniversary date in 2019 when it was originally released.
Way to summarize history in the most idiotic way possible.
@@MadameLadyM The 1619 Project isn't history. It's ideological propaganda. Some of the most highly regarded historians in the U.S. objected to the NYT in a letter, declaring the project fraudulent.

@@carlyking9234 True!
@@THEREALSOURCE No offense, but nothing you wrote is true as far as being unique to the USA. Chattel slavery was the usual form of enslavement in most societies that practiced slavery throughout human history. You can also look up the Code of Ur-Nammu from all the way back in 2100 BCE to see slavery being written into law. Chattel slavery still exists today by the way, mainly in Sudan and Mauritania. You can look up the story of Fatma Mint Mamadou from Mauritania, she was born into slavery just like everyone in her family for generations. Here is an excerpt about slavery in Mauritania:
"These slaves are chattel. They are used for house or farm labor, for sex, and for breeding. They may be exchanged for camels, trucks, guns, or money. Children of chattel slaves remain the property of their master. Many are born into slavery and die in slavery never having experienced freedom."
@@Supermanfan99 No offense taken. If you look at my comment closely, you'll see I said the combination of those characteristics made U.S. slavery unique. If you know of a society where the combination of those characteristics was present in a slave system, then let me know. I'm willing to learn.

Facts
Hanna Jones isn't telling the truth about anything. She's blatantly lying about the founding of the US that took place in 1776 by changing history and saying it began in 1619 with the arrival of the first slaves. Furthermore, Jones and the Editors at the New York Times published educational materials later sent to schools that stated the Revolutionary War was fought SOLELY to keep slavery intact in the colonies, a lie that was vociferously refuted by war and history scholars, black and white alike.

@ACC Slavery was a lucrative business, you can bet a war would be fought if one side thought it would come to an end.

Yet Asians are excelling
Glad to hear Reagan justly credited here, since he said while governor of California, when asked why he had cut funding for Cal State, "The more people who took those courses, the more people who came out to protest our policies, so we cut the funding for those courses." I guess that makes it all pretty clear. Also, having taken some black history courses twenty years ago, I was shocked that what I had thought of as a marginal corner of history was actually a truer statement of history than I had ever seen before, and I had earlier won awards for history in high school. As James Baldwin said, "Black history is not the history of black people, it is the history of America!" Amen.

@@stephr9859 And you know but they don't? That is impossible.
Black people are, & always have been, the most patriotic Americans because we fight for Democracy & the rights of all Americans harder than any other Americans. My parents lived through segregation and the mass lynchings of Black people. Yet they still believed in the greatness of this country.
I do too. But I am more skeptical. I feel that America has the POTENTIAL for greatness but it has never fulfilled it. I am very disappointed that in so many ways we are still in the same place, as Black people, as we were in my parents time and will likely not get any better in my lifetime.
Thomas Paine and a very small few northerners fought against allowing slavery to be enshrined in the constitution. They lost that fight to everybody else’s greed. The man that wrote Common Sense, The Rights of Man and other seminal works was the one to pay the price for speaking out against slavery. As Chris Hedges has said “I don’t fight fascists because I’ll win, I fight fascists because they are fascists. “
Jefferson wanted to abolish slavery but it was entrenched by that point. He knew there would eventually be a war to end it.
Chris Hedges is MLK incarnate to the tenth power, because he says what MLK could not.

America has ALWAYS characterized itself as "exceptional"...particularly in regards to freedom and democracy. You cannot be BOTH an exceptional society...with regards to democracy and freedom...while also engaging in the exact same practices that render other societies non-democratic and unfree (i.e., genocide, human trafficking).
It's funny, I didn't start trying to learn about the 1619 project until republicans made a hissy fit over it.

Studying history, can have a prophetic dimension!
While watching The 1619 Project , I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would most undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.

That counter-revolution made possible the State enforcing the interests of a particular class and not the interest of all.
The Reagan counter-revolution began way before 1980, it began in the 1970's when he was governor of California, one of the biggest buyers of textbooks worldwide. He famously said on television, when asked why he had cut funding for socio-psychology and political science courses at Cal State, "The more people who took those courses, the more people who came out to protest our policies, so we cut the funding for those courses."

Asian's do work hard and excel, but African American and Latino people do also, but the emphasis in the media is on the ones that don't. There are also Asian's who don't succeed, but the emphasis in the media is on the ones who do. Racists perpetrate those stereotypes to their benefit. To make it seem like Black people are the problem when it is really the ruling elite who is the problem, and to divide and conquer the middle and lower classes, when we should be working together. The ruling elite are the real problem when they don't pay a livable wage when their salaries skyrocket, when schools in certain neighborhoods are not funded properly, and with automation, and AI more people will be struggling to find jobs because they have been erased by machines. All of the people that believe those stereotypes need to realize that they are untrue and realize that the ruling elite want you to believe that to keep us divided and fighting for crumbs, while they take the whole pie.
Didn't the author of roots come out and claim he wanted to give his people a "fable" to inspire. Just like 1619 its falsifying history for comfort. Its disgusting
Suppressing the truth of evil and wicked behavior from the past, Would only modernize evil and wicked behavior in the present, The unfortunate cycle of hate will continue.
The 1619 Project is not the shining pinnacle of American history education that some of its more enthusiastic proponents apparently think, nor is it the scurrilous propaganda intended to sew hatred for America its more febrile detractors claim. It's just an interpretation of our complex history, one of many that make debate on the subject interesting, dynamic, and worthwhile.
Str8 facts
The premise that black history has been erased from history is just not correct. I got all of this in my history class. The legacy of slavery is ONE component that has shaped our country among a number of components. To treat it like it is the only component is just not correct.
All of what? That Blacks were enslaved? That's not all of Black history, shows how uneducated you are.
THE REBELLION IS HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SISTER NIKOLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Richard Wright wrote Native Son to understand how long people of color had been oppressed in this country. The 1619 project continue to be a part of America's history.
I applaud her effort .

Black people should pull their children from these schools and demand their property tax that goes to these schools be stopped and given back to them for use in educating their children in schools they approve of, schools that teach real history.
How would Nikole Hannah-jones stand to the idea to abolish the categorization by race in public documents, job applications, etc? - It's relatively unique to the USA. At least in most European countries, including Germany (which is where I come from), you don't get asked for your race, and when I arrived here in 1989 I was surprised to find out that I have to mark myself as "caucasian".
I used to advocate for identifying as American. Race is a social construct. Nikole Hannah-
Jones has not to my knowledge addressed historical inaccuracies alleged by several prominent historians. She seems not open to feedback or it could be a haughty sense of superiority, IDK. The 1619 Project was awesome and I encouraged people to read and research the info. But I offended Hannah-Jones by asking how could she sing the praises of Liz Cheney for denouncing Trump and 1/6. Cheney voted 95% of the time with TRUMP policies.
@@jerzecandy she actually doesn't speak for us, neither does BLM. She is a careerists and grifter, but if she changes some minds along the way.....
@@jerzecandy why ❓❓❓❓❓cognitive dissonance is what y’all suffer from lol
@@MsKimmie41 maybe I’m an advocate for accepting feedback and learning the truth. My thoughts are consistent. 1/ 1619 Project brought historical facts into present day discussion
2/ accuracies are important
3/ 1/6 and it’s implications are an ongoing coup
4/ because Liz Cheney denounces Trump and the insurrection that’s all good to hold Republicans accountable
5/ it doesn’t erase Cheney’s record for voting yes 95% of the time for Trump’s agenda
6/ this Country has many issues that we have to deal with on all levels.
These are my thoughts only.
7/ Hannah-Jones defense of teaching accurate Black history in schools , isn’t enough for me.
I will always quote the words of my departed father Rasta man Glen Judah growing up “History, His story for it is not our story it’s his story.” I’d find myself parroting my fathers words during history class at school that’s his story referencing the white mans history to which I would add “what about our story?” I was told that my story my peoples history wasn’t part of the school’s curriculum. “Ohh, but the enslavement of my people is part of your school’s curriculum…”I’d usually got told to be quiet 🤫 or summarily kicked out of the lesson for been disruptive.
But the truth of our history can only be hidden and locked away for so long.
And what the 1926 project has done is opened the doors to the truth and not to the flight of white superiority fantasy.
@Viking 😂 😆 😂 😆 how did you come up with that deduction please articulate that for me…
How so explain yourself, you keep repeating yourself are you a parrot??? Yet you’ve failed to articulate yourself how I’m white suprematist???
@Viking you must be talking about yourself my man. You’re upset I get it the lies you were taught growing up that you Mazungu were the next best great thing since sliced bread. But you’re still unable to come up with coherent explanation as to what makes me a white suprematist??? Instead you resort to elementary school level agreement to try and illicit a reaction.
I hate referencing this man but it’ll have to surffice you see when Europe sent their people out to the new world they didn’t send their best and their brightest. No, no, no they sent thieves, murderers and rapist. And the sentence I just used came from the mouth a liar a con man and accused rapist and known bigot and racist who claimed that he won the 2020 election. Would he be considered a white suprematist???
Thank your lucky stars you are living in a majority white country.
Ms. Jones you are a great journalist.
Journalists is a reach. Race hustler. Yes
Does the 1619 project also have a website, blog, etc? I'm reading Nikole Hannah's Jones' books. She is such an inspiration to me. Putting real facts and history into the light of day!
Nope. She is a propagandist. She refuses to debate US history with people who know more about US history than her.
@@Seekthetruth3000 fragile racist man child much
When you're done you should go read the rebuttals from actual historians. There were very few scholars of the time periods they were writing about that worked on the 1619 project.
@Viking Why do you think so?
@@Seekthetruth3000 No she is not........ and 1619 is growing legs all across the globe thanks to Mr Trump...who thinks he can shut down her voice down! He is using LAWS to control our memory!
The fact that Aubbry is being hunted, it is an intentional for those Criminals suppremacist to kill him.
Aubrey was a fleeing felon; they had every right to make a citizen's arrest and he attacked them and now he's dead.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 you are a darn liar. How did he attack them when they were the ones that initiated the attack? What felon did he commit? He was jogging and stopped at a housing project, a project that the owner of the project said people stopped and looked at all the time. Aubery then continued jogging after looking and the Mcmichaels chased him down and killed him. If a set of men run up on you with a gun your natural reaction is going to be self defense. The video is right before your eyes and you are saying he attacked the men.
I bet many like you will say Rittenhouse defended himself. But Aubery who was unarmed was chased and killed and blamed for attacking those men. Hypocrite
Better also tell them ‘turks used slaves too’ is no excuse. Chinese and Indians abolished slavery way earlier.
For anyone who would like to know more about the 1619 slaves, I would recommend the works of John Thronton and Linda Haywood.
Anna Nicole's 1619 project is sufficient enough.
@@jamberry8026 for you.
@@developmentcom you're reading all those lies that has been told about your history.
@@developmentcom For New York Times too. 😃
@@jamberry8026 Lies? John Thorton and Linda Haywood's book talk about where the 1619 slaves come from, Angola. I think they're enlightening because they don't keep black history in the myopic American point of view, but rather ask questions on the broader global narrative.
I am a white 57 yo male. I am a racist. I never believed in the overt racism I experienced growing up. I am wholely egalitarian. But I do catch myself being racist despite my firm anti racist philosophy. Racism is so embedded into the fabric of society that even though those who of us who are diametrically opposed to it still don't see it until we unexpectedly discover it in our thoughts, words, actions and beliefs. This is why CRT is so important. This is why fully understanding true history is essential to ending racism. Everyone who tries to suppress CRT and claim racism no longer exists betray the human condition and its potential.

You really believe that slavery will be repeated? You don’t have faith of humanity in others? That’s what MLK believed. That children are innocent and morale so if inequalities and oppression is shown through peaceful protest then people will eventually listen because the kids will grow up and see the injustices. It’s when you become neurotic or silent that people stop listening. Calling all white people racist is neurotic because the statement itself is hypocritical and that’s what CRT tries to make a fact.

Fighting critical race Theory IS Fighting thye TRUTH NOT right NOT wrong JUST history
Themes of CRT as listed in "Critical Race Theory: An Annotated Bibliography" by Delgado and Stefancic:
1. Critique of liberalism
2. Storytelling/"naming one's own reality"
3. Revisionist interpretations of American civil rights law and progress (1619 project; anti-incrementalism)
4. Greater understanding of the underpinnings of race and racism ("systemic" racism found everywhere they look)
5. Structural Determinism (where anti-meritocracy comes from)
6. Race, sex, class and their intersections ("intersectionality"/queer theory)
7. Essentialism and anti-essentialism (identity politics)
8. Cultural nationalism/separatism (including "black insurrection")
9. Hatred of white people.
You could've left innacurate definitions to yourself
There are subversive tactics that people (teachers, students, and parents) can employ to wait out this insanity, which will eventually subside. Teachers need to encourage students and parents to weaponize their First Amendment rights for some "guided" independent study at home, work that satisfies, in part or in whole, academic obligations at school.
Well spoken.

We don't need to keep hearing about a slave history but they never want to pass the reparations so what's the need in teaching critical race if there isn't any justice incuded
And reparations in the form just of money? Need also to be a true coming together if people. People of other races need justice too.
@@jenniferhampton5171 it's our money Black Americans Aboriginal money and they seem so quick to hand it out to people who came for refuge but it's our money and they don't even invest it in us
@@jenniferhampton5171 they just gave Afghanistan people money and money to count fish in Mexico but soon as Black people start asking for our money them they start calling it a hand out but it's our money and it's the people at the border who asking for hand outs but America owes the Black American Aboriginals a debt so that's a debt owed that needs to be paid and it ain't a hand out
Nicole Hannah-Jones book cuts to the core of the modern debate around what education is for and how it is done. This isn't just about an alternate historical narrative, historical accuracy, or broadening instructional content. Discussing the substantial academic support for assertions made in 1619, she says, "What seemed to provoke so much ire was that we had breached the wall between academic history and popular understanding," (1619, xxv-xxvi).
School book histories are traditionally about a foundation myth that explains who we are and why we are a nation. This is politics, not history. Modern approaches to curriculum move away from indoctrination and towards inquiry to lay this question before students to answerit critically, using the tools and resources we all share. History is inquiry and debate, not holy writ.
Hannah-Jones quotes Douglass saying, "The masters, to tell their story, had at call all the talent and genius that wealth and influence could command. They have had their full day in court. Literature, theology, philosophy, law and learning have come willingly to their service, and if condemned, they have not been condemmed unheard. [Our part] has been to tell the story of the slave". (1619, xxviii).
Well said. Thank you for this.
"reframes history" You mean ignores and falsifies right?
Ms Jones Thank You so very much.
Bozo must have been a hit with the black

Can we get her on here with someone like Adolph Reed, James Oakes, Walter Benn Michaels, or any other Leftist historian to counter and critique some of the claims she's made? I get tired of people saying it just Right Wingers criticizing her, there are plenty of academics on the Left who disagree with her too.

NOT Africa. So called Black African American etc are First Nation people.
Wow!!!!! Much Respect 🙏 the first comment that knows fully what really happened.
You took the words right out of my mouth,I too knew that the first so called Slaves came from the Caribbean,, but the only way that you would know this is to do you homework, fact check,,,,it's like Ms Jones Didn't fully do her research, just grabbed traditional white history for her foundation and created 1619.
She Slightly dropped the ball, not to mentioned we were already here in America, 96% of us, which did incounter slavery as well.
Much Respect " Jason D"
