If the establishment prevents the 1619 Project from being incorporated into the school system, Black parents please get it for yourselves and your children. We need to know this information!!! Ms. Hannah-Jones, you are brilliant and we THANK YOU!!!
You know I think about the stuff the African Americans go through in this country and I have determined yes black children need to know their history but white children need to know our history even more! Because they are being lied to they don't know our contributions and especially they don't know what we go through on a daily basis they are the ones that need to learn about our contributions to this country as much as we need to learn about our contributions to this country it's not what the Republicans try to make it out to be you know make them feel bad about themselves it's not that at all
@@davidshareefChTPhD that is exactly the purpose of 1619 - shame whites into feeling bad about themselves. I have no problem learning history and in fact I find it enjoyable. But 1619 is a unique phenomenon that is only found in the Industrialzed West . That phenomenon is a revolution to dismantle the foundation myths and traditions of the culture in order for it to be replaced. This is very different from objectively learning history. These are political objectives that are carried out under the guise of learning true history. Unfortunately many have and will be deceived by Jones and others of her ilk. If we want to discuss the Trans Atlantic trade and the settling of this country let's do objectively without political agendas. History is a written and sometimes oral record of the past. It has been said that history is written by the winners. That is generally true. Jones and 1619 is an attempt to rewrite that history as part of a cultural revolution.
In fairness, he does that A LOT and it's a terrible interview tactic. Even though he's moderating a news show in with time constraints, he does a poor job off following up, transitioning etc
"Lots of our historical understanding has changed" due to the emergence of undisputable truths which keep emerging amidst perpetual lies and miseducation. Thank you Nikole Hannah-Jones for being one of the "truth-seekers."
I’m willing to bet anything that she didn’t write this herself. This is part of the Floyd psyop triggered revolution ... that is being effected by WEF of Klaus Schwab, Obama the high priest of the Woke, all Marxists worldwide ( solidarity ✊🏾 ), the turncoat Deep State, etc. She’s just a pretty face that’s fronting the Propaganda, à’la AOC.

@@justmyopinion9883 No. It's called plain stupidity and ignorance because like most useful idiots in the Pravda media , and Democrats in general, don't study the ISSUES and READ.
She is brilliant to say the least. She read those questions like books and pointed out the biases in even the smallest of phrases used to question her information. Many Americans wouldn't catch on to half of his suggestive wording which, on it's own, harbors a separation of parents by race. I perceived absolutely no malice on his end, yet he was devicive in speech. I think this is a great example of why banning books and writing history from a single perspective is leading us towards authoritarianism. Many of the regressive laws we see passing today seem to be television fodder to distract from the big picture which is that America can afford billions on a whim to a country on the other side of the planet, yet even the chosen Democrat of the DNC refuses to truly address the inequities of his own country.. Listen, we know republican representatives are going to be willing to end the world to stay in power. You would too if you had to lie, cheat and steal to pervail amongst liars, cheaters and thieves. Their role will not change. Bernie would have created that polar opposite position. A man who walked with King is not only still alive, but offered the rest of his life to equality and we let the news quiet his fight, This station was no different. I can only attribute this to your collective lack of multiple historical perspectives.
She dispelled all the bs he tried to pass along. Especially the uniqueness of Chattel Slavery in the Americas and the ensuing present condition of Africans here in America. But there are so many more lies not being told as well. She is very astute in clarifying her points on this matter.

Thank you for sharing this interview with Nikole Hannah-Jones. She is phenomenal. Absolutely brilliant. If you haven't read "The 1619 Project" please do.
ive purchased this book from a black, female-owned bookstore while visiting Chicago, named, "Semicolon." i also downloaded it on Audible to listen to in my car. Either format is outstanding. i so appreciate the work that Nicole Hannah-Jones put into this masterpiece.
it is false narrative. the idea of "slave auction" was proposed by African American consultants to show what slavery was like, and the consultants made money off it.
They should be teaching kids about ALL slavery history, including when Africans would own other Africans as slaves in Ancient times, and when the Moors owned Caucasian slaves.
Freudian slip Mr. Todd, "white parents v parent of color" or expressed belief. Very valid point, if these parents are capable in all areas of study to teach their children why send them to school? So, the question becomes why they don't want their children to learn about true history of this land?
"So, the question becomes why they don't want their children to learn about true history of this land?" Which is the typical liberal retort. I wonder if the modern American liberal is a troll, obtuse, or just bad with English. The slave trade, racism, MLK Jr, Jim Crow, and related topics are taught in today's schools. No one has a problem with that. When CRT is taught, some people are objecting to it, explaining explicitly why, and the modern American left goes "why don't you want kids learning history?" Not just this topic... EVERY topic. Tell a modern American liberal "I'm against illegial immigrantion," and they will oftne reply with "Why do you hate immigrants?" or "We are all immigrants!" SSDD from the far left cult that has polluted and perverted liberalism.
She acknowledged that 1619 is not a history account. It is a historical perspective. Her feelings manifested into writing. Please stop saying it is accurate.
I am no fan of Chuck Todd, but he pretty much asked Hannah-Jones all the correct questions. Hannah-Jones is just the latest in a long line of race baiters trying to make a buck off of America's history. America is not perfect, but it is always seeking to improve, despite people like this woman who continue to try to drag us back into the past and claim she is a victim.

Are you speaking about the banning of books written by Toni Morrison? Yes American history NEEDS to be rewritten to reflect the TRUTH. She just stated her book is banned in Georgia and Florida. I learned from Chuck Todd while watching this segment of MTP about the The Ax Handle Massacre in Jacksonville Florida in 1960. Why is that?🤔 The nation and the world learned about Greenwood on it's 100th Anniversary. Why is that? Whitewashed American History

AND THAT HISTORY WAS WRITTEN BY A NATIVE AMERICAN WHO'S ANCESTORS WITNESSED IT . LETS GO BURN HIS BOOKS AS WELL .
Ms. Hannah Jones, you made very brilliant responses to the moderator on the 1619 project. I now understand the goal and the mission of the 1619 project and why it should be taught in schools. As Americans, we never want to admit to our past wrong deeds.
I want to read "The 1619 Project", I know it will be a great book. I am so happy that Nikole Hannah-Jones got this conversation started. Our history has never been honestly told. I hope every African-American reads this book.
@@alexandrajackson8498 there is whitewashed history and then there is NHJ’s version. I would call NHJ’s version an overcorrection that is equally as biased. If we want children to truly learn to think critically we should teach them that racism and oppression have and still continue to exist. However we should not tell them to look at racism and oppression as the only explanation behind very complex societal problems-that is the definition of teaching kids *how* to think.
@@gravitytwo4088 is it like using an online alias other than your "historical" name on an online platform to safely hide your own personal Interpretation? What exactly is "reimagined" in your opinion?
Chuck Todd is an intellectual light weight and more concerned with his millions and putting on a show. Put her in front of a real journalist she'd fold like a lawn chair. It's nbc, not exactly a conservative bastion.
Like you believing in “happy” slaves, “kind” slave masters, and that the Civil War wasn’t fought to settle the question of whether America would be a slave holding nation but had nothing to do with slavery but was fought for “state’s rights?” Thanks for stopping by my comment, Smegma, and go read something besides Facebook.
@@worthyone01102 they’re not teaching American history. She’s teaching lies, and the NYT already admitted that the 1619 project was revisionist history that she made up herself. You people are gullible
Nope, it's fantasy. She's even admitted it. Which is fine as long as it's disclosed as fantasy, because it's a free country, as the saying goes. But she and her clan are teaching this as FACT and it not.
Seems Nikole & i had to take a Breath at the same time before she answered Chuck's.....queries 🧐 my Honest opinion of Todd in general much less specifically on this interview would probably get me banned 🤨 Gratitude for Nikole's intellectual fortitude to respond in ways that clarify & make the Ancestors proud ✍🏽💐💜

@@cecilhayden585 explain how she isn't a black supremacist? she wants white kids to feel bad about being white, despite having nothing to do with slavery...that is like saying a blk kid should feel bad because of some blk serial killer or whatever...how is that right?

@@worthyone01102 Except universities are extremely ideological, and teachers are increasingly carrying this ideology into the classroom. How do I know?

Everyone suffers.
Great interview. I love that she spoke the truth about the majority of teachers are not attempting to make white students/European American student internalized the past deeds of racism in the United States. I think teaching the truth about racism in past helps to stop it from continuing into our future and the same applys to the history about ALL the additional categories of people discriminated against.
I would agree, if that is what CRT was teaching. Either you sugar-coated it to make it seem legitimate or you are not aware of what CRT is really teaching. Very sad times when politicians think brainwashing children Into fallacies outweighs the right of a parent to determine what their children Learn.
@@SH-nv6cm CRT is not being taught in grade or high schools. It is part of the curriculum of certain college courses. It's just another right wing boogeyman that doesn't exist to make you frightened of the "other" get over it!
@@billyboy1093 You are 100% incorrect. Even Winsome Sears Lieutenant Governor of West Virginia whom once served on the Board of Education attested to the teachings of radicalized CRT in grade schools. Beyond that, there are plenty other grade school districts where teachers openly speak on the teachings of CRT in their classrooms. "The worst thing you can tell a Republican is a lie, the worst thing you can tell a liberal is the truth" sit on that.
CRT started back in the 70 ties introduced by a black female Harvard law student but 30 years on corporate media has weaponized it to place fear in folk. This isn't a new topic in America but for this generation it is. Google behind the scenes produced by the daily show and hear the atty in her own words
Begging your pardon, crt is not the 1619 project. It is an American history class. CRT is a college level class taught by law professors. Please look it up.

Hannah-Jones is brilliant. She says professional teachers are best equipped to teach American history, and she is right. As a high school history teacher your job is to tell all of America's story--and that includes Indigenous peoples and African Americans, from the very beginning; other groups as we drove into their territories, such as Hispanics; and immigrants from around the globe, including Asian-Americans. Women's history is everyone's history, too. Did you know that the first women to be "sold" as brides in America came on that first ship with Africans for sale in 1619? They were auctioned off just like the slaves, to pay their passage, by becoming wives or indentured servants. It's a big responsibility to show students a fuller picture of America. Yet virtually all of my students became prouder of their country after their year of American History, not ashamed of it. They discovered that even when America hasn't lived up to Jefferson's statement that all men are created equal. we continually strive, even with setbacks, toward this founding ideal. America's is an ongoing story, one of great hope, as my students were allowed to discover for themselves. That's why you need real history teachers to teach and design the curriculum. And don't get me started on trying to cover all of American History in just two classes, all that most high schools require.
I think the bit that confuses me is I’m pretty sure I was taught in my public high school that slavery was not only a part of the US during the signing of the declaration but that the signers of the declaration did so *knowing* about the obvious contradiction between the declaration and slavery. After all… I always remember the scene from the movie 1776… “molasses to rum to slaves”, which we talked about. I graduated in 1984, and I’m sure my teacher taught us this in junior year US history in 1982-1983. I’m not seeing what’s new here? Has public school teaching of US history since I left in 1984 become so bland such that tragic concepts we were taught in an noncontroversial manner then are now controversial?
@@tonydaysog9164 Yes, in our day, all that was included in our classes. We learned about George Washington Carver, Malcolm X, the Reverend King, Nat King Cole, Read 101 black inventors and their inventions. There is more than enough material in there, to give the children a sense of pride.
@@tonydaysog9164 Yes,. Within the past few years the freedom of teachers to teach history as you described is increasingly under fire. Parents can and do threaten teachers and get them fired.
@@tonydaysog9164 But what you weren't taught (I wasn't ) is that the original draft of the Declaration of Independence had the ending of slavery in it, but the southern colonies said they wouldn't sign on to the revolution if they didn't remove that passage and so they did. Later, when they wrote the Constitution, they left the door open for the ending of slavery, hoping in the future it would happen and it did.
@Emerald Triangle Then why are you affraid to talk about our past? I'm not uncomfortable with it. I accept what my forefathers did. I also accept that I'm not going to do it. I'm better than our founding fathers. That makes me happy.
@@meoff7602 No ones afraid to talk about it. What people don't want being taught is the BS this grifter talks about. The 1619 project is her own personal editorial on history. It's fiction, but for some reason she keeps trying to pass it off as the truth.
You need to be worried about Trumptism. Full of demonic spirit's and God is bringing it to the light. What's done in the dark will come to the light. Look at all the text messages.
Not so. First, there is no "antifa" as an organized movement. It's just an epithet directed at certain people. Any more than all conservatives are Birchers or Nazis.

@@CleverMonkeyArt BLM is a Communist organization who care nothing about black lives. As a nation, we pretty much have been against Communism, because Communism is opposite of freedom along with Nazism, whom my dad fought in WWII.
In 1619 the USA didn't exist. A group of colonialist from Spain, England , the Netherlands, French and Portugal were colonializing the Americas. Those European countries brought enslaved Africans to the western hemisphere. It is not a USA specific thing.
@@redblackandgreen1117 she said the US is more culpable for its practices of chattel slavery, how late the US was to abolish slavery, and that the US is one of a VERY small group of countries that required war to end slavery. She went in quite a bit of detail in the video. Do u disagree?
Fine we do as a matter of fact however do we teach that well south american slavery was the bulk of it and far crueler Do we teach about the Barbary slave trade where black people sold white people into slavery What about South Africa's recent past which black people are unbelievably racist to white people How about the fact that the USA was NOT the last nation to give up slavery in the North America Those noble Native Nations were. How about the fact that slavery is still practiced in african nations today How about we teach the truth that we didn't round up black people and ship them over here we bought them from other black people back in the day. Lastly keep in mind 600k white guys had to die to end the matter in this country
I am so glad for this post, seeing it for the first time. I actually utilized the 1619 Project as part of my substantiating research for my latest book "Chain Letter to America: The One Thing You Can Do to End Racism"" ... The interviewer could have been better prepared going up against a power house like Nicole Hannah-Jones replete with enough intellectual fortitude to redress some of his questions which at times came off as clumsy and ill conceived...I was glad for this because it proffered me the opportunity to learn even more about misconceptions & American historical thought patterns...which is certainly open for discussion..to that end, I believe that DISCUSSIONS are imperative in extant & in posterity in our country.
Americans are getting sick and tired of being told how racist they are . The black community should clean up their side of the street before lecturing the world .
I bought the 1619 project to use for my Constitutional law school weekly essays and final paper. "We should be uncomfortable with the hard parts of our past." Rightfully so. Highly recommended and informative. #HBCU Howard University make us proud.
@@thesacredibis6723 When this country breaks apart, and it will, remember all the accolades that laid the foundation for the fall of the US. No group can survive when 1/2 it's members seem to loathe it. The 1619 project is not about history, it's about idealogy. It's no different than Howard's Zinn's work. It's basically a holy document for the new identity based religion progressives have adopted. Every fundamentalist religion needs a root cause for their fanaticism.
Great Brittain didn't abolish slavery until 1807. So your argument doesn't hold. Also, the United States banned the foreign slave trade at the same time in 1807.
Revelation 18:2 “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” This is why you should stop eating bird's. Matthew 27:29 “And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!” This is why you put up a reef.

Slavery is the worst sin from this country's past. However, the US didn't invent it. Slavery goes back as far as the Greeks and Romans. It came to this country like other goods and services. Hannah-Jones is a filthy liar trying to sell books. Only a fool would think she could re-write American history.
Slavery in the Americas since 1619? Or Slavery in the United States of America since 1619? Please allow me to share some facts and maybe some insight and clarity on this subject. End of British rule in the 13 Colonies: Revolutionary War started in 1775 and lasted 8 years until 1783 when it came to an end and the North American colonies gained full independence from Great Britain. 10/16/1783. Final formation of the United States of America: Constitution fully ratified by all 13 States which completed the formation of the United States - 01/10/1791. End of slavery: 13th Amendment is formally adopted into the U.S. Constitution, ensuring that “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” 12/18/1865 (post Civil War). Two ways to calculate total years of slavery in the United States: Date of U.S. formal Independence - 1783, official end of slavery - 1865 - Total years of slavery in the United States: 82 years. Constitution ratification - 1791, official end of slavery - 1865 - Total years of slavery in United States: 74 years. Even if the Declaration of Independence date of 07/04/1776 is used by some to indicate the beginning of the United States, that would amount to 89 total years of slavery. Don’t ever let people tell you there has been slavery in the United States of America for “Hundreds of years.” It just isn’t true. If they say: “Slavery in America for hundreds of years”, stop them and ask: “Do you mean in the Americas or in the United States of America?” because there is a very distinct difference between those two things. Conclusions: Slavery in the Americas (North, Central, South) for hundreds of years? Yes. True. Slavery in the United States of America for hundreds of years? No. False. (74 years minimum to 89 years maximum). Any slavery prior to this date occurred under British rule.
@UC3TgYimFQemYxGuryB-JymQ Those same American Indians, blacks and colored people you try to defend had slavery, committed genocides, cannibalism, torture, fought and killed each other over land and resources for thousands of years. What's your point?
Just about every nation on earth has or had slavery. The United States abolished slavery in 1865. There exists at least 15 countries where slavery is still legal today.
Slavery is evil. It happened. No one has a problem with talking about slavery. History is important but it's ONE subject. Our kids are better served learning STEM and other subjects that will help them gain a competitive advantage to improve their future.
Not at all true. That's Conservatives that highlight the very few blk ppl that are against it. I'm black and I happen to know a lot of other black people and they are in favor of CRT. Bc they understand what it is.
@@nyebots It’s race Marxism. It’s a hateful divisive way to think, and teaches our children to divide themselves on racial characteristics( unlike earlier versions of Marxism that divided people between classes).
If you want to standardize what is taught about slavery, it will happen. They do it anyway. They teach American History and break it up in high school at 1877... it's history up to 1877 and then history after that, as I remember it. They have Social Studies and other classes before that... and they could discuss slavery and all that goes with it in a thoughtful way if they wanted to. It's 244 years of history. It's consequential because it's the majority of the history.... but it's also a continuum to it in that legal segregation followed for another 100 years, and even to this late day, the behaviors and practices are still observed. It's not like all of the very racist people all died at the end of each of these eras. The teachers can find ways to standardize how these things are taught. I mean, it's not like we can't memorize dates. We know 1607, 1620, 1676 (Bacon's Rebellion), 1770, 1773, 1776, 1783, 1812, 1850, 1861, 1863, 1865, 1877, 1895, etc. We can memorize what we want to. We can talk about eras, we can talk about dates, we can look at all of the subjects we currently care about but with additional information on how this actually affects everyone, or look at the new subjects that will and must arise to understand the country as it is today. Chuck asking about children age starts.... and not feeling guilty.... that sh*t is always funny. I'm sorry, have you heard of the doll test? Black kids are already subjected to racism through media, everyday... that's why the doll test is what it is. We don't get to protect them, which is nothing new.... but as always, we need to protect white kids. Protect them from their own ancestors' past. How ironic. You want to teach them about Washington to blindly be patriotic, but not to teach them about how he was able to become rich and become president. That was because of slavery. Jefferson and all the rest of them. It isn't to disparage them, but to show who they really were, and show that they were not these perfect figures, these almost mythical people "the Founders". The Founding Deadbeat Fathers, if you want to be honest, in that they ignored the pain of their black sons and daughters, literally and figuratively. This said, I don't think anybody is suggesting to teach white 6-year-olds that they have white privilege that came from slavery. I think it makes sense if you're teaching children about history of America, that this is when you start teaching them about what was here and why. If they are old enough to understand history, then they are old enough to know some of the bad parts of it, too. It's very curious to see a white person complain about kids learning real history.... but not just that, I think it says a lot that they don't want kids to know right from wrong, or be able to judge good and bad behavior. It might actually have them because decent adults. Have them question whether slavery was good or bad. It certainly is clear that people did not have to be slaves in order to come to America nor was it ever a good thing or necessary to have formed such a country. It wasn't. It could've been a bunch of hardworking white people who built it, but it wasn't. By the way, stop looking for the endpoint. How do we get over this hump? Why is that the question? Why aren't you talking to these racist governors who ban books and bother folks who want to improve education by digging into this history? It's not for Nikole to explain how white people can fix themselves. Why don't you have the answer? Why have you not had to think about the answer by this time, even yet?
Good job by Ms. Jones. She didn't let the moderator coop the purpose or meaning of the 1619 Project like conservatives have done with the phrase "critical race theory."
@snowench she said unique in the Americas and specifically the 13 colonies that had a Constitution touting the rights of their citizens. Just wow that you hear what you want to hear.
@@THEMONITOR72 She neglected to state the fact that the original draft of the Declaration of Independence had the freeing of slaves in it, but the southern colonies refused to sign it unless that passage was removed so Jefferson removed it. They did set up the Constitution so that in the future slavery could be ended and it would go along with the Constitution, which it does.
Thank you Ms Hannah Jones for exposing this truth!
Well said Ms. Hannah Jones. Your are brilliant.

If the establishment prevents the 1619 Project from being incorporated into the school system, Black parents please get it for yourselves and your children. We need to know this information!!! Ms. Hannah-Jones, you are brilliant and we THANK YOU!!!
White parents too! You want your children to be properly and truthfully educated to help lead the country in the future and to preserve democracy!
You know I think about the stuff the African Americans go through in this country and I have determined yes black children need to know their history but white children need to know our history even more! Because they are being lied to they don't know our contributions and especially they don't know what we go through on a daily basis they are the ones that need to learn about our contributions to this country as much as we need to learn about our contributions to this country it's not what the Republicans try to make it out to be you know make them feel bad about themselves it's not that at all
@@davidshareefChTPhD Black history is American history! 🤜🏻🤛🏽 🇺🇸
@@davidshareefChTPhD that is exactly the purpose of 1619 - shame whites into feeling bad about themselves. I have no problem learning history and in fact I find it enjoyable. But 1619 is a unique phenomenon that is only found in the Industrialzed West . That phenomenon is a revolution to dismantle the foundation myths and traditions of the culture in order for it to be replaced. This is very different from objectively learning history. These are political objectives that are carried out under the guise of learning true history. Unfortunately many have and will be deceived by Jones and others of her ilk.
If we want to discuss the Trans Atlantic trade and the settling of this country let's do objectively without political agendas. History is a written and sometimes oral record of the past. It has been said that history is written by the winners. That is generally true. Jones and 1619 is an attempt to rewrite that history as part of a cultural revolution.

BRAVO MISS HANNAH-JONES
Hannah-Jones is brilliant. She says professional teachers are best equipped to teach American history, and she is right. As a high school history teacher your job is to tell all of America's story--and that includes Indigenous peoples and African Americans, from the very beginning; other groups as we drove into their territories, such as Hispanics; and immigrants from around the globe, including Asian-Americans. Women's history is everyone's history, too. Did you know that the first women to be "sold" as brides in America came on that first ship with Africans for sale in 1619? They were auctioned off just like the slaves, to pay their passage, by becoming wives or indentured servants. It's a big responsibility to show students a fuller picture of America. Yet virtually all of my students became prouder of their country after their year of American History, not ashamed of it. They discovered that even when America hasn't lived up to Jefferson's statement that all men are created equal. we continually strive, even with setbacks, toward this founding ideal. America's is an ongoing story, one of great hope, as my students were allowed to discover for themselves. That's why you need real history teachers to teach and design the curriculum. And don't get me started on trying to cover all of American History in just two classes, all that most high schools require.
I think the bit that confuses me is I’m pretty sure I was taught in my public high school that slavery was not only a part of the US during the signing of the declaration but that the signers of the declaration did so *knowing* about the obvious contradiction between the declaration and slavery. After all… I always remember the scene from the movie 1776… “molasses to rum to slaves”, which we talked about. I graduated in 1984, and I’m sure my teacher taught us this in junior year US history in 1982-1983.
I’m not seeing what’s new here? Has public school teaching of US history since I left in 1984 become so bland such that tragic concepts we were taught in an noncontroversial manner then are now controversial?
@@tonydaysog9164 Yes, in our day, all that was included in our classes. We learned about George Washington Carver, Malcolm X, the Reverend King, Nat King Cole, Read 101 black inventors and their inventions. There is more than enough material in there, to give the children a sense of pride.
@@tonydaysog9164 Yes,. Within the past few years the freedom of teachers to teach history as you described is increasingly under fire. Parents can and do threaten teachers and get them fired.
@@tonydaysog9164 But what you weren't taught (I wasn't ) is that the original draft of the Declaration of Independence had the ending of slavery in it, but the southern colonies said they wouldn't sign on to the revolution if they didn't remove that passage and so they did. Later, when they wrote the Constitution, they left the door open for the ending of slavery, hoping in the future it would happen and it did.

What's done in the dark will come to the light. Look at all the text messages.
Not so. First, there is no "antifa" as an organized movement. It's just an epithet directed at certain people. Any more than all conservatives are Birchers or Nazis. Second, BLM has done nothing to deserve any push back or accusations of hypocrisy. Name a single BLM person who has been arrested and accused of destruction of public property or worse. Please.
I remember as a child watching Bull Connor being given free reign.
@@CleverMonkeyArt BLM is a Communist organization who care nothing about black lives. As a nation, we pretty much have been against Communism, because Communism is opposite of freedom along with Nazism, whom my dad fought in WWII.

Proud of Nikole Hannah-Jones for publishing this book. We need to face Amerikkka's racist past.
Indeed.
Fine we do as a matter of fact however do we teach that well south american slavery was the bulk of it and far crueler Do we teach about the Barbary slave trade where black people sold white people into slavery What about South Africa's recent past which black people are unbelievably racist to white people How about the fact that the USA was NOT the last nation to give up slavery in the North America Those noble Native Nations were. How about the fact that slavery is still practiced in african nations today How about we teach the truth that we didn't round up black people and ship them over here we bought them from other black people back in the day. Lastly keep in mind 600k white guys had to die to end the matter in this country
She's right.

I am so glad for this post, seeing it for the first time. I actually utilized the 1619 Project as part of my substantiating research for my latest book "Chain Letter to America: The One Thing You Can Do to End Racism"" ... The interviewer could have been better prepared going up against a power house like Nicole Hannah-Jones replete with enough intellectual fortitude to redress some of his questions which at times came off as clumsy and ill conceived...I was glad for this because it proffered me the opportunity to learn even more about misconceptions & American historical thought patterns...which is certainly open for discussion..to that end, I believe that DISCUSSIONS are imperative in extant & in posterity in our country.
Americans are getting sick and tired of being told how racist they are . The black community should clean up their side of the street before lecturing the world .
@@scparker6893 the intellectual fortitude was in reference to Chuck Todd's ignorance. Looks like you sit in the same seat.
NHJ will be lost to the dustbin of history with this ridiculous idea.
What "idea?"
She should travel to Nigeria and write a book about black slave masters who slaved their own kinds and sold them all over the world
Yeah, but we are talking about the Americas.
Go pound sand.
I bought the 1619 project to use for my Constitutional law school weekly essays and final paper. "We should be uncomfortable with the hard parts of our past." Rightfully so. Highly recommended and informative. #HBCU Howard University make us proud.

Nikole handled this interview well. Kinda frustrated with how he would interrupt her.
She’s telling the TRUTH …
She's admitted in interviews that it's not fact, it's "her truth, as she imagines it".
She told the truth and that is why she's a target. They want to continue to teach a lie.
Great Brittain didn't abolish slavery until 1807. So your argument doesn't hold. Also, the United States banned the foreign slave trade at the same time in 1807.
Spell Britain again?
It was actually in the 1830s
Great segment. Thank you.
Ms. Jones continue to state the facts!
No she doesn't. What "facts" are you talking about? Did you read the chapter about blacks also having slaves or doesn't that fit your agenda?
Oh does she state that the US would be better today if it never has slaves and she’d be living in a mud hut in Africa?
It sounds ro to me that Chuck should have read the 1619 Project! His ignorance is showing.
Revelation 18:2

Until all people who work in America have a living wage above the poverty line, slavery still exists.
What about internships where you basically for for free to gain experience? Or take a huge pay cut to learn new skills? I've done it and it worked out amazingly.
Economic slavery is real and it is an intentional corporate policy to maximize profits for the wealthy.

It will be so wonderful when all Blacks FINALLY get past their history and live for the future. This rhetoric is getting so old. When can we try to get back to pre-pandemic freedom? It wasn't perfect but the nation didn't have only one topic of discussion either. Americans are shop worn to Race dialogue like this.

@@dredon44 No, but it's one of the biggest. If you didn't live in the US and only heard what these victimizers on the news say, you'd think that segregation still exists and that minorities have no chance of success.
Agreed. It is the main issue democrats are pushing, race, race, race, trans, race, race, trans. We don't want to sit a reminense what it was like 300 years ago for slaves, Why don't we sit and think what is was like for the poor French people in the year 1240 and then trace our lineage back and see if any of us are to blame?
Lol imagine experiencing it. But soooo sorry that the conversation is boring for you.

I read the 1619 book, then I bought a signed first edition for my teen son for his birthday. It’s the most important book of the last decade.
I consider it a foundational book of the history of the US.
It's a book written by a racist with an agenda of fake victimhood. Her book completely ignores reality and your son will be brainwashed for reading it because he won't realize that those "evil" people were just like everyone else in the world at that time. You should read about other countries during those times. If you think the Americans were bad, then you have a rude awakening coming once you do your research.
She wants to claim racism was what guided these people's lives back then, except it didn't. Slavery was universal around the world and had been for thousands of years, it had nothing to do with race. Control and power guided these people, just like every other race and country in the world at that time. The people were no different from the rest of the world, except for the fact the American Christian Abolitionists decided slavery must end and fought a war costing hundreds of thousands of lives to end it.
And as you see from some of the posts, the knowledge from it is scaring them a lot,lol.

There are few people in this world whose life and work changes the culture. Be like Hanna-Jones. A true patriot.
Slavery is the worst sin from this country's past. However, the US didn't invent it. Slavery goes back as far as the Greeks and Romans. It came to this country like other goods and services. Hannah-Jones is a filthy liar trying to sell books. Only a fool would think she could re-write American history.
Slavery in the Americas since 1619? Or Slavery in the United States of America since 1619?
Please allow me to share some facts and maybe some insight and clarity on this subject.
End of British rule in the 13 Colonies:
Revolutionary War started in 1775 and lasted 8 years until 1783 when it came to an end and the North American colonies gained full independence from Great Britain. 10/16/1783.
Final formation of the United States of America:
Constitution fully ratified by all 13 States which completed the formation of the United States - 01/10/1791.
End of slavery:
13th Amendment is formally adopted into the U.S. Constitution, ensuring that “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” 12/18/1865 (post Civil War).
Two ways to calculate total years of slavery in the United States:
Date of U.S. formal Independence - 1783, official end of slavery - 1865 - Total years of slavery in the United States: 82 years.
Constitution ratification - 1791, official end of slavery - 1865 - Total years of slavery in United States: 74 years.
Even if the Declaration of Independence date of 07/04/1776 is used by some to indicate the beginning of the United States, that would amount to 89 total years of slavery.
Don’t ever let people tell you there has been slavery in the United States of America for “Hundreds of years.” It just isn’t true. If they say: “Slavery in America for hundreds of years”, stop them and ask: “Do you mean in the Americas or in the United States of America?” because there is a very distinct difference between those two things.
Conclusions:
Slavery in the Americas (North, Central, South) for hundreds of years? Yes. True.
Slavery in the United States of America for hundreds of years? No. False. (74 years minimum to 89 years maximum).
Any slavery prior to this date occurred under British rule.
Slavery was already in the Americas. All native tribes practiced it.
Also, Do you mind if I copy and save your post. It is the perfect show stopper for this BS. Hat's off Sir.
@@BrettShadow Sure thing, Ryan. Add to it and make it your own. There was a lot more I wanted to say but, it would have been a book! LOL!
@@michaelknight2897 Yep. Every race did. Some still do.
@UC3TgYimFQemYxGuryB-JymQ Those same American Indians, blacks and colored people you try to defend had slavery, committed genocides, cannibalism, torture, fought and killed each other over land and resources for thousands of years. What's your point?
Just about every nation on earth has or had slavery. The United States abolished slavery in 1865. There exists at least 15 countries where slavery is still legal today.
You want racism to persist, create stories and conspriacies then publish them.
LoL, everything you where taught about our history is stories. LoL
Slavery is evil. It happened. No one has a problem with talking about slavery. History is important but it's ONE subject. Our kids are better served learning STEM and other subjects that will help them gain a competitive advantage to improve their future.
And this just isn't white parents speaking out...black and Latino parents don't like it either...from all parts of the country.
Not at all true. That's Conservatives that highlight the very few blk ppl that are against it. I'm black and I happen to know a lot of other black people and they are in favor of CRT. Bc they understand what it is.
@@nyebots It’s race Marxism. It’s a hateful divisive way to think, and teaches our children to divide themselves on racial characteristics( unlike earlier versions of Marxism that divided people between classes).
If you want to standardize what is taught about slavery, it will happen. They do it anyway. They teach American History and break it up in high school at 1877... it's history up to 1877 and then history after that, as I remember it. They have Social Studies and other classes before that... and they could discuss slavery and all that goes with it in a thoughtful way if they wanted to. It's 244 years of history. It's consequential because it's the majority of the history.... but it's also a continuum to it in that legal segregation followed for another 100 years, and even to this late day, the behaviors and practices are still observed. It's not like all of the very racist people all died at the end of each of these eras.
The teachers can find ways to standardize how these things are taught. I mean, it's not like we can't memorize dates. We know 1607, 1620, 1676 (Bacon's Rebellion), 1770, 1773, 1776, 1783, 1812, 1850, 1861, 1863, 1865, 1877, 1895, etc. We can memorize what we want to. We can talk about eras, we can talk about dates, we can look at all of the subjects we currently care about but with additional information on how this actually affects everyone, or look at the new subjects that will and must arise to understand the country as it is today.
Chuck asking about children age starts.... and not feeling guilty.... that sh*t is always funny. I'm sorry, have you heard of the doll test? Black kids are already subjected to racism through media, everyday... that's why the doll test is what it is. We don't get to protect them, which is nothing new.... but as always, we need to protect white kids. Protect them from their own ancestors' past. How ironic. You want to teach them about Washington to blindly be patriotic, but not to teach them about how he was able to become rich and become president. That was because of slavery. Jefferson and all the rest of them. It isn't to disparage them, but to show who they really were, and show that they were not these perfect figures, these almost mythical people "the Founders". The Founding Deadbeat Fathers, if you want to be honest, in that they ignored the pain of their black sons and daughters, literally and figuratively.
This said, I don't think anybody is suggesting to teach white 6-year-olds that they have white privilege that came from slavery. I think it makes sense if you're teaching children about history of America, that this is when you start teaching them about what was here and why. If they are old enough to understand history, then they are old enough to know some of the bad parts of it, too.
It's very curious to see a white person complain about kids learning real history.... but not just that, I think it says a lot that they don't want kids to know right from wrong, or be able to judge good and bad behavior. It might actually have them because decent adults. Have them question whether slavery was good or bad. It certainly is clear that people did not have to be slaves in order to come to America nor was it ever a good thing or necessary to have formed such a country. It wasn't. It could've been a bunch of hardworking white people who built it, but it wasn't.
By the way, stop looking for the endpoint. How do we get over this hump? Why is that the question? Why aren't you talking to these racist governors who ban books and bother folks who want to improve education by digging into this history? It's not for Nikole to explain how white people can fix themselves. Why don't you have the answer? Why have you not had to think about the answer by this time, even yet?

@@THEMONITOR72 She neglected to state the fact that the original draft of the Declaration of Independence had the freeing of slaves in it, but the southern colonies refused to sign it unless that passage was removed so Jefferson removed it.
