Funny, she didn't act that way until a truth squad came into operation. Her shit has been passed out as curriculum in schools. Why?



1619 Project Creator Says Her Series Is ‘Journalism’ and ‘Not a History’
Josh Christenson - MAY 10, 2020 2:35 PM

The creator of the controversial 1619 Project, a New York Times Magazine commentary series on the impact of slavery in America, is now saying her work was meant to be "journalism" and "not a history."

"The 1619 Project is not a history," Nikole Hannah-Jones said in an MSNBC interview on Sunday. "It is a work of journalism that examines the modern and ongoing legacy of slavery."

Hannah-Jones won a Pulitzer Prize for the 1619 Project last week, but the initiative has been frequently criticized for its inaccuracies by historians.
In December 2019, five distinguished American historians wrote a letter to the magazine editor, saying that they were "dismayed at some of the factual errors in the project and the closed process behind it."

In February, a group of predominantly African-American scholars, community leaders, and journalists launched the 1776 initiative, a series of essays and educational resources that "counter the false history that the 1619 Project espouses and has disseminated as a school curriculum."

A report in March revealed that the Times consulted historian Leslie Harris, who "vigorously argued against" Hannah-Jones including one of her most controversial claims—that the American Revolution was fought to preserve slavery—before the launch of the 1619 Project in August 2019.

A few days after the report, the Times printed an editor's note and Hannah-Jones tweeted that a correction had been made.

"Yesterday we made an important clarification to my #1619Project essay abt [sic] the colonists' motivations during the American Revolution," she said. The article would now read that slavery was the primary motivation for the American Revolution for "some of" the colonists.

"As written, it appears that I am saying this was a universal motivation of ALL colonists. I wasn't clear enough," Hannah-Jones said.
The clarification is small — just two words –but important. We add tht slavery was one of the primary motivations for "some of" the colonists to declare independence. As written, it appears that I am saying this was a universal motivation of ALL colonists. I wasn't clear enough

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

After Hannah-Jones's win was announced, the Pulitzer Center congratulated Hannah-Jones "on her historic win" and said it "looks forward to continuing to collaborate with her and the team at The New York Times Magazine on this important work."

Even Isandlwana was an epic fuck-up for the Zulus because in stereotypical African fashion a group wandered off to go find some easier prey than healthy, well-armed soldiers and decided to go massacre everyone at the mission hospital located at Rorke's Drift.

To quote Wikipedia:

As you can imagine, it ended about as well for them as it did for anyone else trying a frontal assault against outnumbered and desperate soldiers of the Crown.

When you look at the other Zulu victories barring Isandlwana, which was a fuck up on the part of the Brits, they were minor skirmishes at best where they caught small forces at the right time or had a massive number of bodies to throw. Intombe saw a supply convoy of 100 men ambushed at the Intombe river after shitty weather and orders to "get those supplies to their destination at all costs" leading to them abandoning bogged down wagons. Tired, without wagons to form barricades and out in the open, they got jumped by about 500-800 Zulus and killed

Hlobane was another one. 600+ British troops vs 25,000 Zulus. Caught while they were retreating off a plateaux, they killed around 200+ British men. Great victory for the Zulus right? Except not really, because they routed the Brits at Hlobane, the Zulu's went "let's go after them in their main camp in Kambula the next day." This played out exactly as you would expect, charging at a fortified camp with about 2000 British soldiers. In 4 hours the Brits fired 138,000 rounds and 1077 shells. Utterly broke the Zulu fighting spirit, who never attempted another attack on a fortified position again. They managed to have this great win at Hlobane and not even ONE DAY LATER they literally mentally break themselves throwing themselves against a well fortified position. Ulundi finished off the Zulus, razed their capital to the ground and their king exiled to London.

Pompeo: C.C.P. 'Must Be Gleeful' over 1619 Project - Rioters Destroying Statues Believe Its 'False Doctrines'

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that America was far from perfect at its founding, but America's "founding principles gave us a standard by which we could see the gravity of our failings." | Clips
www.breitbart.com www.breitbart.com



During a speech on Thursday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that America was far from perfect at its founding, but America’s “founding principles gave us a standard by which we could see the gravity of our failings” and criticized the New York Times’ 1619 Project for arguing that “America’s institutions continue to reflect the country’s acceptance of slavery at our founding.” Pompeo stated that the Chinese Communist Party “must be gleeful” when they read these arguments, and that rioters “have taken these false doctrines to heart” and “thus see nothing wrong with desecrating monuments to those who fought for our unalienable rights, from our founding to the present day.”

Pompeo said, “America is fundamentally good and has much to offer the world. Because our founders recognized the existence of God-given, unalienable rights, and designed a durable system to protect them. But I must say, these days, even saying that America is fundamentally good has become controversial.”

He added, “Now, it’s true that, [at] our nation’s founding, our country fell far short of securing the rights of all. The evil institution of slavery was our nation’s gravest departure from these founding principles. We expelled Native Americans from their ancestral lands. And our foreign policy, too, has not always comported with the idea of sovereignty embedded in the core of our founding.”

Pompeo continued, “But crucially, crucially the nation’s founding principles gave us a standard by which we could see the gravity of our failings and a political framework that gave us the tools to ultimately abolish slavery and enshrine into law equality without regard to race. You don’t always hear these ground truths today. Nor do you hear about the greatest strides our nation has made to realize the promise of our founding and a more perfect union. From Seneca Falls, to Brown v. Board of Education, to the peaceful marches led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Americans have always laid claims to their promised inheritance of unalienable rights. And yet today, the very core of what it means to be an American, indeed, the American way of life itself, is under attack. Instead of seeking to improve America, too many leading voices promulgate hatred of our founding principles.”

He further stated, “President Trump spoke about this at Mount Rushmore on the Fourth of July. And our rights tradition is under assault. The New York Times‘ 1619 Project, so named for the year that the first slaves were transported to America, wants you to believe that our country was founded for human bondage. They want you to believe that America’s institutions continue to reflect the country’s acceptance of slavery at our founding. They want you to believe that Marxist ideology that America is only the oppressors and the oppressed. The Chinese Communist Party must be gleeful when they see the New York Times spout this ideology.”

He concluded, “Some people have taken these false doctrines to heart. The rioters pulling down statues thus see nothing wrong with desecrating monuments to those who fought for our unalienable rights, from our founding to the present day. This is a dark vision of America’s birth. I reject it. It’s a disturbed reading of history. It is a slander on our great people. Nothing could be further from the truth of our founding and the rights about which this report speaks.”
 
Mrs Paul said:
While she's correct about Native Americans owning slaves and bringing them along on the Trail of Tears, I don't see how that excuses anything.

Here's an interesting article about the whole thing.

The entire movement reeks of moral Manichaeism, everything is either irrevocably good or irredeemably evil. It's a very seductive way or looking at things, since it excuses your own failings while simultaneously denying the other's side's points.
 
You lose the right to call your historical revisionism "journalism" the moment it is taught in schools as historical fact.
 
(CNN)Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas has introduced legislation that takes aim at the teaching of the 1619 Project, an initiative from The New York Times that reframes American history around the date of August 1619 when the first slave ship arrived on America's shores.
A statement from the senator's office announcing the bill introduction states that the legislation will be titled the Saving American History Act of 2020 and "would prohibit the use of federal funds to teach the 1619 Project by K-12 schools or school districts. Schools that teach the 1619 Project would also be ineligible for federal professional-development grants."
The legislation appears unlikely to gain any significant traction in the Senate, but still stands as a way for the Republican senator from Arkansas to send a message.
Cotton's release states that "under the bill, the Secretaries of Education, Health and Human Services, and Agriculture would be required to prorate federal funding to schools that decide to teach the 1619 Project -- determined by how much it costs to plan and teach that curriculum."


The 1619 Project was launched by The New York Times Magazine last year. Following the launch, the Pulitzer Center was named an education partner for the project and announced that its education team would develop educational resources and curricula for use by teachers. The 1619 Project curriculum is available online for free through the center.
Editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine Jake Silverstein wrote last year in a piece titled "Why We Published The 1619 Project," that the aim of the project "is to reframe American history by considering what it would mean to regard 1619 as our nation's birth year. Doing so requires us to place the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are as a country."
The idea was pitched by staff writer Nikole Hannah-Jones, who has spent her career writing about modern racial inequities and segregation and won a MacArthur Grant -- also known as a "genius grant" -- for her work in 2017. She won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary this year as a result of the project.
Hannah-Jones has responded to the bill introduction on Twitter, saying, in one tweet that, "This bill speaks to the power of journalism more than anything I've ever done in my career," and directing readers to the curriculum for the project.
"Would love if someone could surface the memo that has gone out to make the 1619 Project a right-wing talking point. Last two weeks been mentioned by Pompeo, Cotton, Trump and Cruz. The project published in August of *2019.*," she said in another tweet.
The President was recently asked in an interview on "Fox News Sunday" why he has claimed that children are taught in schools to hate their country.
Trump responded, according to a transcript of the interview by saying, "I just look at -- I look at school. I watch, I read, look at the stuff. Now they want to change -- 1492, Columbus discovered America. You know, we grew up, you grew up, we all did, that's what we learned. Now they want to make it the 1619 project. Where did that come from? What does it represent? I don't even know."
CNN's Leah Asmelash contributed to this report.

Such an unreasonable man.
 
Good, fuck this Orwellian rewriting of history.

Blacks are so incredibly self centered these days, the idea of wanting to rewrite American history to entirely revolve around black slavery is nauseating.

Newsflash blacks, it's not literally all about you.

Cabot Phillips: ‘Cancel culture’ distorts history to portray US as evil nation that must be transformed

A concerted effort to revise history to fit the modern social justice narrative and insert works of fiction in our education system — from kindergarten through higher education — is well underway.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com


This has been the year of “cancel culture,” with celebrities, politicians, and anyone who’s ever held an opinion that is mildly divergent from the politically correct left coming under attack.

Amidst all the public apologies, disavowals, and firings that this political correctness crusade has wrought, the biggest victim of all has been American history. And now the assault is poised to get worse.

A concerted effort to revise history to fit the modern social justice narrative and insert works of fiction in our education system — from kindergarten through higher education — is well underway.

The 1619 Project, which describes itself as “an ongoing initiative of The New York Times Magazine,” is the clearest evidence that this indoctrination has become institutionalized in the American education system — but certainly not the only evidence.

Despite being labeled “so wrong in so many ways” by a group of Pulitzer Prize-winning historians, the 1619 Project is set to hit K-12 classrooms this fall. Soon, 6-year-olds will be learning a reframed version of America’s founding, shaped to fit today’s standards and train the next generation of social justice warriors.

According to the project’s makeover of U.S. history, 1619 — not 1776, when American colonists declared independence from Britain — is actually “our nation’s birth year.” That’s because 1619 was the year the first enslaved Africans arrived in the colonies.

“Their arrival inaugurated a barbaric system of chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years,” said an article in the New York Times Magazine published in December 2019. “This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the country’s very origin.”

The magazine goes on to state: “Out of slavery — and the anti-black racism it required — grew nearly everything that has truly made America exceptional: its economic might, its industrial power, its electoral system, its diet and popular music, the inequities of its public health and education, its astonishing penchant for violence, its income inequality, the example it sets for the world as a land of freedom and equality, its slang, its legal system and the endemic racial fears and hatreds that continue to plague it to this day. The seeds of all that were planted long before our official birth date, in 1776, when the men known as our founders formally declared independence from Britain.”

In other words, the Founding Fathers were a bunch of evil white supremacists and the most important thing they did was to institute and perpetuate slavery. Obviously, slavery was horrific and wrong. But it shouldn’t erase all the accomplishments of America’s founders and the good things about our nation — like our Constitution, representative democracy, Bill of Rights guaranteeing our freedoms, economic prosperity and so much more.

The pace at which our educational system has removed or revised history has been staggering. On many college campuses, American history courses have been replaced with mandatory “white privilege” courses or “diversity and inclusion workshops.”

The history courses that are taught often seek to indoctrinate students with the idea that America’s lasting legacy is one of genocide and oppression, not freedom and liberty for all.

History courses have been politicized with the clear objective of convincing the next generation that their nation is not one to be proud of, but a place they should be ashamed of.

This narrative of an evil America lays the foundation for the embrace of far-left ideology that would upend our entire social and economic order with endless protests and other actions — even violent ones— to transform our “evil” country into an imagined utopian society.

The repercussions of this massacre of our nation’s history are real and significant — look no further than the images of young Americans tearing down statues and destroying vehicles of “oppression” like businesses that support capitalism and courthouses that carry out justice.

People aren’t going to protect what they don’t understand. The reason we see so many young Americans behave this way is that so many of them don’t understand our history.

Pride in America only happens when people know what they’re proud of. When a poll came out this year showing patriotism levels among young Americans at a record low, the response from many was shock and dismay. But it shouldn’t have been. Why would someone take pride in a country when they’ve been taught is evil?

We must not stand idly by while our education system is hijacked, and our children misled and brainwashed to hate our nation instead of loving it.

Last month, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., proposed a bill that would prevent federal funds from being used to teach the 1619 Project in public schools. Bold steps like this must be taken, and Americans must demand a say in what’s being taught in our schools.

Without action, our education system will continue to indoctrinate students with anti-American propaganda, and future generations will think our culture and way of life is nothing worth preserving.

If that happens, we won’t need to teach American Exceptionalism in schools, because America will no longer be exceptional.

I think I recognize that handle... This the chick you were trying to sick the femcel thread on? Despite her not being a lesbian... Well not obviously anyways. I guess she could have been bitching about racist maga supporter women?

I wouldn't say you "found" her if you've known about her for 2 weeks, looks more like you were waiting for her to say something relevant to a thread so you could repost her. Good job including the relevant content this time, now run her through archive.fo

Now be honest, who is she and what's your vendetta against her?
