Ever hear of a thing called "The 1619 Project"? Public schools are now teaching its brazen lies to your kids
Ever heard of the "1619 Project"?
Two years ago the NY Times published a racist propaganda piece titled "The 1619 project." In the opening page of the launch of the project the Times claimed “It is finally time to tell our story truthfully.” And by "our story" they meant the true story of the founding of the United States.
So what did the Times claim was the truth about the founding of our nation?
They claimed the real reason the American colonists fought a war against the British monarchy was...wait for it...to be able to perpetuate slavery.
New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones conceived the project for the Times. She and the paper claim the United States was NOT founded in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence, but that the true founding date should be 1619, when she claims the first black slaves were brought to the then-British colonies. But her second claim is even more damning: she and the Times claim that the real reason the colonials fought the long, grim Revolutionary War--the American revolution--was NOT to throw off the rule of the British king, but to perpetuate slavery.
Yes, you read that right. Hannh-Jones actually claims exactly that. And by embracing and publishing her lies, the Times clearly supports them.
Problem is, there's not a shred of actual evidence for her claims. It's all her conjecture. But because white liberals are totally down with supporting any theory that tears down our nation, the white liberals who run our schools--both public and private--totally support these ghastly lies.
She's been quoted as saying “I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in. I’m making a moral argument. My method is guilt.” She says the guilt will make them support reparations.
Seriously, that's what Hannah-Jones and the Times claim. She went on to say "If you read the whole project I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations.” "A great debt is owed and it's time for this country to pay,” she said. “When my editor asks me, like, what's your ultimate goal for the project, my ultimate goal is that there'll be a reparations bill passed.” "You inherit the debt that is owed.”
Ah, "reparations." Big paydays for blacks, passed into law by guilt-ridden, credulous white liberals who now run the entire government. For blacks like Hannah-Jones and Times executive editor Dean Baquet, what's not to like?
Slate.com reported that in a staff meeting the executive editor of the Times--Dean Baquet--said filtering news through the prism of race is "a newsroom goal." The 1619 Project unquestionably does that. Baquet is quoted as having said “One reason *we all* [?] signed off on the 1619 Project and made it so ambitious and expansive was to *teach our readers* to think a little bit more *like that.*”
You probably won't be surprised to learn that executive editor Dean Baquet is black.
Because liberals take their cues from the New York Times and its partners, the Times' utterly false claims about the founding of our nation have been adopted by school districts all over the "woke" parts of our nation, with the lies being taught to all school kids. Schools are now teaching white kids to feel shame and hate themselves for being white because slavery once existed in the U.S.--as it did all over the world.
To help this happen, the Times has actually created "lesson plans," reading guides and "extension activities" [?] for schools. The anti-white liberals at the Times are pushing this ghastly, brazen, bullshit lie on defenseless white children.
Following the lead of the Times, other liberal outlets are jumping on the revisionist bandwagon: publishing giant Random House plans four 1619-themed books for young readers; its Clarkson Potter imprint is readying a 1619 Project special illustrated edition; and Ten Speed Press is set to publish a “graphic novelization” of the project.
As one observer noted, the speed with which white liberals uncritically embraced this crippling lie and pushed it into virtually all public schools is unprecedented. It's hard to avoid concluding that the purpose of all this is to teach kids to be woke white leftists when they grow up, so they'll support reparations and dumbing down standards to achieve of “Diversity, Inclusion and Equity.”
Here's the angry black racist spearhead of the lie, Hannah-Jones again: "I don't know that this project can get white people to give up whiteness,” she said, “but it can certainly expose for them what whiteness is.”
Imagine how the media and elites would react if a white person urged blacks to "give up blackness." Hell, you can't even seriously envision a white person saying such a thing--because it's so dumb.
