- Five years ago, investigative journalist Nikole Hannah Jones, in collaboration with other journalists and historians, published a longform piece in the New York Times Magazine, called The 1619 Project. The project, first published in August 2019, marked the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery, and it aims to put race, the consequences of slavery, and the contributions of black Americans at the center of our national narrative. In the years since, Donald Trump’s GOP has launched a sweeping effort against the ideas at the core of the 1619 project, and other initiatives to address issues of race and identity.

This lady steals Yvette Carnells material and goes before the public as if it's hers.

Exactly! Racist always prove their racism and hate, they’re not smart enough to hide it.when you live with a lie it comes out eventually
America fears two things the most: people who tell the truth about it and successful Black people. Ms Jones is both. May she be blessed with safety and security.
@6time686 it did not. Her work continues the erasure via paper genocide of the aboriginal "Blacks". When infant, slave ship logs prove more aboriginal "Blacks" were shipped out of "America" than to.
Well, some of America. Let's not let the strokes be too broad.

They always do
America was founded on liberalism. Most of the founding fathers were abolishinist. America banned slavery before any african country did. Dont be a sheep
America freed the slaves and whites ended the practice of slavery that africans started thousands of yrs ago. Africa still has slaves and the black american ghetto is the most hateful, racist, sexist place in the world. Whos the bigots?
Ya they should be allowed to teach any history not checked, and if they question that proves it, duh.
America is ashamed of its history. And rightly so.
It should be more ashamed of its present
They weren't ashamed up to the 20th century when they were creating it. And even today this is reflected in the fact that the 13th.amendment still makes chattel slavery legal via it's exception clause that says that slavery is legal for those duly convicted of a crime. So America is still a roaring hypo rite in 2024.
They're not ashamed, they just don't want their young to know the plight others suffered upon their ancestorial actions. Shame will not bring anger when truth is told.
@@mf568Facts 💯 🎯 They'd do it all over again if they could...

The consistent rebuttal of the 1619 project is American gaslighting at its finest..
I read The 1619 Project 3 times 3-4 years ago. Must read again!! Brutal truth. Straight up, no chaser.
Hmm
"The Brutal Truth"? And so what? What you seem to be saying is utterly meaningless.
Ya already slaves in US but only blacks matter, and that's not racist
Will Trump cancel Holocaust studies as well?
Nope. He only attacks 'certain' groups of people.
It's easier to oppress one group at a time
Given the opportunity, he would. Because he's a massive anti-semite and a huge fan of Hitler. He doesn't so much support Israel, as he really supports Netanyahu, because he really hates Muslims and all people of color.
He hasn't canceled Ivanka and son in law
He should. No point in having 'studies' of a fictional event
Nicole Hannah-Jones is a hero of mine. I'm a white woman who grew up in the 60-70's Texas. I knew our founding documents didn't reflect me or my Black or Latino fellow travelers. But even I, someone who thought herself enlightened, became angry the first time I read the 1619 Project. I sat the book aside and came back to it again after their words had time to get past emotion. When I reread the book, I understood better what they wanted me to know. I think this is a good day, a Sunday, to start rereading again.
Kudos to you for recognizing how big a part emotion plays in our cognitive process. The ability to come back to something that is uncomfortable to seek out the full value of it is commendable. I believe this is part of why our political situation of divisiveness is so bad right now. Neither side wants to recognize that there is no righteous side, that the situation is both complex and emotionally charged, and the sometimes (well most of the time) we don't receive information (spoken or written) while we're thinking about our response, our side, what we want to be heard. Difficult times. Thanks for the steady navigation. I hope people ready your comment and think about it.
Happy reading! Thanks for your honesty.
What specifically got you emotional ?
Finish it, you got emotional over what, exactly?
We are about the same age but I am from Florida!!! I agree with you. Florida also had a lot to hide
Being a white man myself I am not worried about people pointing out the bad stuff about our nation. Denying it is admittance that it still exists. I like learning from all people. They are just trying to make their way in life like me. And our conversation is seldom about race relations.
You have little to worry about because the truth of black history is seldom heard. White America spends a lot of time squashing the truth and pushing back black progress until it seldom poses any threat. People like yourself should change that!
👏👏👏👏 "Denying it is admittance that it still exists" .....You get it.
Can you teach other whites this please
I being a white woman
At age 73 also a liberal Have been educating myself on the civil rights movement of the 1950’s/1960’s starting with Malcom x. I had no idea about this author’s battle in this day and age upon reporting the truth of her people and the history of this country. I am and will continue to stand with the truth. As our stupid Florida governor has such a proclamation that slaves learned skills by being slaves. Is beyond anything I thought I’d ever hear in the 2000’s. Besides being appalled at such a statement being uttered who could support such a political party from such an appalling statement.
America is multi racial and everyone deserves equality and equity. Jobs that are of authority and high salary should not only be reserved for people who identify as white.

8:09 she says if you actually read the project, it's patriotic. And that's the wild thing. The core essay grapples with why her dad is so patriotic. Then it goes into how Black Americans made America so true to our written ideals
It is a testament to American Blacks that they don't want revenge but want the true promise of America's ideals. And they have proven that they will do the work to get us there. When Obama became president, he didn't work toward revenge, he worked toward equity. THAT is what detractors can't understand. If the roles had been reversed, they would have wanted revenge and they just can't understand that others could want fairness and a level playing field. I am a child of desegregation and it taught me so much. I have much more to learn and I will do that work because I believe as you do, that we CAN be a better nation.

Trump is the consequence of the neoconservative agenda that began in the 70s’ . Several republicans became concerned by the nineties how influential the neoconservative movement was becoming. The ones with a conscience have passed away and now what’s left behind is the likes of Mitch McConnell the chief architect of the anti democratic movement in the US . The republicans under his leadership ushered the rise of Trump and his MAGA movement. Mary Trump was one of the first people to call out McConnell and it’s amazing how little attention is ever paid to him considering the damage he has caused to the nation that will take decades to recover.

thanks for revisiting this story, Mr Velshi. it’s important to connect these dots
The 1619 Project is a definitive milestone in American historical writing. It lucid, accurate and fair. If America wants to progress, it has to be understood as one of the many truths of what America was and how it came to be what it as and a tool to help it become a better form of itself.
If America was never great, then what's the point?
@ausername8699 that's just silly. We need to be some sort of perfect to be great?
Nonsense
Great for a few , Rich landowners in the beginning, that expanded to the typical white American after wwii with a large white middle class and now its regressing again with the middle class and poor getting poorer and rich getting richer.
If you ask an English person they would say the war of independence started because a few rich merchants didn't want to pay taxes.

@@MatthewBretton-cu2el they would be wrong in that over-simplification. Like most things, the motivations are various and complex in their interconnections.

I pray the next generation of young leaders gets introduced to this book a lot earlier than I did.
We have access to this information, we just didn’t seek it out. We didn’t listen to black voices, or read books by black people, like James Baldwin. I was a child when I learned this stuff (granted the book is brilliant and lays things out in an easily digestible way). But it was my parents that brought the information to me, then I just wanted to know more. Especially when visiting historic sites in the south.

The state of our race within our community has completely eroded because of statements like the one you just made. The days of when our ancestors love, supported and lifted each other up through all that they went through is truly dead and probably never coming back. Your ugly comment just confirmed that. I appreciate the James Baldwin recommendation and blessings. Everything else you could have kept to yourself. I’m not going to let you ruin the journey I’m on. I know when someone is trying to talk down to me. Not having it!!!!!! You want to send me a blessing, please do not send me another comment. I don’t want to hear anything else you have to say. Good Day.
If you took offense to my comment, just please ignore it and move on. I can’t let someone who I didn’t grow up with, tell me what I had and I what I didn’t have access to. Please keep those thoughts to yourself. Thank you.

I have not read this woman's writings. However, I have studied the antebellum period of American history and specific events leading up to the Civil War. The 2nd Amendment was written by James Madison and Patrick Henry, two large Virginia slave owners, to protect state militia slave patrols. All able bodied white men in the antebellum South served in the state militias to enforce BLACK CHATTEL SLAVE LAWS. The 2nd Amendment isn't about protecting freedom but about keeping black people in chains. Plantation cotton growing was America's biggest cash export commodity in the antebellum period. The whole entire antebellum South was a police state, very similar to a modern fascist or communist police state. American slavery was extremely violent. Those 2nd Amendment state militia slave patrols enforced black chattel slave laws with the mounted militiamen on horseback, the lash, the musket,bloodhounds and hangman's rope.
They brought blacks here unlawfully now it's a real problem as they advance.

The truth sets you free ! .
I would sue the NYT.
Loved this book and quickly became one of my favorite reads✊🏿 Thank you black woman
@6time686 it did not. Her work continues the erasure via paper genocide of the aboriginal "Blacks". When infant, slave ship logs prove more aboriginal "Blacks" were shipped out of "America" than to.
The 1619 Project is a must read. Brilliant shocking illuminating and necessary

Would you want to lose your Olympic gold metals for the 100 meter dash if you won them by running only 80 meters while everyone else had to run the full 100 meters?
1619 very important project, thank you for sharing
Excellent interview. Can't wait to read The 1619 Project.
The 1619 Project is brilliant. I highly recommend it. America itself is castle made of sand.
Keep speaking on it. We arent worried about them.
Truth is hated in this country. Why? Because this is Babylon.
I feel so ashamed that I haven't read this book yet. That's about to change...
I was talking about this the other day. When discussing the BLM era, *it must be highlighted* the battle scars that the pro-BLM individuals accumulated.
ESPECIALLY...the Steve and the Myrtle Urkels.
Mental, verbal, psychological, etc. abuse is the more.... *civilized* version of modern Antiblackness.
And the 'nerdy, over-thinking' pro-black people whomst see it clearest. Are seen as well.
Much respect to her.
🚶🏿

trump madly rambles on, while President Biden gets things done
Biden done a lot of things higher everything.
Trump never did that.
@@diversityisweakness9051 maga tears
That's hilarious! Just what has Biden got done? He's got done giving aid to the illegals. He got done NOT helping our homeless or our vets. He's got done allowing food prices to go higher. He's got done not protecting our borders. He's got done not helping end the high crime from the influx of illegals. He sure has gotten a lot of things done!!!
@@diversityisweakness9051 Nobody accused Democrats of having high standards.

Ali, love the show but why aren't your shows archived? I think you are one of the best on MSNBC but I can't seem to watch your show like I can with Nicole Wallace and Chris Hayes ... or any of the weekly shows. I don't need a response but I would to watch your shows when I can.

Whatever politics you subscribe to whatever beliefs you profess whatever race you belong to: to dismiss slavery has got to be one of God's punishable sin. Absolutely no doubt about it.
No one, not even your bigots, dismisses slavery as historical fact. A LOT of people dismiss God, though.
Every individual has a story and everyone should be able to tell their experiences and truth. Today's present will be history and no one should ever try to delete an individual's present or future.
She shouldn't be surprised.
How they reacted proved her point.
Just waiting for the "What about the Irish", "What about the African kings" and their favorite inflating the number of black slave holders.
Black people started slavery airbics transported them to other countries and whitey ends it but gets blame for starting it and don't for get the 1st slave owners in America were black people there were more black slave owners then there were white slave owners you know that prison cell door is unlocked all you have to do is open it and do your own thinking
Facts
They NEVER mention kidnapping at all.
They never mention that if you buy your own family, you're still documented as a slave owner.
@@mikochild2 Exactly.
I appreciate you bringing this up
Those who are most upset about the 1619 project are realizing everything that people told them is not true.
They are finding out that they are not superior to everyone else.
They need to wake up!!!👍👍👍💯💯💯⌛️⏰️
In stamped from the beginning one of the most interesting parts is the debate over teaching slaves Christianity
Thank you . Insightful. Answers some questions I had, Appreciated ❤❤
Thanks. Im going to get this book. 👍
Everyone who lives in America should read this book.
4:05 "It claims that encouraging people to consider race and systems of oppression is, in itself, a form of racial discrimination". Strictly speaking, it IS racial discrimination, but discrimination is not inherently good or bad. When you're picking out fruit at the supermarket, you're discriminating based on size, color, firmness etc. What makes discrimination good or bad is whether the basis for that discrimination is just. Denying rights to black people just because they're black is clearly unjust; attempting to counterbalance America's infinity-long history of racism through affirmative action is just.
Of course hypocrites think that way. If discrimination wasn't practiced then affirmative action would have been a thing. If you worked for a year and was only paid half of your money and found out you were wronged how would YOU want to be treated?
@@Rick-og6oyyou shouldn't have tried to explain bcus the original commenter is clearly comparing food to enire ethnic group/s of people.
Considering race and systems of oppression is not a form of discrimination. Discrimination is the process of depriving someone of their rightful opportunities because of their race. That's what has been practiced in this country for centuries. It happened to Asians, Jews, Irish, Italians and Blacks. The white power structure developed the blueprint and some people in our society are now hyper-sensitive, because an intellectual discourse is causing the light to be shined on its historical practice and how it has negatively affected our society as a whole. Taking a long hard honest look at race and systems of discrimination is the beginning of the effort to find a solution. We can't "ignore away" a problem.
@@danewoods7880 You really should have read my entire comment. Discrimination is not, as you said, "the process of depriving someone of their rightful opportunities because of their race", if only because that definition is so narrow that it excludes every other form of objectionable discrimination; what you described is specifically unjust racial discrimination. Discrimination is just the act of distinguishing between things, especially when preference is given to one over another. If, for example, there were absolutely no discrimination in hiring, then the first person who applied for any job would be hired, regardless of their qualifications, background etc. My point was that calling something "discrimination" says nothing about whether it is good. The justness or unjustness of discrimination depends on the context. Black people in America have endured centuries of systemic deprivation, and can not be made full and equal citizens, can not truly be said to receive the same opportunities and privileges afforded to white people, without at least some preference given to them. That is discrimination, it is on the basis of race, and it is just.
@@03cornbread If you think my comment compared food to entire ethnic groups, you did not actually read my comment.
This is a great book. Every American should read it.
Thos blacks leaning Trump should listen to this.
Most stupid people ever. How could they?
To this day, it still astonishes me how some Black americans are so afraid of the fact that historically (and even to this day) white people had horribly racist policies targeted against black people before and after slavery. This idea that now since slavery is gone everything is somewhat better and racism somehow vanished is the biggest ruse being pushed by every collective group involved. Those groups and individuals involved do it to protect their own fragile egos that their history isn't as rose-y as they wish and so all minorities, especially black people, will suffer for it. They just don't realise they're also hurting white people in the process. Make no mistake, every evil person does things for their own benefit, and so to them there is no wrong doing whatsoever in their own eyes. In other words, evil is in fact pure ignorance and nothing more.
😂🤡and all of a sudden forget about the inflation, high grocery bill, high rent, high credit card debt (if you can even get one), ongoing wars, migrants crisis competing for resources meant for black folk.? 😆😂biden has had 4 years n let's not forget Biden created bills that took a generation of black men out of the home creating a prison pipeline cycle that still exists today.
and yet they won’t because they are tired of being held down in the democratic plantation
Really? Good luck….It absolutely embarrassing as a race.
There were only 20 People on That Ship 😮😮😮😮!!!!!!!
The truth hurts!
