A Black Man Looks At The 1619 Project

Not all black folks have bought into the lie that America was founded only on the institution of slavery. This lie is basically what the 1619 Project tries to portray as the foundation of America.

But Mychal Massie, writing in https://www.wnd.com for May 2nd gives the lie to Nikole Hannah-Jones now infamous 1619 Project, which, though wildly inaccurate, is now taught in many public schools as “history.” Mr. Massie is black. He starts off his article by saying that: “I’ve said it before, and I say it again. The 1619 Project is a lie from the pit of hell. It has prostituted one of the most ghastly and hideously loathsome promoters of the continued Marxian objectives of democrats since their demonic origins.”

And Mr. Massie continues: “Maria Buenano wrote: “At the heart of nuanced social justice training lies a subset of ideologies most infamously aligned with Critical Race Theory and the Marxist movement. This training is known as the 1619 Project, and the notably Marxist ideologies which support its founding principles would make any well-read scholar write off the project as political doctrine that cannot exist outside the realm of metaphorical fiction. Despite its lack of historical accuracy, the doctrine has been introduced academically and professionally across America. Jones and the New York Times Magazine changed the founding date of the United States of America from Julym4, 1776, to Aug. 20, 1619–the daym20 (allegedly) enslaved Africans first arrived on Virginia soil. How convenient; if the actual date doesn’t fit your narrative, simply change it to a date that does,:

Mr. Massie observed that: “The problem with these lies and the malicious attempts to recast factual history is that the purveyors of same can fraudulently change dates, but they cannot change the history that occurred on those specific dates. Jones and her accomplices at the New York Times Magazine cannot change the facts surrounding Anthony Johnson. In 1651 Anthony Johnson (a so-called black man) owned 250 acres, and the services of four white and one black indentured servants. The black indentured servant, John Casor, demanded that Johnson release him after his seven years of indenture. Johnson refused; a legal battle that reached all the way to the State Supreme Court in Northampton, Virginia, ensued, with Johnson prevailing. Thus, a black man was responsible for slavery.” Bet this is history you were never taught in school. I know I wasn’t.

Massie asked the question–how could even the most incompetent journalists could have erred by so much? But, then he answered his own question by saying: “Unless, of course, they were natural born pernicious liars obsessed with spreading falsehoods. Then again, such is the history of the New York Times Magazine and those who write for it.” Mr. Massie’s article is interesting. If you can get it on the link I provided, by all means read his entire article.

Massie concluded his article by saying: “What I have written is not even the tip of the historical facts and truths that Hannah-Jones and those like her want hidden and erased. That’s because these truths threaten to free the minds of those enslaved on plantations of lies and misinformation intended to further Marxian cultural division. This division only works when the Hannah-Jones types are able to rewrite and erase factual history…” And so it goes. More and more Marxist types are putting forth narratives of history that will not pass the smell test and these fake narratives are being gobbled up by school systems across the country that are less than eager to teach real history but can’t wait to fill our kids full of what amounts to Marxist propaganda posing as history. And some still wonder why we have major problems with the public schools!
