I've been seeing and hearing a lot about the book The 1619 Project. :ehh:





Before I buy I want some of y'all's opinions on it and it's author. :jbhmm:





Are there any kind of agendas, inaccuracies, and tomfoolery I need to know about before I pull the trigger :francis:

Is the author Nicole Hannah Jones? If so I wouldn't discourage reading the book but she is a grifter overall. She was against Yvette and Antonio's idea of self identifying as ADOS as she was more of a "we all black" type of person. After the 1619 project backlash she hopped on the reparations circuit touring and getting a lot of speaking fees. She should have stayed in her lane reporting on school segregation she had done really good work in that field.

yeah that's her. Was the backlash from cacs or other Black scholars and thinkers?

Is there anything of significant value I can gain from reading?


This is the long form version of the NYT article that led up to the book I think. My homie recommended I check it out and go from there, but I've seen cats in other threads on here say there's some inaccuracies in the book



is there more good than bad at the end of the day?

the race grifter for white liberals who eat up this kind of thing you mentioned is a red flag for me
as is the flattening of Blackness

Is her reparations work for ADOS or the diaspora.


Off topic but have you read Amiri Barak's book on reparations? It's 50 bucks on Amazon and I haven't even cracked Sandy Darrity's book yet

The backlash was mostly from white folks for you know mentioning race in their general vicinity.

I would say read it because learning as much American history as possible is extremely important if you are ADOS as it helps contextualize your life and position in this country and world.

All in all I'm basically saying learning and understanding the history is what you can gain but avoid following Nicole Hannah Jones as she is chasing the bag.

Her reparations work initially has been advocating for America to give reparations to all blacks but it may have changed since I've last seen her comments on Twitter.

I have not read Amiri's book and I have Darity's but have not read it yet. I've been reading other political and historical books as of late. I'm finishing up Racecraft right now and I recommend it.

Nikole Hannah Jones is now a university or professor.

I haven't read the book, but I am curious to what it says, because it had a lot of far right wing extremist upset.

So she must have done something well.

I am not familiar with her having an issue with Yvette Carnell, but I do know Tariq Nasheed did. I also know that Yvette Carnell was a board-member of a far right wing anti-immigration group run by a KKK affiliate. That could be why Nikole Hannah Jones didn't want to associate with this, if true.

To my knowledge more, if not most Black Americans think like Nikole Hannah Jones.

Apparently she has a Hulu series on the 1619 Project.
