10 Lies from ‘The 1619 Project’ Founder
10 Lies from ‘The 1619 Project’ Founder
The woman who made critical race theory mainstream has issued several misleading or objectively false statements about race and the world.
From Fox News. While promoting a revised look at U.S. history, New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones has pushed some highly misleading and outrageous claims…
Here are just 10 of the more outrageous statements and tweets Hannah-Jones has said or written since 2019.
Cuba is the “most equal multiracial county” due to socialism.
Appearing on a podcast with Ezra Klein in 2019, Hannah-Jones promoted Cuba as a country with a “viable and sufficiently ambitious integration agenda” due primarily to socialism….
She previously wrote an article on The Oregonian in 2008 where she boasted that Cuba had a very high literacy rate, a low HIV-infection rate, universal education, and a “model” universal health care system that assisted Black Cubans.
Millions of Americans ‘don’t mind’ open racism
In January, fellow New York Times reporter Matthew Rosenberg tweeted out a comment calling media pundits to “spend more time thinking” why more people trust popular podcast host Joe Rogan over journalists. Hannah-Jones responded by claiming that “millions of Americans” have been accepting “open racism” for years….
‘Going out to eat is not a Constitutional right’
Later in January, Hannah-Jones responded to podcast host Coleman Hughes’ tweet questioning why those who argue that voter ID laws are racist against minorities do not make the same argument for vaccine ID laws.
She tweeted out “Going out to eat is not a Constitutional right. Stop,” though later deleted the comment with no explanation. In an additional tweet that has remained up, Hannah-Jones asked “show me where” eating out is “in the Constitution….”
There is a difference between ‘racially Black’ and ‘politically Black’
Shortly after President Biden claimed that someone “ain’t Black” if they couldn’t decide between him and President Trump in the 2020 election, Hannah-Jones appeared to agree with him, stating that being politically Black was different from being “racially Black….”
World War II bomb was dropped ‘because they’d spent all this money developing it’
While Hannah-Jones has been criticized for offering revisionist history regarding the founding of the U.S., she also appeared to revise history from World War II in November. After saying that she felt “ashamed” of the U.S. at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, she argued back against critics by claiming the atomic bomb dropped in 1945 was because of the investment in it rather than to end the war….
She deleted the comment but later followed up with “This is American exceptionalism — justify anything, no latter [sic] how craven and barbaric, because America is the greatest country on the earth.”
Destroying property ‘is not violence’
In June 2020, during the height of Black Lives Matter protests and riots, Hannah-Jones made the controversial claim that the destruction of property should not be described as violence….
‘Tipping is a legacy of slavery’
In March, Hannah-Jones responded to former MSNBC host Touré Neblett regarding his opinion on tipping in restaurants. While both agreed that tipping should be unnecessary, she added that tipping itself is a legacy of slavery….
The Civil War began in 1865
“We did not stop the expansion of slavery, and enslavers dominated the presidency, Senate and Supreme Court until 1865, when the North was reluctantly drawn into a war that ultimately ended slavery,” Hannah-Jones wrote in a series of tweets….
“It was poorly worded, I meant until 1865 ended the war, which the North had been reluctantly drawn into,” Hannah-Jones tweeted…
Fireworks were used to disrupt Black Lives Matter movement
While Hannah-Jones did not author the tweets, she alerted her followers to a thread in 2020 that alleged fireworks in New York were being used in an effort “meant to disorient and destabilize” Black Lives Matter supporters….
Europe is ‘not a continent,’ Ukraine alarm is a racist ‘dog whistle’
Days after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Hannah-Jones wrote a highly controversial statement that claimed Europe is not a continent “by definition” and concern over Ukraine’s invasion is a “dog whistle” for racial bias….

Father, thank you for revealing these lies. Open people’s eyes to them and bring the truth to them. I pray for Hannah-Jones that she might come to you and be redeemed and delivered from the lies she believes.
There are those who claim we aren’t a Christian nation. However, every single state constitution makes a reference to He/Him, God, Our Lord, Supreme Ruler (of the Universe). This even applies to territories. The only one that doesn’t seem to contain such a reference is U.S. Virgin Islands: https://www.usconstitution.net/states_god.html
I mention this, because the same that push CRT, say we aren’t a Christian Nation, and they are wrong, on both counts.
No surprises here. Jesus taught us that satan is the father of lies. Karl Marx worshiped satan, Saul Alinsky worshiped Lucifer as the first radical known to man in an epigraph in his book ‘Rules for Radicals,’ and the Left just follows lock-step in lie after lie.
Heavenly Father, your Word tells us to put away falsehood and speak the truth, for we are all members of one body. (Ephesians 4:25.) Please help us to value truth and expose falsehood wherever we encounter it.
“Keep your tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking deceit.” ~ Psalm 34:13
