Give Nikole Hannah-Jones credit for candor. The architect of the “1619 Project” isn’t trying to hoodwink anybody — she admits that she’s rewriting history to make Americans stop admiring their country, reconsider capitalism, and convince them to subvert all of society.

Of her critics, she said that “the backlash was inevitable.” That’s because “if there’s racial progress, it would be met by racist progress.”

She claimed, “Powerful people don’t want people making those connections [between slavery and capitalism] because narrative drives policy, and if we start to say the inequality I see, right, whether it be class or race, is because we are a society built on anti-blackness that the legacy of slavery of labor exploitation, of racial capitalism shaping our society, then we support different policies.”

“If I think everyone has the same opportunities in America and where black people struggle it’s because of their own pathology, then I support regressive individualistic policy that doesn't change the structure or hierarchy or inequality in our society,” she explained to her fawning moderator and an even more obsequious audience in the mostly white leafy suburb 20 minutes from Washington, D.C.

“I hope that this doesn’t sound demeaning to anyone,” Hannah-Jones said condescendingly. “But I realize a lot of people don’t understand what historiography is. … Historiography is always unearthing new information and making new interpretations of old information.”
