Hannah Nicole Jones on Europe

She is correct about Europe being a carved-out fiction, but so are nations. Is Canada separate from the US? Not in fact.
 
Oh, boy, I can see CRT being subtlety attacked via a tweet

Lets first clear the air, CRT is not, nor has ever been taught in any K-12 curriculum anywhere in the United States. Secondly, what the women tweets, or what anyone tweets as far as I am concerned, is trivial. And lastly, what she is implying is nothing new, it can be applied to just about anything, kinda like a Aquinian generic prime mover arguement for whatever suits you

Give the woman another Pulitzer, and have a drink for your lies. They are top shelf.

It is 100% your right not to care what she has to say but NHJ is a Pulitzer price winning best selling author whose work we use in our schools. She's not just some 'average Joe'. It's not about CRT rather a mindset of how we view our country. (And not every thread has to be about Trump and/or Biden.)

We've all heard the phrase "we need to have an honest conversation about race in this country". Well, she's offering a perspective about that here.

She also added this today. Do you think she's wrong?

And this is her follow up tweet to that. To me what's happening in Ukraine has huge global implications which is why we focus on it. But for the sake of discussion is she wrong that we focus more on Europe, aka white people, than other parts of the globe? If yes, should we work to change that?

'If you are NOT talking about racism 24 hours a day, ... you're a Racist'.

She has an Agenda, she's making money. She doesn't live in the World most people live in.
(there is a saying: 'Whoever Talks the most ... Wins')

Who are the 'Players' on the World Stage? G-7 Members? Or Tiny Third World Countries that nobody can find on a Map?

IMO you're right, it's the global implications that have the whole world's focus on Ukraine. I mean, Putin has been threatening nukes, and we all know how that ends. I saw someone today tweet "you better buy that thing you have saved in your cart that you think you can't afford". I laughed, but it's dark laughter. OTOH, she is right. I think the way the world treated Syrian refugees for one example, is a f'ing disgrace. And you can see the world opening their borders to Ukraine refugees in a way they never did for others. So I think there is some truth in the things she posts. (I follow her too). But not everything is true, or I should say, it's a very focused perspective. There's a lot of mixed information as to whether black people in Ukraine were really being kept off the trains. Or that was manipulated video. Because the trains were full, and there wasn't any evidence, speaking of this one particular video that was going around, that there were no black people on the train already. And of course Putin has long targeted existing racial tensions in America, so I take a lot of things I see with a grain of salt. Especially right now, in the thick of it. So much disinfo is being spread around.

Interesting. A black friend just posted this on Facebook (and I didn't know what it was in reference too):

"Damn Ukraine! The whole world is pulling for you but y’all can at least let black people get on the train to freedom too."
