It’s documented facts asshole


The 1619 Project is a long-form journalism endeavor developed by Nikole Hannah-Jones, writers from The New York Times, and The New York Times Magazine which "aims to reframe the country's history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of the United States' national narrative."[1] The first publication stemming from the project was in The New York Times Magazine of August 2019 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in the English colony of Virginia.[2] These were also the first Africans in mainland British America, though Africans had been in other parts of North America since the 1500s. The project also developed an educational curriculum, supported by the Pulitzer Center, later accompanied by a broadsheet article, live events, and a podcast.[3] On May 4, 2020, the Pulitzer Prize board announced that they were awarding the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary to project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones for her introductory essay.[4][5]

New York Times corrects The 1619 Project — but it’s still a giant lie
https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/new-york-times-corrects-the-1619-project-but-its-still-a-giant-lie/

An Update to The 1619 Project
Today we are making a clarification to a passage in an essay from The 1619 Project that has sparked a great deal of online debate.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/magazine/an-update-to-the-1619-project.html

Hannah Jones' central thesis in the 1619 Project is that slaves, slavery, and Blacks were central to the rise of colonial America and the subsequent development of America as a nation. Nothing could be further from the truth. The majority of colonies in pre-US history were slave free. Slaves constituted a small minority of the population and were concentrated in a single endeavor: What today would be called "Agribusiness."

That is, they were almost entirely being used in the operation of large (again by today's standard) corporate factory farm operations. Outside that particular portion of the economy slavery was virtually absent.

Yet, Jones in her book tries to put slavery and Blacks as central to the rise of America. It's pure bullshit and her use of some academics in the area of Black Studies at universities--who themselves often create bullshit and lies to further racism from a Black perspective, does nothing to add credibility to her rather puerile and completely fictional work. Yet, a university was stupid enough--or cowed by racism of a sort--to hire her to teach there.

Oh, and cutting and pasting from Wikipedia doesn't give your post credibility. Jones' work is bullshit.

Most write academic papers and most lesbian dance theory profs don't write conservatively.

Is there a difference between liberal and conservative lesbian dance theory?

There are many economics professors who write conservative economic theory--Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell. They somehow got hired and indoctrinate students in conservative thought.

I used to but then the real world got a hold of me. College is a waste of time and money for most people. I remember a time before the govt got involved in student loans when going to college was affordable and it was barely worthwhie then let alone now with the asinine majors they have. They don't teach thinking they teach memorization. How do I know? Here's the mantra....."Will that being the test?"
Click to expand...

It may not be necessary for most people, but it helps for doctors, lawyers, engineers, dentists, teachers, historians, economists, nurses, chemists.....

Very little memorization occurs in universities today. Critical thinking activities is stressed and often required as part of the accreditation process.

Agreed. There's the choice factor just like the OP in this thread. Only dummies don't see it.

Morals vary, but as Cypress and I have discussed a few times on the Nice Thread, there is a hunt for a universal human morality. We disagree a bit on the details. LOL

Statistics indicate that most college graduates are Democrats, not Republicans.

First off, you are reporting an admittedly conservative survey posted on a recognized conservative website, did you expect the conclusions to be anything different?

And secondly, “primarily those in the humanities,” and you are surprised the majority leaned left? Did you think you were going to find a lot of conservative Sociology professors. In addition, not citing where, and who were the seven schools surveyed, is dishonest, NYC has over a hundred colleges in the City itself, don’t think you are going to find a lot of conservative teachers in NYU or Harper?

Sure if you took the same survey in a Mississippi or even Texas you’d find the opposite, especially if you went outside the humanities

You offered “proof” of nothing except your willingness to swallow anything anybody tells you that you want to believe is true

Throughout the second half of the 20th century, Americans without college degrees were more likely than university graduates to vote Democratic. But that gap began narrowing in the late 1960s before finally flipping in 2004.

John F. Kennedy lost college-educated voters by a two-to-one margin yet won the presidency thanks to overwhelming support among white voters without a degree. Sixty years later, our second Catholic president charted a much different path to the White House, losing non-college-educated whites by a two-to-one margin while securing 60 percent of the college-educated vote. The latest New York Times/Siena poll of the 2022 midterms showed this pattern holding firm, with Democrats winning 55 percent of voters with bachelor’s degrees but only 39 percent of those without.

A more educated Democratic coalition is, naturally, a more affluent one. In every presidential election from 1948 to 2012, white voters in the top 5 percent of America’s income distribution were more Republican than those in the bottom 95 percent. Now, the opposite is true: Among America’s white majority, the rich voted to the left of the middle class and the poor in 2016 and 2020, while the poor voted to the right of the middle class and the rich.

In political-science parlance, the collapse of the New Deal–era alignment — in which voters’ income levels strongly predicted their partisan preference — is often referred to as “class dealignment.” The increasing tendency for politics to divide voters along educational lines, meanwhile, is known as “education polarization.”

That won't work, sorry. What makes them "self-identified Marxist"? What exactly does that mean? Marxism is an socioeconomic theory. Of course they would study that in economics and social studies.

I doubt you would find a Marxist in many universities. This is a made up thing for extreme right wingers to obsess about.

Sure they do. Here's an example:

UNC hires ‘1619 Project’ author to teach journalism
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/29/unc-hires-1619-project-author-teach-journalism/

The 1619 Project has been shown conclusively to be a lie. The New York Times had to print a retraction to that effect after it came out because numerous historians panned it as a LIE. Yet, UNC hired its author, a now proven LIAR, as a professor to teach classes there.

Why do all the authoritaraians want to dictate who each college and university must hire?

You give an example without evidence. How is anyone to know that the author wasn't hired to teach about lying, if at all? What are the details? How does a single instance make all colleges and universities worthy of being shut down by Trumpers?

I bet if you ask nicely, Terry will hold up a list of 205 Marxists. :thup:

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/mccarthy-says-communists-are-in-state-department
Speaking before the Ohio County Women’s Republican Club in Wheeling, West Virginia, Senator McCarthy waved before his audience a piece of paper. According to the only published newspaper account of the speech, McCarthy said that, “I have here in my hand a list of 205 [State Department employees] that were known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department.” In the next few weeks, the number fluctuated wildly, with McCarthy stating at various times that there were 57, or 81, or 10 communists in the Department of State. In fact, McCarthy never produced any solid evidence that there was even one communist in the State Department.

I'd start with Peter McLaren at UCLA in their college of education:

Tracks to Infinity, The Long Road to Justice: The Peter McLaren Reader, Volume II (Marxist, Socialist, and Communist Studies in Education)
https://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Justice-Socialist-Communist-Education-ebook/dp/B0839LCPDJ

This Fist Called My Heart: The Peter McLaren Reader, Volume I (Marxist, Socialist, and Communist Studies in Education)
https://www.amazon.com/This-Fist-Called-Heart-Socialist/dp/1681234521

He is openly and unabashedly a Communist / Marxist.

Sandy Grande at the U. of Conn. is another.

She writes extensively on Marxism and applying it to indigenous peoples.
