Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the presstitute New York
Times, announced on August 12, 2019, the “1619 Project” which reinvents
American history and reduces it to racism and slavery. As I wrote in my remarks on the project
on August 22, 2019, the New York Times has an agenda which is to dehumanize and
demoralize white Americans of the original colonial era ethnic stock so that
left indefensible and overwhelmed with guilt they will accept their fate as
their country is overrun by non-white immigrants touted by the New York Times
as the real founders of the country.
The 1619 Project portrays white people as
the source of all evil in America. The project is
distinctly anti-white. Nothing
comparable could be said about blacks, Jews, or any other race or ethnicity as
the 1619 Project says about white people. Only white people can be demonized like
this. It is
the intention of the New York Times that the 1619 project becomes the basis for
the American history curriculum in all schools. The
Buffalo, New York, public school system has already announced that the 1619 project
is required for all students. The teaching of hatred of white people
is on its way to being the primary goal of US education.
Liberal
historians have complained about the untruthfullness that characterizes the
project, but American liberalism has already been swept away by Identity
Politics, the ideology of the Democrat Party, which teaches that white people
are the oppressor class and everyone else is the victim class. Hillary
Clinton herself labeled the American working class the “Trump Deplorables.”
When the
New York Times announed the 1619 project, I noted the lies on which the project
rested ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/27/a-note-on-the-new-york-times-1619-project/ ). The
New York Times wrote: “In
order to understand the brutality of American capitalism you have to start on
the plantation.”
There
were no plantations in the British Virginia colony in 1619.
The 1619
Project claims that the British colonies that evolved into the United States
157 years later were racists from the beginning because 20 black slaves were
brought to Jamestown in 1619. Not that facts matter to the 1619
Project or to the New York Times, according to John Rolfe who recorded the
event at the time, the 20 Africans were a Dutch man-of-war ship captain’s
offered payment to the colony for food for which the Dutch ship was short. Historians
have corrected this original report by John Rolfe and say the ship was an
English warship, White Lion, which had seized the slaves from the Portuguese
slave ship, San Juan Bautista, in an act of piracy. To cover up the piracy,
Rolfe said the ship was Dutch.
In 1619
slavery as an institution did not exist in the Virginia colony. Slavery evolved
gradually and legally from indentured servitude and was not recognized in law
in the colony until 1662. Until that year, blacks were considered indentured
servants and some were able to gain their freedom ( https://www.nps.gov/jame/learn/historyculture/african-americans-at-jamestown.htm ).
The
importance of 1619 is not that a warship unloaded blacks, captured from the
Portuguese, in the Virginia colony. The importance of 1619 is that it was the
year that the Jamestown British colony in Virginia formed the first
representative assembly. But this is not what the NY Times emphasizes.
The 1619
Project also ignores that there were hundreds of thousands of white slaves in
addition to white indendured servents in the colonies. See,
for example, They Were White and They Were Slaves: The
Untold History of the Enslavement of Whites in Early America, 4th
Edition ( https://www.amazon.com/They-Were-White-Slaves-Enslavement/dp/0929903056/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=White+Slaves&qid=1581376154&s=books&sr=1-1#customerReviews ).
The 1619
Project further demonstrates its totally propagandistic nature by ignoring that
slavery in 1619, and for a long time before and after, was universal. Millions
of white people were held as slaves by people of color ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/03/12/whites-were-slaves-in-north-africa-before-blacks-were-slaves-in-the-new-world/ ).
The
propagandistic 1619 Project also carefully avoids asking where black slaves
came from. Did the white British colonists sail over to Africa, kidnap some black
people and and sail back to the colony with them? No. The
black king of Dahomey originated the black slave trade in his slave wars
against other black tribes. When Dahomey had more slaves than they could afford
to keep, they began selling them to Arabs and later to Europeans who needed a
work force in their new colonies. The socialist Karl Polanyi provides a
history of the black slave trade in Dahomey and the Slave Trade(1966),
a truthful account for which the propaganda known as Black Studies has no
interest. And
neither does the 1619 Project, the purpose of which is to destroy white
confidence and to teach hatred of whites who are already on the path to second
class citizenship like female Scandinavians ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/09/swedish-government-aligned-firmly-with-migrant-invader-rapist-murderers-against-swedish-women/ ).
Some critics of the anti-white 1619
Project interpret it as an effort of a Jewish newspaper to shift black
Americans’ focus on Jewish slave traders to whites instead. The
Black Muslims’ book series, The secret Relationship Between
Blacks and Jews, reveals that Jews were major beneficiaries of
the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Various Jewish authors are the sources
for this conclusion. One
wrote that “Jews were about twice as likely to be slave owners as the average
white Southerner,” and another wrote that “in all the American colonies,
whether French, British, or Dutch, Jewish merchants frequently dominated” the
slave trade ( https://www.unz.com/article/jews-selling-blacks-book-stirs-reparations-movement/ ).
In a book
titled Jews Selling Blacks: Slave-Sale Advertising By American
Jews, the Black Muslims published a large collection of the
actual historical ads that Jewish slave traders placed in newspapers
advertising black slaves for sale. Needless to
say, the books published by the Black Muslims are banned by amazon.com on
orders from the Jewish Anti-Defamation League.
The New York Times “1619 Project” is
just another falsification of history like World War I, World War II, the
so-called Civil War, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy,
Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X, the USS Liberty, 9/11 and on and on. The
difference is that the 1619 Project fosters in the minds of racial minorities,
which demographics show to be temporary minorities, the belief that people of
color are morally superior to white people, with the consequence that in the
future white people will face second class citizenship if not genocide.
There can be no doubt whatsoever that
the New York Times, whether intentionally or stupidly, is destroying racial,
social and political stability in the United States. The social violence that
will result from teaching hatred of white people will be horrendous.
