1619 Project architect Nikole Hannah-Jones is living proof that you can parlay racebaiting woke politics and historical revisionism into a successful journalism career if you play your cards right.
That’s why she continues to be invited to opine on ostensible news networks like MSNBC, home to ostensible news shows like “Morning Joe.”
Here she is today:

Deprogramming Trump supporters will definitely be an uphill battle, thanks in no small part to their firm belief that, as a “white labor force,” they’re “still above the lowest person on the totem pole,” aka minorities:

Thank you for that brilliant insight, Nikole.

Seriously, does she have white people pegged or what?
Which doesn’t explain why Republicans gained votes amongst POC.

Rich folks think the labor force can afford to care more about race than putting food on their table. ?

That’s essentially what her argument boils down to. And she’ll be celebrated for it. Because woke racism is not only acceptable racism, it’s celebrated racism.
It’s really remarkable that professional people get away with saying these things. It’s one thing to be a nutty weirdo on social media. It’s another to get invited on major platforms and hold prestigious positions to spout what is genuinely racist garbage. https://t.co/BkpzkPNUQq

The normalization of blanket disparaging statements about white people – again, not from average people but those with platform – is really revolting.

If people are not judged individually by their words and deeds, but rather, as groups defined exclusively by the color of their skin, what is it that? Just as it would be unacceptable to do with any other demographic group, it’s wrong to do here. Enough.
