New York Times luminary Nikole Hannah-Jones, architect of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1619 Project, touched off a social-media uproar Friday after drawing a distinction between being “politically black and being racially black.”
“There is a difference between being politically black and being racially black,” tweeted Ms. Hannah-Jones. “I am not defending anyone, but we all know this and should stop pretending that we don’t.”
Despite insisting that she was not defending “anyone,” Ms. Hannah-Jones made her comments shortly after former Vice President Joseph R. Biden suggested that only Democrat-voting blacks are truly black in a heated exchange with radio host Charlamagne Tha God.

With a name like that, you know she has got to be obnoxious and smug.

I love how the media is sucking up the poison of trying to protect the losers in the dem party. The "party" Blacks (AKA plantation Blacks) try to defend Biden's obvious cluelessness about race. The "party" feminists (AKA party gals) try to defend Biden's obvious slimy proclivities toward woman. Taking in this poison, they die.
I guess when you are "politically" Black or feminist, honest evaluation and discussion is unneeded. Good to know. We can now just dismiss them as dying political hacks.

It is wonderful watching the liberal media tie themselves into knots trying to justify Stinkfinger Joe's sexual assaults and racist blatherings.

The 1619 Project is a New York Times creation for the sole purpose of destroying president Trump. Democrats hope it will serve to turn out more black voters this fall, but I think it's going to turn off more voters, no matter their color.

Just the phrase "politically black" is a dead give away. Just apply it to any other ethnic group and see how it sounds. If you don't get it, then you don't get it!

She’s a political slave and a racial slave. She could be free if she would change her perspective, like Clarence Thomas did. I thoroughly enjoyed the recent PBS airing of ‘’Clarence Thomas: In His Own Words.’’ From 60’s radical time a staunch defender of the constitution because he was not afraid to study and work. It’s a tried and true formula for success in this great country for anyone with the fortitude and determination to implement it.

What heated exchange, Ms. Richardson? Charlamagne didn't get heated; he didn't even challenge Crazy Joe. The comments at Hip Hollywood are great. In some cases, the field hands jump on any black commenter for telling the truth, but all they do is play the race game. As for Nikole hyphened last name, her 1619 Project is full of crap, so she is a proven liar; who cares what she thinks?

Never heard of her. I've heard of "Harfing". Maybe we should add "Jonesing". In a different context, of course.

A distinction without a difference, Nikole?

More Bovine Scatology from the Left.
Reminds me of the 'Watermelon' (Green on the outside, Red on the inside) 'environmental' activists when they talk about 'Good' CO-2 versus 'Bad CO-2'. (It's Good or Bad depending on if THEY approve of the thing being burned that produces the CO-2....... but CO-2 is CO-2, there is no difference in the molecule regardless of where it comes from.

So according to this very politically black Nikole Hanna-Jones you are either in the 'big house' or you are a cotton picker in the field but you can't be both. I understand some can be more racist than others like Uncle Toms. As a person of no color I'm understanding what 'down for the struggle' means it's all in your mind how you react the human gaff machine, Joe Biden.

What a bunch of hooey, right from the get-go.
Since when has there been a luminary at the NYT? Or a Pulitzer Prize for architecture? Or a political orientation called Black?
This is almost twisted enough to be a Picasso painting or an acid trip (or at least a Weird Al Yankovic song).

So does that mean that she considers the pasty white Bubba Clinton to be 'politically black'? How generous of her to deny blacks the right to think for themselves. I so hope that blacks and other minorities are watching this stuff, and thinking about how Trump has been the best thing to hit this nation in our lifetime.

Kinda like when she said there is a difference between being historically accurate and advancing her narrative in her work of fiction and her version was more truthful than actial historical facts.

FTA: "Ms. Hannah-Jones won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary earlier this month for her essay introducing the 1619 Project, which held that the true American founding was the year that the first African slaves were shipped to the colonies."
1. "Colonies". In 1619, that would only be Jamestown, as Plymouth wasn't founded until 1620 and nobody knew what happened to Roanoke. Only English colony on mainland North American, that is.
2. "Shipped." The people being sold at Jamestown were booty from a "privateering" raid on Spanish ships. The Spanish were shipping the people to work in the Mexican silver mines. The "privateers" (aka pirates) were probably employees of the Virginian Company doing a little moonlighting before returning to England.
3. They were probably hoping for a more lucrative haul, since they had no legal market for thier booty. Spanish colonies would have arrested them as pirates. British colonies were not supposed to be trafficking in slaves.
4. Jamestown colonial authorities (such as they were) denied the privateers permission to sell the people in their colony. Amazingly, people will to break one set of rules were willing to break this one, too. They snuck off to one of the satellite settlements and sold them there.
Personally, I'm glad they did, since both genealogy and DNA indicate that I had two ancestors in the "twenty and odd."
