  1. I don’t trust this clown

  2. Whack chick, get over it

  3. There were people of many races and background throughout the world that were slaves way before the trans Atlantic slave trade….. Their descendants did fine and didn't look at themselves as "Victims"…. Why the exception with just this one group …

  4. All black people ever wanted was peace.

  5. Before modern medicine it was very common to consume parts of the human body as a "Medicine". Like how people take rhinoceros horn as a aphrodisiac today.

    This is a very disturbing bit of history especially for Europeans and Americans because it means all our ancestors were cannibals. Also because not only were the condemned criminals used and graves robbed for the ingredients, but slaves would have been used as well.

    How much we don't know and historians are rather closed lipped about it. But in plantations that would have seen thousands of slaves, there is a lack of graves.

  6. Americans not a Race .
    Can't be racist.
    Look in too how WE 🛑 it after 10's of thousands of years.
    Your welcome.

  7. Blacks started slavery whites ended slavery for the western part of the world. Blacks continued slavery and oppression of others of all colors, many white slaves in Africa and America. nothing but racist bullies continue their bullying.

  8. Oh my god……. Pennywise is back

  9. I’m DISGUSTED, I can’t stand people standing on NATIVE AMERICAN LAND arguing how they deserve to be PAID for all the suffering they’ve endured, if there are ANY reparations are to be paid, NATIVE AMERICANS SHOULD BE FIRST IN LINE…

  10. Half truths are complete lies. Lies lie in the deceit.

  11. The #The1619 documentaries show me the vital importance that we need to be in the political realm. As adults we need to push to make sure Laws are lined up today so our children won't miss what we ourselves, who were not taught incorrectly regarding our authentic History. #ReLearn

  12. Whites were slaves for thousands of years. I'm so sick of this excuse for not excelling in America, immigrants come here and Excell. They have brown skin. Look at yourselves.

  13. Don’t pay Hulu and Disney to push CRT. Cancel Hulu and get HBO max like me

  14. slavery's lasting effects: enabling race baiting grifters an opportunity to earn some big money

  15. Not only she's a racist but unappreciative of this great country that has given her fame,.money and everything she has!!

  16. I didn't know it was possible to dye your hair with kool-aid 🤔

  17. Not a single thing this thing is saying is true.

  18. I believe in supporting in telling the whole story of slavery….including the fact that Africans were selling other Africans into slavery. The white man didn't steal African slaves; they were bought and/or traded. Not stolen, folks…

    Oh, I bet the 1619 project will leave out the fact that there were hundreds of black slavery owners in this country for many, many years.

  19. Hard to believe anyone still fall for her marxist BS anymore. Just goes to show you… there's a sucker born every minute.

  20. The 1619 Project is anti-American propaganda and misinformation #SayNoToCulturalMarxism

  21. There's a reason why Beyonce's not doing this s***
    It's called attractiveness
    And don't tell me the red clown look is attractive

  22. Nikole Hannah-Jones is a Marxist and following the teaching. Karl Marx: “The first battlefield is to rewrite history”

  23. Diversity is Humanity’s Greatest Strength.
    Complete Equality is America’s only possible future.
    Color, sex, gender, beliefs… none of that matters. We are all one species. Americans are all one people.

  24. The lasting effects of slavery:
    Despite being only 13% of the population blacks commit 60% of murder.
    Despite being only 13% of the population a white person is 34 times more likely to be assaulted by a black than a black is by a white.
    92% of blacks are on some form of government assistance.
    22,000 white women are raped by black men every year in America.

  25. I’m sorry but black peoples still…do not have full rights. The things you’re fighting for testify to that fact. The state wanted to prohibit children from being taught about our history…..that just happened right? Right.if you think I’m lying read the comments.

  26. Slavery happened, Americans were slaves and had slaves. America as a country was not founded on slavery. I’m glad the author finally admits that the ideal of the country is freedom and liberty for all. 3 years ago she said the opposite.

  27. As a black, I feel it is my duty to admit that we are better than whites. We built the country and it’s only fair that whites pay us reparations. I have 7 kids and I want them to have a better life than just what we can get off of government assistance

  28. Fear not the future, weep not for the past.

  29. Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️

  30. Are they gonna teach the true history of slavery or just the “white people are evil” nonsense?
