I'll be binge watching this remarkable video all day. I am an admirer of African originated percussion instruments and music. The blood of my Yoruba ancestors flows in my veins just like the air that I breathe flows through my lungs. I have been formally studying the slavery topic under the auspices of the City Univ. of NY (CUNY) since 1972. Professor Nikole Hannah Jones is one of the best teachers of this tragic historical period. KEEP IT COMING AND I'LL BE LISTENING AND REVIEWING !!!!!

As a African American male from Chicago I do not identify as black because I feel that it is disrespectful to us and our true lineage....the black and white philosophy is a European ideology....yes we have been trying to put a positive spin on the label to combat YT supremacy but that is not who we are .... Nicole you give me so much hope and I hope I can meet you one day.....WE ARE NOT BLACK...we are Africans that are raised in America

In spite of it, your skin is black that whites judge you by, when God judges us by our character. You have absorbed their shame portrayed on you, when all mankind is made in God' image. I'm black and proud, so I took sun baths to make me darker. I love being black because godly morally than the people that exercise evil on us.

I was given this book as a gift on my 72nd birthday (last Sat.), I am half way through. I feel as if I'm re-reading "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee", Dick Gregory's book "Ni**er", "Native roots" and "Indian Givers" by Jack Weatherford, and Devery S. Anderson's: "Emmett Till: The Murder that Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement", but with many more details and connections. I'm as white as can be and I know very few white people with whom I can have an intelligent conversation about the real history of the birth of this nation. Having been interested in these stories most of my life, reading this book is one of the most profound and heartbreaking experiences I've ever known. Living in this time where a lot of powerful people are invested in erasing the parts of our history that might make us feel uncomfortable, this project could not have come about at a more crucial time. Those who are viciously attempting to restrict and limit knowledge about the truth are those who I suspect are working to destroy democracy and re-establish an authoritarian oligarchy.

The irony of so many of us who will say race is a social construct, but none of them seem to want to not be seen as Black. There are people who talk about the origin of Whiteness, yet Afrocentric scholars say or use to say that the word Kemet, which is the word the Ancient Egyptians had for their country, translate to mean "the Land Of The Blacks". They use or used to use this translation that they came up with, as proof that the people who first created that civilization were Black. European scholars say it translates to mean "The Black Land", because of the Black fertile soil that was deposited along the banks of the Nile River annually when it floods. This is the only fertile soil, in this otherwise desert area. This makes sense to me. The translation "The Black Land", makes no sense, as other Black kingdoms/nations were near them. This translation would suggest that some non-Black people were in the area at the earliest of time of the civilization, which would support European scholars position that some non-Black people was responsible for its creation. Hannah-Jones was complimentary of the declaration of the 'Founding Fathers' that "all men are created equal...". She actually added and women. As if they believed that and that it was not necessary to actually add the word women, in the statement. Many women if not most would argue that they have equal rights with men today. The statement that all men are created equal does not say much. I'm sure Christians will argue that Jesus said as much and meant more. The same for many other religions. What is key is the proclamation of their right to life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or more specifically pursuit of wealth and power. They understood that only a relative few have ever obtained great power and their aim was to make sure they stayed in that small number or percentage, irrespective of anyone's rights. They were blatantly open about their contradictory actions to what they proclaimed. Much of the country still remain in denial or just pretend this was not the case. Many still use that same standard in dealing with basic questions of right and wrong and fairness. To not recognize people's rights and not be fair with them is universal among people. Some of that exist among all people, but few have likely not in recent human history acted like the founding fathers, and said they were bringing forth a higher standard of human interaction. Those who cherish the symbolism and idealism of the founding of the country and the men who were responsible for it, set them apart from all who came before them. Yet when it comes to their contractionary nature of being slave owners and affording themselves basic rights, that they denied others, those who cherish their actions and legacy, use a lower standard. They say slavery was practiced widely around the world, as if all slavery was the same, especially the form practiced in the U.S.. The vast majority of these countries that practiced slavery never boasted of living by a new and higher standard of human relations, that they were setting for humanity. They do something similar when complaints about undemocratic practices that occur on their side. They sometimes resort to saying "we are not a democracy - we are a republic". They never say that when many on their side talk of spreading democracy around the world, to justify a war or other military actions. This is the world and country we live in. I understand what Hannah-Jones has tried to do with the 1619 Project, but a new origin story for this country may not be possible. It seems to me, what is needed is that we likely have to start all over again - from scratch. The constitution is so obsolete, that amending it is not enough. The most problematic amendments are politically impossible to get changed. The wording of the 2nd Amendment is not even followed. The wording about a well regulated militia is clearly a qualifier, to having weapons, but this is blatantly ignored. As far as strict constructionism is concerned, to apply it to the 2nd Amendment would infer that every citizen would have the right to nuclear weapons. We know that was not their intent or would not have made that an unregulated right, if weapons were of that level of destruction, but then again, who knows what were in their minds, when they made these rules of governance? One would think there might have assume that future generations would use reason and therefore make fair and rational decisions, but they themselves didn't do that, by the existing standards at the time established by religious and philosophical understanding. Do we have any excuse now to not get it right - to do it right?

Nicole you're so inspirational I am a 36 year old African American male an I came across your work while I was incarcerated the black love webinar an it helped me dearly and tremendously... But I do not agree with the idea that we are black...black is not our turn lineage , the black and white philosophy stems frm European doctrination. Jus because we are darker in Hue than any other does not mean we are black...in the English language the word Black / Negro in a negative connotation ...Black death, black plaque,black sheep, black Monday,dark days We must do away with their labels...we weren't referred to by a color until the 15th century
