She goes off all kinds of angry because she/this didn't get it's way. All rooted in racism if you have followed Joy and her stance on this. Joy is a racist turd.

And after watching time and time and time again - the democrats rewriting history over and over. Anyone even remotely connected to racism needed to be canceled recently. If you lived during the same era as slavery you needed to be canceled. :rolleyes:

Racist Joy Defends Racist 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones as Victim of....‘Cancel Culture?’

MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid joined the chorus of defenders on Thursday of the racist, America-hating 1619 Project and creator Nikole Hannah-Jones in light of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's decision to deny her immediate tenure as part of a professorship.

Reid blasted the move as an “authoritarian” and “chill[ing]” act of “war” and “cancel culture” against a (factually-challenged) series of essays that teach “a clear-eyed, factual understanding of our history.”

Instead of realizing this was a case of liberals getting a taste of their own medicine, Reid and frequent MSNBC guest Jelani Cobb melted down at this as proof of a conservative tilt in academia that resulted in “unjustified outrage” against a “phenomenal” work of “journalism” and “scholarship” (which would be breaking news to our friends at Campus Reform, Lone Conservative, and YAF).

Of course, the 1619 Project has faced years of bipartisan backlash from academics ranging from socialists to historian Gordon Wood to The Federalist to a renowned history professor who’s spoken at the Heritage Foundation. Most notably, her thesis that America was founded on the basis of and preserving slavery has been widely debunked.

And in March 2020, The Times had to post an extensive correction after concerns from a professor working to fact-check Hannah-Jones were ignored. As The Federalist reported, it was then stealth-edited six months later.

Even though it’s been turned used to form history curriculums, Hannah-Jones has said her project wasn’t history but rather “journalism” and conducted herself with juvenile ethics when challenged.

Reid was indignant, first teasing early in the show that there was a “conservative effort to literally whitewash American history, and how it cost one of the nation's most celebrated journalists a tenured university position.”

That ignored the fact that it’s Hannah-Jones who’s decided to do the whitewashing, but we digress. She’s even falsely pegged 1619 as when slavery started in the New World, but we’ll move on.

In a second tease, Reid tied opposition to the 1619 Project to the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, which was an ugly chapter in American history that all sides have come to acknowledge.

Reid labeled these critics her “Absolute Worst,” claiming there’s a “Republican obsession with falsifying our nation's history” that includes opposing critical race theory. She then suggested before a mash-up of elected Republicans that the right lacks brain cells to properly understand history, “Antifa, or democracy.”
