UNC-Chapel Hill students and faculty protested the board of trustee’s decision to not approve tenure for New York Times reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones. Protesters believe Hannah-Jones is being denied tenure due to her work on the ‘1619 Project’ which examined slavery in America.

#UNCChapelHill #1619Project #Slavery
Thank goodness more people are standing up to the lies of the 1619 project. Lies do not become truth just because people believe them.
So not being able to learn fake history is oppressive now too huh?
She's not a journalist. She's a PROPAGANDIST.
Good job UNC ðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘Â
It is unusual for a school to admit, one of its own alumni isn't qualified
lol blaks
boycott their sports , boycott anything to do with them
boycott these schools do not send your children to them
She doesn't deserve it.
The Board NEVER said why. Assuming is not news reporting. THAT is the problem in media today.
People who deny the truth of the 1619 project are the same as those who deny the Holocaust. The information contained in that report is not new. Meticulous records of the blatant slaughter of the millions of people who already occupied these lands by the so-called colonizers from Europe & Spain was recorded by the very people involved. They didn't hide or slant what happened. They had the blessings of their governments to do whatever it took to acquire land and resources. This genocide took place years before people were dragged here from all over the globe and forced into slavery. There is so much that is NOT taught about actual History. Its not about white history..Indian history..black history..asian history..etc. Its just History. And a lot of that History is ugly and painful. And since too many like to dilute or gloss over it..we don't learn and continue to wallow in a disgustingly unequal society. This country is still mired in hate..violence and oppression. People deny the impact of racism..sexism..homophobia while at the same time…practicing it and teaching it to new generations. Humans' capacity for hatred..our love for all things evil..our joy in the sufferings of others will never abate.
She doesn't deserve it, go back to Africa and work with their history.
She's a racist conspiracy theorist. Why would she be given tenure, and why are people calling her a "journalist"?
The faculty who joined the protest, should have their own tenure reviewed. We don't want to promote lies.
This video is trash! I live in Chapel Hill, would you like me to help you out NBC? You're not going to be pleased bc it is a whole lot of nothing!
Nicole Hannah Jones is a liar and she’s not even a real journalist. She literally made up and lied about certain parts of history. Why should she even stay as a professor?
A 56 second video upload with horrible audio. Yeah real smart upload NBC.
The answer to 1984 is 1776..
The like 👠to dislike 👎 ratio is very accurate ðŸ˜â€
Who immediately went straight to the comment section and not disappointed 😆?
Divide and conquer that’s the motto of this illegitimate administration ðŸ˜â€
While the idea behind the 1619 project was good on the surface, the historiography behind it was, to put it charitably, trash (particularly the claim that the American Revolution was over slavery; given how explicitly the Confederacy spelled it out 80 years later, I seriously doubt the Founders would've been shy about it, let alone outright criticized it in an early draft of the Declaration of Independence (which is weird because the author was a slaver, but… y'know…whatever I guess))
Unfortunately it was so poorly-executed that it's effectively poisoned any future projects of the same variety.
what a professional piece of journalism ðŸ˜Â
The 1619 Project is pure racism advocated by radical black nationalists. It has no place in schools the same as white nationalism has no place there either.
Look an old white guy deciding slavery doesn’t count as American history. Go figure.
Lol.
These are the same protestors that protested against suicide awareness.
Next week join us as we celebrate blacks discovering america…blacks were the first sailors too..blacks invented everything…lol..the history of the future..lol..lol..lol
The TRUTH of AMERICA is coming just a matter of time. The Cats out the bag. The 1619 project.FOR REAL.Just like the Tulsa burning.Get ready.
Stay in your state..dont bring your ignorant passive self to arizona..stay there lame
Such a thing has no place in any classroom. These radical fascist types are a direct parallel to the vile indoctrination that took place in Germany in the 1930’s. History repeating itself among the gullible and intellectually vacant.
It’s almost as if teaching a history that never happened can get you fired.
They know not what they do.
You mean being black is not an academic professorial qualification? How disappointing.
Maybe because 100% of the 1619 project is completely FALSE?
they can barely write 1 sentence. better yet make it look like an adult wrote it.
Boo-hoo! 😂😂😂
I mean she made false statements and later even admitted to making false statements but I don't know if that qualifies for not receiving tenure.

Despite being apart of the most advanced technological society up to date in Human history we are stuck with the dumbest most easily fooled generation that is Z
Black people….smdh
