Nikole Hannah-Jones, the New York Times writer behind the controversial 1619 Project, has moved on from history to geography with the puzzling pronouncement that Europe is not a continent, and it is apparently racist to believe otherwise.
Jones, who tweets under the handle"Ida Bae Wells," was met with a torrent of Twitter mockery Sunday after making the claim while discussing the war in Ukraine. As with her prize-winning, but fact-challenged, historical position that the United States began not with the Revolutionary War, but with the much earlier importation of slaves to North America, Jones was met by online bemusement.
"Europe is a continent," replied a Twitter user named Parker."I take your point on the relevance, but Geography 101 would like a word." — Dr. High Functioning Sociopath PhD, EdD, STD, ADHD February 27, 2022 While Jones later said that people should care about what is happening in Ukraine, where Russia has invaded and seeks to topple the government, her point was apparently that Americans care more than they otherwise would because people in Ukraine are white.
