Nikole Hannah-Jones Gloats After 1619 Project Documentary Wins an Emmy Award
“Live footage of me twirling on the haters.”
What is there to gloat about here? She got an award from the only crowd that still thinks she has any credibility. Big Deal.

Nikole Hannah-Jones taunts ‘haters’ after 1619 Project wins Emmy Award
Nikole Hannah-Jones shouted out her “haters” after “The 1619 Project” won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.
On Sunday, executive producers Jones, along with Oprah Winfrey, Roger Ross Williams, Shoshanna Guy and Kathleen Lingo were all among those who were handed a trophy for their work on the 2023 Hulu series.
The series is based on Jones’ 2019 long-form journalism endeavor for The New York Times, which “aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center” of the founding of the United States.”
After the project was published, five historians penned a letter to The New York Times demanding corrections for the errors they found. The most significant error was its claim that the American Revolution was fought in order to preserve slavery when most historians say it was a disrupter of slavery.
Following the win, Deadline posted the headline, “Polarizing ‘The 1619 Project,’ Attacked By Conservatives, Earns Emmy Win For Oprah, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Roger Ross Williams & More'”
“I am perplexed that @DEADLINE felt the need to describe the #1619Project this way. But guess what — WE WON THE EMMY so write what you want. We do our work on behalf of the ancestors!” Hannah-Jones wrote in response to the headline.
She followed up with a video of her holding her trophy while spinning and circles before giving the peace sign, alongside the caption, “Live footage of me twirling on the haters.”

Comments
I didn’t know a documentary could be fictional.
They are called “mockumentaries” in the biz. People patting each other on the backs that nobody cares about except them. Who won the Golden Globes this week? That’s right, no one has any idea
Hannah: “Gone With The Wind” refutes your entire thesis decisively, and won TEN Oscars, so you lose.
Can’t wait to see Hannah star in “That 1600s Show!”
Apparently “Dreams from my Father” by Barack Obama is fictional even though you will find it in the Biography section of your local library.
There seems to be a strain in current American journalism and political circles to project their vision or idea as reality without going to the lengths of actually documentation. The truth is what you make it to be not some objective or arguably overwhelmingly probable interpretation of all of the relevant facts. Another example is “Caste” by Isabel Wilkerson. This is very well written piece of half truths (on practically every page no less) all in an effort to lead the reader toward a conclusion that simply does not make objective sense.
What’s with the hair color? Does that wig come off after halloween?
I’m pretty sure what’s underneath is way uglier. Take that how you will.
How does that “honor” her ancestors?
She’s sitting it for Bozo.
They act like this is some sort of validation of their thesis.
Awards like these may have once meant something objective, but they haven’t for a long time. Leftists patting other leftists on the back for being leftist.
yea.
Put it in the “unearned awards” trophy case right beside Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize and Will Thomas’ swimming medals.
This makes sense. As we all know, the Emmy’s are to fiction what the Pulitzer Prize is to unbiased, factual reporting.
An Emmy these days has as much value as a Little League participation trophy. Scratch that: the Little League participation trophy has MORE value.
“Live footage of me twirling on the haters.”
So those of us who found errors of fact in 1619 are haters?
Thank heavens… I thought it said “twerking.”
Every day of her life, this poor woman has to live with the fact that she is who she is.
It must be awful.
Not sure why she thinks this is such an accomplishment, it’s more like a participation trophy. Just another example of an echo chamber awarding itself for existing and being just so fabulous. I mean former VP Al Gore won an Oscar for his power point slide show. Yasser Arafat got a Nobel Peace Prize for pretending he wanted peace. It’s not like there are standards for these things, just show up, be of a certain identity and have the “correct agenda.” I can give myself an award for the best comment on a legal blog site and then take a victory lap, I guess.
Well, perhaps she values the Emmy so much because she sees herself as a tv entertainer. Or a tv personality.
If she saw herself as an academic or as an intellectual or as a truth-spreader, then she’d value the recognition of respected academics, and respected intellectuals, etc.
She’s being used by very wealthy people who aim to promote discord in the West, to destroy it from within.
Bless her heart – She’ll be discarded when no longer useful to them.
