1619 Project Creator Claims ‘Alarm About a European’ Nation Being Invaded Is a ‘Dog Whistle’

Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of the 1619 Project, believes that the use of the words “European country” to describe 🇺🇦Ukraine is a “dog whistle” to stir up alarm about 🇷🇺Russia’s invasion.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, Hannah-Jones bizarrely claimed that concern about 🇷🇺Russia’s attack on 🇺🇦Ukraine is because of race.

She shared a thread that compiled “incidents of insidious racism in the media coverage of the Ukrainian crisis” and wrote, “Every journalist covering 🇺🇦Ukraine should really, really look internally. This is why I say we should stop pretending we have objectivity and instead acknowledge our biases so that we can report against them. Many of us see the racialized analysis and language.”

Hannah-Jones also went on to declare that “shock” about the invasion of a “European country” is “ahistorical” and an attempt to “justify the lack of sympathy for other invasions, other occupations and other refugee crisis involving peoples not considered white.”

But she didn’t stop there.
