Nikole Hannah-Jones slams Rev. Al Sharpton over his stance on brazen NYC thefts--New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones blasted the Rev. Al Sharpton on Wednesday for taking a get-tough stance on New York shoplifting — dismissing the crime wave as no big deal and suggesting that the longtime liberal activist was now backing the “carceral state.”
Hannah-Jones, who spearheaded the controversial “1619 Project,” made the comments after Sharpton called on Mayor Eric Adams to stop surging thefts in the wake of The Post’s exclusive story of a Trader Joe’s shoplifter who made off with 10 steaks.
“This drumbeat for continued mass incarceration is really horrific to watch,” Hannah-Jones tweeted. MORE AT https://nypost.com/2022/02/10/nickole-hannah-jones-slams-al-sharpton-over-his-stance-on-nyc-trader-joes-thefts/

Nikole’s irreverent dissing of Rev. Al
Of course not everybody in New York wants to get tough on crime. Among those who take a very lax attitude toward it is Nikole Hannah-Jones of The New York Times. The nonhistorian is most famous for declaring that the founding date of this country should from now on be said to be 1619 (to reflect the date when slaves were first brought to America).
Everything Hannah-Jones does has an ignorantly self-righteous tinge. Two summers ago, when this country was besieged by protests and riots, somebody said that they should be called “The 1619 riot.” Hannah-Jones said, “It would be an honor. Thank you.”
