Historian Phil Magness put's the fictional '1619 Vomit'.............errrrr "Project" writer her in her place.


Nikole Hannah-Jones goes off on tipping as a 'legacy of slavery,' deletes tweet​

Hannah-Jones clashed with historian Phil Magness over the history of tipping​




New York Times Magazine reporter and 1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones declared Monday in a since-deleted tweet that "tipping is a legacy of slavery" and "almost nowhere else" in the world utilizes the practice.

"Tipping is a legacy of slavery and if it's not optional then it shouldn't be a tip but simply included in the bill. Have you ever stopped to think why we tip, like why tipping is a practice in the US and almost nowhere else?" the left-wing writer tweeted in response to former MSNBC host Touré Neblett criticizing the practice of tipping.

"America is a slaveocracy, part 1619," Neblett declared in response to Hannah-Jones' claim, a reference to the 1619 Project.
