You know, a lot of you people are bitching and complaining about Obama doing this, but hey...............got news for you...................the legislation approving the building of this museum was passed in 1929 by president Herbert Hoover. The only problem is, they approved the building of it, but didn't approve money to get it built.
Fast forward to the 70's when there was another push to get it built, but it didn't happen until just recently.
Might wanna read up on the history of it sometime before you start bitching that Obama is trying to get rid of the white folks.

I am not bitching about it being built. What I am bitching about is this museum is not about black history. What it is about is the perpetual commitment to convince them that they are victims. Nearly every artifact is about that. Like every show in history channel during black history month.
That is what this is ALL ABOUT.
Well, considering that this country was founded in 1776, and slavery wasn't abolished until 1864, and then it took over 100 more years (1964/1965) until the Jim Crow laws were repealed and blacks got the full right to vote, yeah, I'd say that for the most part in this country, blacks have been given the short end of the stick.
It's not convincing them they are victims, it's showing how long this country has kept them down.
Oh, so you want to discuss the history of SLAVERY in Africa? Or just here? You are the ones that take a shit when we don't call them African. Want to discuss the history (complete history) of slavery and who owned who through out history?
Or....
Do you want just ******* remind us how 1.5% of this entire country during that time were slave owners. Never a republican mind you. Never.
So, you want to discuss just Jim Crow, or how every city in America (really around the world) segregate out according race, or religion, or whatever?
Like Little Italy, or Chinatown, or BLACK Harlem, or the Polish sections, Irish sections, Jewish sections etc etc etc. Every major city.
You want to discuss the Trans-Sahara slave trade which was going to on for close to 700 years before the Europeans got involved? Want to discuss how most slaves brought to America were in fact already slaves?
Want to discuss that? Are any of those facts discussed during black history month? In that new museum?
Let me know if you want to discuss the complete history of AFRICAN Americans. Since they all want to be referred to as AFRICAN, you would think they would want to know the HISTORY of the slave trade on the continent. Want to discuss it and how the muslims were involved?
No? Thought not.
