Is that suppose to be a slave ship?
President Barack Obama, in his weekly address Saturday, talked about what he described as "the newest American icon on our National Mall - the National Museum of African American History and Culture."
Obama said the museum, which officially opens Saturday, "tells a story of America that hasn't always taken a front seat in our national narrative.
"As a people, we've rightfully passed on the tales of the giants who built this country," the president said. "But too often, willful or not, we've chosen to gloss over or ignore entirely the experience of millions upon millions of others.
"And so it is entirely fitting that we tell this story on our National Mall, the same place we tell the stories of Washington and Jefferson and our independence," Obama said.
On Friday, the president told a group of about 750 guests in the Grand Foyer of the White House, gathered to celebrate the museum's opening, that "The timing of this is fascinating."
The crowd, many of whom were African American, laughed and applauded at the understatement.
Negros holding their fists in the air, for not being treated properly at the 1968 Olympics as they were awarded medals.
Shackles that were from at least 150 years ago. Since slavery ended 150 years ago in this country, they must be older than 150 years. Wow, talk about old. Slavery must be over in Africa. Right? Right?
Is that the woman that would not sit at the back of the bus? Whitey. I think they are allowed to sit at the front now. I think.

Never forget everyone. Never forget. The blacks, who were traded here as slaves by the blacks in Africa were slaves.
Patronize patronize patronize.
This is an election year, right?
Are you going to visit the black victims of whitey museum in your lifetime? Can't wait. Yeeeeeah!!!!
I sure hope one day they get "equal treatment."
