Bill O'Reilly: Slaves who built White House were 'well-fed'
"Slaves that worked there were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802. However, the feds did not forbid subcontractors from using slave labor. So, Michelle Obama is essentially correct in citing slaves as builders of the White House, but there were others working as well. Got it all? There will be a quiz."
Conservatives are absolutely clueless
Probably true about 'others' working there as well. They did need supervisors and whip-crackers too, you know. Evidently, even if it were true about well-fed..which is iffy, does Mr. O'Reilly think slavery is OK so long as you aren't starving or sleeping in the rain? But this is not a 'conservative' thought...this is just O'Reilly.. trying to be relevant to the fringe by slighting Michelle.
You know Bullwinkle, it never ceases to amaze me how much conservatives struggle with the English language
The point that Michelle Obama is making is that she wakes up in a building built by slaves and now her black daughters are living there and playing on the lawn
She is pointing out how far blacks have come in our society. To the point where a black family now lives in the White House
Conservatives reply with...Well, slaves were well fed and you know, OTHER people also worked on the White House
