Slaves helped build White House, U.S. Capitol - CNN.comDo you want to document that, or are you just a run-of-the-mill hack?

Why is it an "either/or" thing?

Back in the early 1950s I dated a girl who worked as an usher(ette) in the Brooklyn Fox Theater for minimum wage, which was .55 an hour. The upside was when she relieved the ticket puncher on his break we all walked in for free.I posted the GS Scale. I'm pretty sure that a chamber maid at the white house doesn't make more than a clerk who has a college degree. What don't I understand? Have YOU ever been a slave? Well I have worked for $1.25/hour back in the 60s. And I can tell you that minimum wage is not a living wage.
In the sixties, $1.25/hour was living high on the hog. You're really a piece of work. Thanks for championing slavery.
When I went to work as a secretary in the 60s with a high school diploma it was minimum wage.
Here is minimum wage for 1955 - 2010.
Federal Minimum Wage Rates, 1955?2012 | Infoplease.com
If you think minimum wage is 'high on the hog' you have never tried to live on it.
My bad, $1.25 wasn't a nickel higher. It was minimum wage in 1966.
Michelle is a hypocrite.
Thanks for the tip.Slavery was a time of antibellum charm, singing, dancing and merriment
Too bad the Yankees had to come and ruin it
Well at least the yankees waited long enough for the slaves to show us how to cook and eat. The European diet was very bland. Here in the south, we have the best food in the country, thanks to the Africans who pepped up our diet in some incredibly creative ways. And blacks being good cooks is NOT a stereotype. They ARE good cooks. I have always really enjoyed the pot lucks at work, their food is definitely worth showing up for. And they keep up with the times. They know that the little packet of sweet and low in the turnip greens can make all the difference in the world.
and the Decatur House.
Michelle Obama visits slave quarters
We're long past that time. It's over. Whitey's paid his due. Bringing up the fact that slaves served presidents is just rubbing the nation's nose it what "some people" (fill that in yourselves) consider shameful. Just look at her. It makes my skin crawl to see such a person being first lady.
She should be thankful that blacks were allowed to be slaves.
Slavery is the best thing that ever happened to the Africans...otherwise they would still be Africans, living in huts like obabbles brother...
I couldn't get passed the first page. These white wingers are so disgusting. Such nasty and dirty people. I'm glad they are concentrated in one party.

Slavery was and is and ever will be a shame and a sin. Those who defend are sinners before a just god.
Do you want to document that, or are you just a run-of-the-mill hack?"Funny" that you mention the White House, considering it was Slaves that built itNot sure what you don't understand. Whie House workers aren't setting the world on fire salary wise. Subsistence level living is all they are making. They are really nothing more than slaves even now. Of course, like the one who wrote Back Stairs at the White House some make come out on top occaionally, but a maid is a maid is a maid. Don't even try to gell me that Michelle does her own cleaning. Michelle is a hypocrite.
