Michelle ignores the facts about White House workforce.

[theHawk]

Jesus, afro americans could not ******* cut a square edge until ****** showed them how and even then not many grasped the concept. Sorry afro-centric fantasy land retards.

We built the pyramids which you whites still havent figured out how to do yet and we taught you math when you were still eating each other in europe.

Right, that's why negroes went on to rule the world, right?

Today blacks all speak the languages of whites, dress like them, and pretend to be white in every way. If African heritage and culture was so great, why not go back to Africa and live it?

The legend of slaves building Capitol is correct


But the task force did find plenty of evidence of slave involvement in the Capitol's construction. Perhaps the most compelling evidence were records of payments from the commissioners for the District of Columbia — the three men appointed by George Washington to oversee the construction of the Capitol and the rest of the city of Washington — to slave owners for the rental of slaves to work on the Capitol. The records reflect 385 payments between 1795 and 1801 for "Negro hire," a euphemism for the yearly rental of slaves.

Slave crews also toiled at the marble and sandstone quarries that provided the stone to face the structure — lonely, grueling work with bleak living conditions in rural Virginia and elsewhere. "Keep the yearly hirelings at work from sunrise to sunset — particularly the Negroes," the commissioners wrote to quarry operator William O'Neale in 1794.

Pelosi might have specified that slaves were only part of the work force, but they were involved with almost every aspect of construction for at least the first several years. We find her statement True.


The legend of slaves building Capitol is correct

Poor racist whites and stupid conservatives...wrong yet again....

Slaves participated in the building of the White House.
Problem is, Michelle has made the claim before that "she wakes up in a house every day that was built by slaves".

If you leave it at that, you come away believing they were the only ones who built it. That of course is not correct.
The architect was white, and even the later architect was white, and the skilled white workers had to teach the slaves how to ******* do their job.

Hopefully next time the First Lady will be accurate and say something like this:

"I wake up in a house every day, where slaves participated in the construction of".

Hopefully she'll get onboard real quick, because she ain't gonna be waking up in the house for much longer !!

If you are a Liberal you can't let a little thing like Truth get in the way of an awesome Racially charged emotional speech.Here is a key paragraph from
WhiteHouseHistory.org:

"Stonemason Collen Williamson trained enslaved people on the spot at the government's quarry at Aquia, Virginia. Enslaved people quarried and cut the rough stone that was later dressed and laid by Scottish masons to erect the walls of the President's House. The slaves joined a work force that included local white laborers and artisans from Maryland and Virginia, as well as immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, and other European nations."

Thanks for reminding everyone of Michelle Obama's powerful and historically accurate point.

"I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves," she said. "And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent black young women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States. So don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great, that somehow we need to make it great again, because this right now is the greatest country on earth."

Shame isn't it- that Trump doesn't think the United States is a great country?

Because of course 'slaves' had no skills.....

Michelle's statement was factually correct.

More important- her point was a powerful reminder both of how much progress the United States has made- and one example of why the United States is great.

Yes thats exactly why Black people ruled the world. Without us you woulnt even be able to type right now.

Speaking many languages is the sign of genius. Whites dress like us not the other way around. We make a style and whites copy it. We dont have to go back to Africa to practice and observe our culture and heritage. We can do that anywhere we wish because we are boss. If our influence bothers you move back to the caves of europe and become neaderthals again. I wont miss you.

Its amazing how people give away how simple minded they are. Only a retard would come away believing only Blacks built the WH. The point was that they did build the white house despite you being wrapped up in your emotions. If you dont like what she said then too bad. I dare you to anything about it other than talk on the internet.

How do you draw the conclusion that waking up in a house built by slaves means waking up in a house built ONLY by slaves?

Were they well fed?

 

[bodecea]

Your point being?

Are you claiming slaves weren't involved when clearly they were?

As slaves?

Against their will?

Without pay?

They were paid. They were on an actual payroll, as actual paid workers. The White House website actually has an image of someone's payroll, with 'slave' names listed.

Michelle Obama Claims the White House Was ‘Built by Slaves’... But...

Does that make it better being a slave? Paid some money AND being well fed? Next we'll be hearing they should be grateful they were taken to this country from Africa.

 

[2aguy]

Slavery existed here before Europeans arrived....and the Europeans and Africans sent black slaves here ........then democrats in the United States kept the slaves long after they were of any value to their practices.........and killed to keep them........then killed to keep them from being actual citizens.......

The democrats held onto their black slaves........blame them....not people who were raised in a world where slavery was the norm...since slavery was the common practice all around the world...and still exists in Africa.....

What's a shame is how Leftists think American greatness lies in its government and to make America greater, we must increase government.
