Ten thousand years from now people are still going to be hearing about those slaves and every single black was related to the slaves...every one of them. Michelle Obama was related to every single slave that ever lived. Can you tell I'm sick of hearing about the slaves? I'm also sick of the Blacks having anything banned that showed the Blacks being treated well....like, Song of the South. I'm so happy the girls who live with the Obama's got to play on the white house lawn. It's got to be a better lawn than yours or ours, it was planted by slaves.

Reasons why I don't listen to the Democrats because all of them lie, and don't exactly tell the truth of the whole stories. Here is one of Michelle's claims.
Michelle Obama Claims the White House Was ‘Built by Slaves’… But There’s One HUGE Problem

Michelle Obama gave the commencement address to graduates of City College in New York. While she was trying to inspire the students, Obama could not refrain from injecting race into it, as shealways seems to do:
“It’s the story that I witness every single day, when I wake up in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my daughters – two beautiful, black young women – head off to school, waving goodbye to their father, the President of the United States…
While I think it’s fair to say that our Founding Fathers never could have imagined this day… you are the fruits of their labor. Their legacy is very much your legacy.”
There’s just one big problem with her statement, which has also been echoed by her husband: it’snot entirely true. But don’t expect the media to tell you why.
First, the White House was not built solely — or even primarily — by slaves.
Most of the labor force consisted of local White laborers and artisans (from Maryland and Virginia) and a number of immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, and other European nations.
As the project neared completion — the lime-based whitewashing that gives the building its iconic appearance…slaves were indeed added to the mix.
But once again, facts get in the way of the Obama’s preachy race-baiting.
That’s because the U.S. government actually paid the slaves who worked on the White House.
In the modern times like today, we call them employees. They were paid labors and therefore not slaves. If we call the blacks who worked at the WH slaves, how do we call the White people who worked there? They must be also called slaves. No, neither the blacks and white people who worked building the WH must be called slaves. they are employees or hired workers in our modern terms today.
