“turned to African-American — enslaved and free — to provide the bulk of labor that built the White House, the United States Capitol, and other early government buildings.”

Plus it's a metaphor for America, as a whole.

Would there be a White House without them?

"The association said slaves had worked at the government’s quarry in Aquia, Va., to cut the stone for the walls of the White House. The construction team included white laborers from Maryland and Virginia and immigrants from Ireland, Scotland and other parts of Europe, the association said."

They were part of the construction team. So why do you lie, by saying that slaves built the White House? You should have said they HELPED build the White House.

Why is Michelle talking about slavery? Is she also a slave?

How about you... do you live in a house built by slaves? Who built your house? Or don't you give a damn?

Good God, What a laughable, pathetic question...

No bias in the news media. I was just reading CBS news, and though the page was filled with hard-hitting Trump stories, they were also doing some serious investigative work on Obama...

Wonder why that is?

Don't know. But I agree that his almond consumption is of the utmost concern. Along with how he manages to stay so trim and handsome.

That was more of a rhetorical question.

In my opinion, it's because they finally know who the next Commander-in-chief will be and in order to get on his good side to get some questions in the White House press room addressed by their reporters, they will need to show him that they're not totally against him. Otherwise, he may continue to use unconventional methods of answering questions.

How did they 'build' up the wealth to pay the construction team? Cotton? Plantations? Slavery?

There are 690 government positions which need to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. Silly little things, like positions in the NSA. Guess how many he's appointed so far? 28. (Today's news might have #29.). Normally at least 100 are in place by this time. He may want to reconsider his plans to take the weekend off and jump right into his new job so he can catch up.

Also not listening to security briefings, seems like Donald Trump cannot wait for the US to be attacked again like 9-11. He is likely weakening ties with existing security because after 1 attack he can initiate a ban on Muslims entering the country, round up existing Muslims (there are already 'camps' set up, how convenient(?), considering it is in the manifesto of the so called 'Illuminati' to rid the world of religion and mainly Islam), just like what happened to the Japanese Americans during WW2 (except most likely much worse) being rounded up (the framework is in place). "A total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States". He will let it happen like Pearl Harbour (and who knows about 9 11?).

Russia will follow suit and declare all out war on Islam.

"blacks were enslaved a century longer than they have been free"

"slavery in this country didn't officially end until Dec. 6, 1865"

White House "Construction took place between 1792 and 1800"

"Cotton is King", sugar, tobacco, slavery.

I speak up for every animal/living being on the planet, so yes I am a slave

The guy is a wannabe dictator. He loves Putin and has "great respect for him" (a guy that murders his opponents and doesn't allow freedom of speech). Don't "underestimate" him. Listen to the words he himself spoke regarding Muslims and e.g. the retweets of white supremacists.

Look he wasn't my pick but I'll support him until I see wrong doing if any.

You're talking crazy...

I'm actually with you on that (believe it or not). Just a warning in advance so people don't get caught out by surprise. Obviously it's not fact yet.

The trouble is that not enough people stand up once the bad things actually happen!

So the pumpkin head is not even sworn in and has been burning bridges with his own administration, dismissing his own intelligence services (prefers conspiracy theories instead), makes aggressive statements toward the non-aligned press (that would not be tolerated in a mature democracy). Said he trusts Merkel and Putin equally (!). Does not understand basic diplomacy.
Will do nothing to improve the human rights situation. Instead he will step up mass surveillance and the police-military complex.
That sounds promising.
People are in for a rude awakening, even staunch supporters of Trump and Putin just aren't prepared for a post-freedom, post-truth world. This is the world that awaits you, and Trump is the ticket.

Or other extreme action to grab absolute power. Read history - there's always a crisis before freedoms disappear.

I think in this case Islam is an excuse and a rallying cry, not the main objective - this is a kleptocracy in the making, as is the country run by his bff.

People who voted for him because they think he cares about the little guy are in for a rude awakening.

At least the concert was a huge success. Oh wait... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...oked-smaller-than-barack-obamas-a7536531.html
