WHAT?!
Ok, so I turn on CNN when I get home from class tonight and I watched a little bit about the Ill. Senator and some stuff about Barak Obama but what three me off guard was this:
What irritates me is not that they are featuring the white house and it’s builders but the fact that it took an African-American president in order for it to be a story. We knew years ago that the white house had been built by slaves, right? When I heard the headline I immediately lowered my head. Why? Because it seems like they are trying to please Black people. We’re already happy, we finally got a president that was worth the hours and hours out of our day that we spent standing in line at the voting polls and he just so happens to be Black. You don’t need to tell us that our people were FORCED to build the WHITE House for the lst 43 WHITE presidents. Does anybody else see anything wrong with this?

These people act like the White House is the only thing that was built by slaves. This daggone country was built on the backs of slaves. Many American universities, like my alma mater, are on land that used to be plantations. But now slaves get a shout out cuz we got a black President, lol. God bless America.
