It is all part of history...the good and the badI am not bitching about it being built. What I am bitching about is this museum is not about black history. What it is about is the perpetual commitment to convince them that they are victims. Nearly every artifact is about that. Like every show in history channel during black history month.You know, a lot of you people are bitching and complaining about Obama doing this, but hey...............got news for you...................the legislation approving the building of this museum was passed in 1929 by president Herbert Hoover. The only problem is, they approved the building of it, but didn't approve money to get it built.
Fast forward to the 70's when there was another push to get it built, but it didn't happen until just recently.
Might wanna read up on the history of it sometime before you start bitching that Obama is trying to get rid of the white folks.

That is what this is ALL ABOUT.
Well, considering that this country was founded in 1776, and slavery wasn't abolished until 1864, and then it took over 100 more years (1964/1965) until the Jim Crow laws were repealed and blacks got the full right to vote, yeah, I'd say that for the most part in this country, blacks have been given the short end of the stick.
It's not convincing them they are victims, it's showing how long this country has kept them down.
There are three museums on the National Mall dedicated to specific ethnic groups........African American Museum, Native Anerican Museum and Holocaust Museum. Guess what they have in common?
Never again
Interesting, whenever is something exclusively democrats doing bad - it's part of the history, "we" did it as country. Nope, democrats did it, and are still doing it.
