Bill O'Reilly: Slaves who built White House were 'well-fed'

"Slaves that worked there were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802. However, the feds did not forbid subcontractors from using slave labor. So, Michelle Obama is essentially correct in citing slaves as builders of the White House, but there were others working as well. Got it all? There will be a quiz."


Conservatives are absolutely clueless

Why are Liberals against understanding history with the correct facts?

Nothing wrong with facts, but what was the point of bringing it up? Michelle Obama was not casting aspersions on anyone with her comments, in fact she was detailing how far we have come as a country. Why did Mr. O'Reilly feel that her statement needed an addendum, THAT particular addendum?

Did you see the threads popping up on it yesterday, again, after her speech Monday night? I think he was just trying to get his fellow goons on the same page with some facts for once.

Okay, so why add that particular clarification to the facts? He could have simply said, Mrs Obama was correct, the White House was built by slaves and she's right "We've come a long way, baby!"

I don't see why todays conservatives feel they need to defend slavery

no one is defending it, you lying asshole.

But you lefties are defending the current liberal programs the make slaves of urban and poor americans. Slaves to the federal government rather than slaves to the plantation owner----------------but slaves either way.

Today's, yesterday's...

America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. ~ Pat Buchanan

[buckeye45_73]

Why did she feel the need to bring up some slaves were used? Tens of thousands of homes in America today were built with the help of slaves. Hundreds of thousands around the world. Houses are being built by slaves today, why didn't she bring that up? Oh yeah, links to Islam.

I just told you why. She was pointing out how far we have come as a country. Jesus are you that thick?

Tell BLM and the Civil rights hucksters that.....

Why? They know that. They also know we have a lot further to go. Nothing wrong with recognizing both.

They don't act like it....so what is the end game?

Justice? What does this mean? Do you have a measurable goal?

The Democrats were once the party of slavery, of segregation of George Wallace. They are not that party anymore.
The Republicans were once the party of emancipation, of Lincoln of Eisenhower. They are not that party anymore.

Now, their nominee, Donald Trump, cannot be distinguished from George Wallace. Who said it, Wallace or Trump?

1. “I love black people, I love white people, I love yellow people.”
Wallace


2. “It’s a sad day in this country when you can’t talk about law and order unless they want to call you a racist.”
Wallace

3. “I’m owned by the people! I mean, I’m telling you, I’m no angel, but I’m gonna do right by them!”
Trump

4. “Somebody’s going to get killed before this primary is over, and I hope it’s not me.”
Wallace

5. “That’s a typical case of the press with misinterpretation ... they take a half a sentence. Then they take quarter of a sentence. They put it all together.”
Trump

6. “If you look at black and African-American youth, I mean to a point where they’ve just about never done more poorly; there’s no spirit.”
Trump

7. “If any demonstrator ever lies down in front of my car, it’ll be the last car he’ll ever lie down in front of.”
Wallace

8. “It seems that other parts of the world ought to be concerned about what we think of them instead of what they think of us. After all, we’re feeding most of them and whenever they start rejecting 25 cents of each dollar of foreign aid money that we send to them, then I’ll be concerned about their attitude toward us.”
Wallace

9. “I’m not a racist. I don’t have a racist bone in my body.”
Trump

10. “Protesters, they realize there are no consequences to protesting anymore. There used to be consequences. There are none anymore.”
Trump

11. “A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that.”
Trump

12. “We must not be misled by left-wing incompetent news media that, day after day, feed us a diet of fantasy telling us we are bigots, racists and hate-mongers.”
Wallace

What has Obama done for the 24 million in slavery today?

OH yeah, let illegals in to work below minimum wage for him.

You're just a master at the non sequiturs aren't you? So you have no explanation as to way O'Reilly had to bring up that the slaves were "well cared for". None of you do.

So they aren't better off? What is the goal?

Were other immigrants to this country "better off" for having come here?

They escaped famine, war and political oppression to move to a country with endless economic opportunities and constitutionally protected freedoms

Everyone except for slaves who not only were not paid for their labor but had future generations enslaved also. Were they "better off"?

Who in the USA today owns slaves? Other than the federal government.

Conservatives are absolutely clueless

Probably true about 'others' working there as well. They did need supervisors and whip-crackers too, you know. Evidently, even if it were true about well-fed..which is iffy, does Mr. O'Reilly think slavery is OK so long as you aren't starving or sleeping in the rain? But this is not a 'conservative' thought...this is just O'Reilly.. trying to be relevant to the fringe by slighting Michelle.

You know Bullwinkle, it never ceases to amaze me how much conservatives struggle with the English language

The point that Michelle Obama is making is that she wakes up in a building built by slaves and now her black daughters are living there and playing on the lawn

She is pointing out how far blacks have come in our society. To the point where a black family now lives in the White House

Conservatives reply with...Well, slaves were well fed and you know, OTHER people also worked on the White House

"The point that Michelle Obama is making is that she wakes up in a building built by slaves and now her black daughters are living there and playing on the lawn."

The current black slaves don't need to do anything but vote. That's not good enough. They want the right to assassinate police officers whenever they want.

Pat Buchanan certainly did. O'Reilly just did. Yeah, "nobody".

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Yet, O'Reilly is soft selling the institution of slavery
"well fed and had decent lodgings" is an attempt to justify the use of slave labor
It wasn't so bad

bullshit, no one is trying to justify slavery, pointing out historical facts that some slaves were well cared for is not an attempt to justify it.

your bullshit spin attempt is discredited..

You tell us....what is the purpose of stating that the slaves were "well fed" in this discussion?

to counter the constant dem/lib lie that all slaves were abused and mistreated. Stating that FACT does not justify or excuse slavery, it merely states a FACT.

The very fact that they were held in slavery at all is abuse and mistreatment. No amount of "facts" you present changes that.

I agree completely, No one has ever said that slavery was good, just, ethical, right, or anything except a terrible chapter in our history.

BUT, it is true that many slaves were treated humanely. That in no way justifies slavery except in the small minds of far left loons with an anti-American agenda.

If you agree then there's no need to equivocate with non sequitors.

The premise of the 1st lady's speech was that America is the greatest nation on earth. It does not need to be made great again.

Stating that black girls now reside in a house that slaves built is highlighting that greatness. A simple premise that you fools feel compelled deconstruct and obfuscate with nonsense.

[NYcarbineer]

Democrats are the party of the three "s"

slavery, segregation and socialism

they have always been racist
they just picked a different race now

good news, with their divisive politics
they have segregated us as a people

with Democrat's tax/spend policies
the whole US will be one big plantation and
all the American people will be slaves

Liberals freed the slaves and secured equal rights for black Americans. Conservatives fought them every step of the way.

Wrong, republicans did those things in spite of democrat filibustering and obstructionism.

Party identification and political philosophy are two different things. I'm not surprised you don't know that.

The bottom line is slavery was the norm in many parts of the country back then. You can't judge the actions of people who lived 200 years ago based on today's moral standards. It was what it was.

That said, O'Reilly's comments are just fucking stupid. Well fed or poorly fed isn't the issue. The issue is these people were forced into labor against their will and spent a lifetime in bondage and servitude.
