...but then again, what would you expect from a 1st Lady who proclaimed she was never proud of the United States until her husband won the Presidency?!
"When not taking a shot at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, first lady Michelle Obama used her commencement speech Friday at City College of New York to tell graduates that “every single day … I wake up in a house that was built by slaves."
Much like her husband's view of history, Michelle's view of history is only partially and selectively correct.
There was never any intent to use slave labor to build the WH:
"When construction of the White House began in 1792, and the original plan to import European laborers failed, the workforce building the project was diverse. “The slaves joined a work force that included local white laborers and artisans from Maryland and Virginia, as well as immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, and other European nations,” according to the White House Historical Association."
...but don't let the facts get in the way of a good race-baiting, racially divisive comment, Michelle.
