Was the White House really built by slaves? Would be interesting to know if that is true history, or something made up by liberals.
If it is true history, then, to be intellectually honest, Michelle shouldn’t choose to live there. It should shock her so much that she tells Barack, “I’m outta here. This is tainted ground, slaves did this work”.
For what it’s worth, the White House was gutted and completely remodeled during the Truman administration. No slave labor was used during that extensive remodeling.
“If it is true history, then, to be intellectually honest, Michelle shouldn’t choose to live there.”
Why? If I had a slave ancestor that labored to build the White House, I would be proud of my heritage and equally thankful for the sacrifices made.
Just as I am grateful for my direct descendent ancestors, twenty three, who fought in the American Revolution, so MICHELLE OBAMA can “live” in the WH, fly her fat, racist a$$ all over the world, and make a speech how she is not proud of America. It will be a day of celebration when this classless, racist, angry woman leaves the people’s house built by slaves.
Construction
Construction of the White House began with the laying of the cornerstone on October 13, 1792, although there was no formal ceremony.[11] The main residence, as well as foundations of the house, were built largely by enslaved and free African-American laborers, as well as employed Europeans.[12] Much of the other work on the house was performed by immigrants, many not yet with citizenship. The sandstone walls were erected by Scottish immigrants, employed by Hoban,[13] as were the high-relief rose and garland decorations above the north entrance and the "fish scale" pattern beneath the pediments of the window hoods. The initial construction took place over a period of eight years, at a reported cost of $232,371.83 (equal to $3,229,057 today). Although not yet completed, the White House was ready for occupancy on or circa November 1, 1800.[14]
Shortages, including material and labor, forced alterations to the earlier plan developed by French engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant for a "palace" that was five times larger than the house that was eventually built.[13] The finished structure contained only two main floors instead of the planned three, and a less costly brick served as a lining for the stone façades. When construction was finished, the porous sandstone walls were whitewashed with a mixture of lime, rice glue, casein, and lead, giving the house its familiar color and name.[13]
As it is a famed structure in America, several replicas of the White House have been constructed.

So, Michelle is telling half truths to stir up the black base again.
