WASHINGTON - A dream for 100 years, the National Museum of African American History and Culture promises to become an instant favorite when it opens Sept. 24, its soaring spaces and magical views of the Mall a fitting setting for its tale of African-American history and achievement.
Museum officials offered a sneak peek last week at the 400,000-square-foot museum, the 19th of the Smithsonian Institution, that’s next to the Washington Monument. President Obama is expected to cut the ribbon on the dramatic space, which features layers of galleries focused on slavery, segregation and the civil rights movement as well as music, entertainment, sports and politics.
Dozens of hard-hatted workers crammed the fourth-floor cultural galleries, where circular exhibition cases are being filled with objects related to food, education and sports.

Yes, the constant reminder.
But Wait, there's More!
..The Oprah Winfrey Theater, a stunning 350-seat space with echoes of the building’s bronze exterior, appears to be complete.
Of course, LOL.
Feggedabowdit!
Will it display the tires that Winnie Mandela used for “necklacing”?
Nevermind, I thought it said “African History”.
Whites will be the tour guides, shackled and barefoot to bring about true social justice!
No thanks-—I’ve had enough of their history to last two lifetimes..
.
There is certainly a positive story to be told about black history in our country.
I hope this museum does not deliver propaganda.
Will never set foot in that place.
Who will be more prominent: Booker T. Washington or Marcus Garvey?
Whats the chances it will not be propaganda, honestly?
Managed and directed by those without a clue.
ROTFLMAO!
And all highly racist.
But that is a “good” racism, right?
I wonder if they will have an exhibit showing the thousands of blacks who were slave owners.
Or if they will have an exhibit showing the blacks selling their prisoners to the Muslim slave traders.
Blacks are responsible for their own slave trade. If it weren’t for them the Muslims wouldn’t have the prisoners to trade. No white guy or Muslime was going to go into the jungle to capture them.
If this was an honest museum, a large part of it would be the history of the Democratic Party in defending slavery and then, after the Civil War, reinstituting racial segregation in the form of Jim Crow laws, and terrorizing blacks into submission with the KKK. It should be called the “See how the Democrats have poisoned race relations over 200 years” Museum.
“I wonder if they will have an exhibit showing the thousands of blacks who were slave owners.”

Yeah,right.
Museums show what they want to show just like the MSM only tells us what they want us to hear.
I’m getting very cynical in my “golden” years.

Schwarz uber alles!
I'm downright pissed off !
