Yes, the foundations and much of the main house was built by slave AND free African-Americans. Almost all of the rest was done by immigrants, who would be termed "illegal" in today's society. They had not yet started on a path to citizenship and did not have any legal status. As for all the rest of it...I could care less about "compassionate" this or "compassionate" that. And the color of their skin matters even less. I don't judge a person "by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Their actions and what comes out of their mouths matters to me. Take the idiot Representative from Georgia, Hank Johnson who wanted to know if Guam would tip over if we put too many marines on it. I could care less what color he is...that was just stupid, and someone like that is an embarrassment to have as a Representative of the US government. Just as embarrassing as Nancy Pelosi's statement when trying to shove Obamacare through that they had to "pass the bill to see what was in it." I mean, Good Lord. If these people are like this in real life with their personal affairs, they should own about half of the swampland in the Everglades! And you haven't felt it yet (or maybe your have), Obamacare is going to start costing us...you and me...a lot more money. Our taxes this year are going to go up by $2500 because of it. And if you are employed in a part-time job, you will see that your hours will be cut to less than 30. If they give you over 30 hours, they have to provide health insurance. The solution: Just cut your hours and not give you health care. And don't kid yourself that Obamacare was for the poor...they already have it in the form of Medicare/Medicaid. As far as the rest of the working public, nothing really will change, other than the fact you will have less money and less options. Democrats are already trying to stall the full implementation of Obamacare until after the 2014 elections, because they know that once it is fully implemented at the end of this year, the American public will experience it in full...and not like it. And I voted for Obama....twice! Color me stupid for doing it the second time. I believe racism can go both ways....having experienced it myself while living in Detroit for several years. If you are white, you are automatically called a "hillbilly", "white trash" and many other nasty things...even if you have a college degree and are driving a BMW (which I had both).

I think it's important to factually bring to light to the past, because, a form of slavery is with us today. The same liberal Democrat racists who for generations sought to keep men of color in bondage, are doing so clandestinely today. They hide the true nature of their public policy prescriptions, but they're every bit as dangerous to men of color as the Jim Crow laws Democrats enacted and sought to protect decades ago. Public education that doesn't educate, where reforms of the system are fought tooth and nail by liberal Democrat politicians. Ask yourself, with 50% of the kids in the inner city dropping out of high school, barely able to read and write for decades, why do liberal Democrats insist on preventing reform of the system? Where liberal Democrat political control is the strongest, the schools system is failing the greatest. Why would human beings that care about raising standards of living, and empowering individuals, build systems that keep people ignorant? The destruction of jobs, especially for inner city young men of color is creating drug dependency, crime, prostitution and despair. Everywhere you look in the cities liberal Democrats control, jobs for minorities teens is abysmal and getting worse. Yet, liberal Democrats do everything they can to prevent incentives for private job creation. Welfare programs that destroy the work ethic, food stamp programs and social programs designed to break up the black family. All of these liberal Democrat policy prescriptions, are causing men and woman of color to become more and more dependent on government handouts for subsistence, at the expense of liberty and freedom. A different form of slavery is today being promoted, extolled and encouraged by the same liberal Democrats who held blacks in bondage for generations, and who wore white sheets and burned crosses only a few decades ago.
