The Democratic Party and the media have shown the world how racist and divisive they really are. Michelle Obama’s statement, “I wake up every morning in a house built by slaves” is race baiting. It implies that the White House was exclusively built by black slaves, which is false. Black slaves did provide most of the hard manual labor but the carpenters and masons where mostly white local men or white men from Europe with the necessary craftsman skills.

Bill O’Reilly states this and the media calls him racist. Why, since it’s the truth? It would have been better if Michelle said the majority of the hard labor was done by slaves. Imagine if Laura Bush had said, “I wake up every morning in a house built by white craftsmen?"

The DNC’s divisive baiting continued with the mothers of those killed by police but no mothers or wife’s of assassinated policemen and the Muslim father who lost a son 12 years ago but no Catholic, Jewish, Asian, etc. fathers who lost a son or daughter. Why did this Muslim father allow himself to be used as a puppet by Hillary Cinton when he knows she supported the very Iraq war that killed his son?
