Bill O'Reilly reminds you that Kunta Kinte never even thanked white people for the free boat ride.

O'Reilly: Slaves Who Built White House Were "Well-Fed And Had Decent Lodgings Provided By The Government"


BILL O'REILLY (HOST):
Slaves that worked there were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802. However, the feds did not forbid subcontractors from using slave labor. So, Michelle Obama is essentially correct in citing slaves as builders of the White House, but there were others working as well. Got it all? There will be a quiz.

Anyone know a nice chain-gang in the deep south? 100 degrees, 95% humidity? Knats and mosquitos?

Hell: Donald can't even stand a hot ballroom for an hour.
