President Barack Obama on Friday celebrated the pending opening of the Smithsonian's new African-American museum and said the institution, decades in the making, is a powerful place because it tells "the story of all of us," not just the famous.
Obama also said he hoped the museum would help people bridge divides that were re-exposed by the latest fatal, police-involved shootings of black men. Obama said the museum opening this weekend, following the shootings of black men in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Charlotte, North Carolina, would allow Americans to "put our current circumstances in a historical context."

Lets hear it for Oprah, "the woman who owns the universe."
Then it should be called the “Museum of Us All”.
Us?? He can trace roots back to slavery??
Didn’t Hitler have in his grand Thousand Year Reich Plan to have some kind of Genetic Aryan Purity Propaganda Museum or something?
Not him. Guess he forgot that his mother was white and his father was not American.
It’s not for all of us. My folk were doing God knows what in Naples and Sicily until the early 1900s.
The slave owners are all dead, unless there’s one that’s 170 years old.
The slaves are all dead.
So who’s “all of us”?
His statement is part of the problem, dating back to the Marxist Frankfurt School. The history museum is not existentially US, you, me, or anyone living. It’s hubris to think the museum is US - it is history - remembering the dead.
LMAO.
One FUGLY building!
The A-A museum should feature many famous racist democrats. Woodrow Wilson, Bull Conner, Hugo Black, George Wallace, Robert Byrd to name a few.
Don’t fail not to miss it if you can.......
Sorry, THATS just not who I am.
If America’s not supposed to be racist, why does it have a museum focusing on one race?
Building the museum is fine. However, filling it with leftist BS history is not. Does it prominently feature the truth of the DIMocRATs being the party of slavery, the KKK and so forth. If not, it is a crappy museum that distorts history...and should be leveled.
Obama keeps on -pathologically, desperately — using “us” and “our” ..... Trying to pretend he’s an American. ( all while hiding his real identity, birth certificate, citizenship, immigration records, real social security number, school admissions records, selective service registration records if any, and sources of income ). Deep inside, he appears to wish he belonged to the society he’s so assiduously destroying ?? Or at least he craves its ( our) approval even while he subverts it...

All the way back to his Chicago gay bath-house days where the big boys made him do nasty things.
