There is a tacky Africana-themed coffee table that the Obamas installed in the Oval Office. It is so cheap and '60s-looking, it might even have a formica top.
Similarly, Michelle hung an op-art style painting by an African-American artist in the Old Family Dining Room (a public space, not the private space in the family residence). It's hideous.
Not only that, but Michelle painted the walls of this public space a trendy shade of dreary gray, like you might see in some hipster loft in NYC. Melania should have the room re-painted in period-appropriate colors asap.
It's not that I'm opposed to the Obama's placing African or African-American art and furniture in the White House -- as long as it was well-chosen. But what they chose was pure schlock.
How about those horrific Gold Arabic draperies he loves to stand in front of while he lectures us on who “we” are and who “we” are not!!!!
AAAUUUGGGHHH
