Steve, would you care to point out in either Madison's notes of the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers or any other original source where the Framers defined the meaning of "natural born citizen".

And just to be clear, I don't want quotations, supposition, extrapolation or just plain wishful thinking.

We need equal. Museums of achievement should be filled with blacks that have contributed as they would all others the same way.

Democrats are quite racist IMO. They used to hose black kids out of the doors of schools, so this mind set by Obama doesn't shock me.

He's been the most divisive President of my lifetime.
What party did those segregationist Democrats switch to when they ended segregation? Every white person in the Deep South being a Republican is a coincidence? I swear this country just has the worst uneducated idiots.

You know John Denver sang about "Rocky Mountain High" and obviously the thin air in Colorado is impairing your ability to be cognetive as to what blacks have contributed to American society. Or maybe that white hood is suffocating you.

What kind of black man would i be if i argued with you over something like that? C'mon dude....that would be justifying the existence of black people in America by presenting them to you as worthy citizens....as if YOU deserve an explanation.

I'd never do such a thing under any circumstances. If you don't know, then i'm not telling you.

Let's leave it at that.

I'll talk to you like my mom talked to me when I was 5 years old.

ME: Mommy, if there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, why can't there be a Children's Day too?

MOM: Honey, EVERY day is Children's Day.

So, OP, for a long time, EVERY thing has been about "Caucasians." For many years, the only contributions celebrated were those by whites. Certainly, this has gotten MUCH better but obviously it is believed that there is a "market" for this type of museum with these events still not incorporated into regular museums.

Still playing that race card...You would think that the President would be satisfied in the fact that he was elected only because of his skin color. Now he wants to push the envelope further and keep racism going for political reasons...I suggest that they drop the whole Afro thing....how long has America been going on about BLACK? - too long....racism will disappear if you stop talking about it at this point...why enshrine it? If Obama cared about blacks - or anyone esle for that matter - He never would have let the white elite install him as president.

Is that what you guys are implying?

There should be no "black" museum.

Obama to break ground for national black museum | M.WashingtonExaminer.com (http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/2092558/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=obama-to-break-ground-for-national-black-museum - broken link)

With eyes on his own personal legacy, President Obama revealed today that he will help in the groundbreaking of the nation's first African-American museum.

Look around Washington DC, it's a testament to white people.

You saying Black people didn't contribute to this country?
