The "White" House's Big Beautiful Ballroom And The Big Black Bucks That Built The "People's" House
Worth 300 million Bucks.
WE Da People and WE Ain’t “US”
Kidnapped, brutalized and enslaved Alkebulanians were essential to the construction of the White House. In fact, they performed the most torturous and dangerous labor and received absolutely no compensation of any type. However, their psychopathic “owners” were paid by the “US.” These workers performed a wide variety of tasks during construction, from the most difficult labor to highly skilled craftsmanship, such as:
Quarrying stone: Enslaved Alkebulanians quarried and cut the rough sandstone from the government’s quarry at Aquia Creek in Virginia.
Cutting timber and making bricks: Enslaved Alkebulanians felled trees, worked as sawyers, and made bricks for the building’s interior.
Skilled trades: They also worked as carpenters, with some belonging to the architect of the White House, James Hoban.
Forced labor was central to the capital’s construction and the use of enslaved labor for the White House and other federal buildings was a deliberate decision. Initially, planners for the new capital in Washington, D.C. attempted to recruit workers from Europe, but the white boys wanted no part of the hard labor required in building the “white” house. Ergo, the “plan” and its “planners” turned to hiring enslaved and so-called “free” Alkebulanians, who provided the majority of the workforce. The federal government did not own these enslaved people but hired them from their owners.
How in the hell does anyone “hire” someone they are not paying? This sickening reality exposes a most profound paradox contrapuntal to Amerikan so-called ideals. The nation’s most symbolic structures were built by people who were denied the very freedom and equality those buildings were meant to represent; and they continue to be.
Excuse me as I take a moment to vomit.
The federal government compensated their enslavers, who “hired out” their human property on a contract basis. The enslaved people themselves received nothing. The government made payments directly to slave owners, who collected the wages for their workers’ labor. Slavers were paid a set rate, sometimes as much as 21 pounds per year per worker. The owners were responsible for providing clothing for the enslaved person. Not food, not shelter…clothing.
And so it is.
The commissioners in charge of the building project provided the enslaved workers with housing, food (typically cornmeal and pork or beef), and basic medical care. Unskilled laborers received a daily rate of about $0.31, while skilled craftsmen received more, sometimes up to $1.34 per day. However, as with all enslaved workers, the money went to their owners. This highlights the brutal economic reality of the institution of slavery, where the enslaved were treated as a commodity, not as human beings deserving of fair wages. A legacy that, by every single societal metric, continues to this very day.
It will continue, until it is stopped one way…or another.
In The Final Analysis
As the retarded president “Smitty” demolishes the White House to erect a 300 million dollar ballroom, “the people,” and the pseudo-democracy that it allegedly represents, this striking analogy is not lost upon my paltry soul. That demolishment represents many, many things. A man with no balls that ducked military service on multiple (five) occasions, that claims to love “our military," and is a self-styled “patriot” is destroying more than just a building. That notwithstanding, the foundation of both that building and the nation it represents will always be made of racist sand.
Matthew 7:24–27
According to Matthew, “Those who hear and practice Jesus’s words are like a wise man who built his house on rock, so when storms came, it stood firm. Those who hear but do not practice his words are like a foolish man who built his house on sand, and it fell with a great crash during the storms.”
Matthew 12:25:
“Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand”.
A Million Bucks
Black People in the United States were officially equated with animals; something no other ethnic group has experienced in the history of the United States. Black Women in the United States were referenced as a “Nigress” on the auction-block (think Tigress or Lioness). Black Men in the United States were referenced as a “Buck.” A Buck is a zoological term meaning the male of a horned animal.
I have often recounted the story of a former business associate that I had not seen in decades. At a recent event, I serendipitously encountered the fellow and he said to me “Goddammit, Kenyatta, you look like a million Bucks!” I guess so.
Nonetheless, I wonder how many contractors of Alkebulanian descent are getting a piece of that $300,000,000.
Likely the same their ancestors received.

You said it, my friend, which brought to mind a speech given by First Lady Michelle Obama ( I'll paraphrase) in which she said, she's living in the House that Slave's built... You've written another outstanding piece here, Rohn, and again I Thank you 🙏
I like your use of AI for the powerful message it sends. The two I used AI to make for my Substack pale in comparison. Your image is a profound and sobering reminder about who labored to build the White House.
I see this all ballroom crap as a sideshow to the sadistic malignant narcissism and dictatorial armed juggernaut playing on the Main Stage of the Trump Horrow Show. Still, I hope my illustrations are symbolic of his destruction of the hard fought democracy we will be celebrating on the 250th. I wrote "Trump needs a ginormous gilded ballroom fit for a king. Who are we mere mortals to deny him such a royal presidential perk?" https://halbrown.substack.com/p/trump-needs-a-ginormous-gilded-ballroom
