"Obama Presidential Center subcontractors claim they’re owed millions and facing financial ruin ahead of grand opening"--New York Post. It's not just that the contractors haven't been paid, but many are afraid to even publicly talk about it:
Several also described what they viewed as a wall of silence surrounding the project, with some declining to speak publicly or requesting anonymity because of confidentiality agreements or fears of professional retaliation.
And of course the complete lack of concern for ordinary Americans:
As the center prepares for a star-studded pre-opening celebration on Thursday featuring performers including Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder and John Legend, Owen said it has been difficult to watch the buildup and soft-opening events take shape over the past few weeks while his company struggles financially.
“It was kind of hard seeing some local and national celebrities high-fiving and back-slapping here about the work that’s been done,” Owen said. “The backdrop of a coming celebration is kind of hard to swallow for me and for some of my peers at the moment.”
The article goes on to note that "the Obama Presidential Center was built around one of the most ambitious efforts to increase participation by minority-owned businesses and workers from historically underserved communities," but then reports that many of the contractors that have not been paid and are struggling financially as a result are these same minority-owned businesses.
Niggers gonna Nig... It's what the name means, not the melanin content of their skin. It means they act niggargly.
