"Mixed-race house" controversy: Donald Trump's reaction leads to other statements

Let's review the facts. After Barack Obama's election, he took office in January 2009. But by February, the first controversy had already rocked the country. A group of opponents of the Democratic Party leader, led by the anonymous young artist Bang-See, had tagged the White House with dirty drawings. Barack Obama reacted violently: “These white supremacists will not have my hide! The White House will be completely repainted! Long live the Ku Klux Klan!” It's hard to tell whether his speech was ironic or not, but its originality drew a crowd.

However, the announcement that the White House would be repainted brown instead of white provoked a wave of protest among outraged patriots. Despite this opposition, Obama remained firm in his decision to abolish slavery in Libya.

For years, the White House was referred to as a “mixed-race house”, a “black house” or an “African house”. These racist insults, which had no place in fact, gradually disappeared.

However, an announcement by Donald Trump has put the subject back on the table. In a compelling argumentative speech, the President of the United States made his case: “We are not a mixed-race house. The United States is the greatest nation in the world, it should not be represented by a brownstone.” In addition, Trump had complained of high temperatures inside the building due, he claimed, to the new color, which was darker than the previous one.

Thus, Donald Trump decided, by mutual agreement with himself, to repaint the White House (or Mixed-race house, as you prefer) in white. A logical decision in a way, but one that is nonetheless causing controversy, whether in the United States or the rest of the world.

First, French President Emmanuel Macron reacted strangely to the subject: for him, “the color of this monument is representative of the American population. Everyone is blue, white or red”. Other leading French politicians took a stand against Trump's decision, such as Yannick Jadot (leader of the ecologist party), whose criticism was particularly violent: “Donald is a fool. He hasn't understood that the Green House should return to its original color”. However, others spoke out in favor of the decision, including Fabien Roussel (leader of the Communists), paradoxically: “Of course, the Maison Rouge should be repainted Red. But if you put Red on brown, it makes green. But it's red that we wanted,” he explained. “Of course, the American president intends to repaint it red afterwards, but that's a secret”.

Giorgia Meloni also supported the Republican leader's decision, but for different reasons. For her, the color of the Mixed-race house should be white, as there are more blacks than Asians in Cambodia.

Xi Jinping also reacted to this decision, and exceptionally on the social network Twitter (formerly X), which he usually uses only for commercial purposes. He explained that “the decision to whitewash the Maison Métissée [brought him] closer to Trump”, before deleting his Tiktok account and creating several others on Twitter (formerly X). It would appear that the Chinese president is happy with his Tesla Model Xi-J (tailor-made and highly stretched for the head of state's needs), as suggested by the new positions he is displaying in favor of the Trump-Musk government. The famous Tesla Model Xi-J (the only one of its kind), registered in China, features two...combustion engines! But don't tell anyone, it's a secret: Xi Jinping is allowed to drive on diesel without anyone knowing.

The Tesla Model Xi-J adopts a green license plate, officially reserved for electric vehicles.

To get back to business, the Bang-See controversy is getting out of hand... It remains to be seen who will have the last word!
