    Poor Melania can't even dress right, she's reminding everyone of the military that actually enslaved the people she was visiting.

    BS! Your own source says:
    The US press corps has largely written off the ensembles as standard American-tourist-in-Africa garb. “Tourists in Africa, especially Americans, have come to be expected to show up in jungle-ready, beige catalogue-ordered safari gear,”

    But the White House’s best efforts to use Melania to soften her husband’s image may be overshadowed by the wardrobe she packed to do so.
    During a Wednesday visit to Cape Coast Castle, a fort on the Ghanaian coast from which hundreds of thousands of kidnapped Africans were shipped to the Americas as slaves, Melania wore a khaki jacket and linen pants that vaguely resembled military fatigues. She wore a similarly colored dress the following day during her trip to Malawi.
    As worn by Melania Trump, these outfits are a reminder of the Trump administration’s outdated, monolithic view of the African continent and its people. Instead of eclipsing Trump’s numerous Africa-related controversies, Melania’s trip to the continent may have brought them back to the forefront.
    BS for sure! Chill out, The above is just in the first four paragraphs per my source. I wasn't trying to start a war I was just pointing out that reporters will twist and turn any and everything to hopefully get a read.

    This whole “offended thing” is a bore. I could not possibly care less if someone or lot’s of someone’s are “offended” about damned near anything.

    Me, too. The whole "correctness" thing is a cancer that divides society more than the supposed affront.
