    Were it an actual museum of sorts, I’d agree. This wasn’t a place people went to learn about the horrors of slavery, it was a fucking resort

        It was at one point. It stopped being a museum because of income issues because people in this country aren’t the “learn your horrible history” type, they’re more the bulldoze and forgot type.

        Ahhh that’s why the US is such a shit country. I get it! It’s because of the genocide of the indigenous people. So the entire US is kinda like Auschwitz. It’s just not a place you want to live.

        And this here is why capitalism is good, it prevents the masses from forcing the horrors of history to be dull and gloomy just because the vast majority of people want it to be.
