.. which features layers of galleries focused on slavery, segregation and the civil rights movement..Yes, the constant reminder.
But Wait, there's More!
..The Oprah Winfrey Theater, a stunning 350-seat space with echoes of the buildings bronze exterior, appears to be complete.
Of course, LOL.

Whites will be the tour guides, shackled and barefoot to bring about true social justice!

There is certainly a positive story to be told about black history in our country.
I hope this museum does not deliver propaganda.
To: PROCON
Will never set foot in that place.

And all highly racist.
But that is a “good” racism, right?

I wonder if they will have an exhibit showing the thousands of blacks who were slave owners.
Or if they will have an exhibit showing the blacks selling their prisoners to the Muslim slave traders.
Blacks are responsible for their own slave trade. If it weren’t for them the Muslims wouldn’t have the prisoners to trade. No white guy or Muslime was going to go into the jungle to capture them.

If this was an honest museum, a large part of it would be the history of the Democratic Party in defending slavery and then, after the Civil War, reinstituting racial segregation in the form of Jim Crow laws, and terrorizing blacks into submission with the KKK. It should be called the “See how the Democrats have poisoned race relations over 200 years” Museum.

Yeah,right.
Museums show what they want to show just like the MSM only tells us what they want us to hear.
I’m getting very cynical in my “golden” years.

Or they could have a whole wing on Woodrow Wilson's racist views and his re-segregation of the federal government in the 1910s.
