If it was a museum about the horrors of slavery you'd have a point, the problem is this was a resort. They were still literally profiting off of slavery...
Wait till you learn about half of the hotel resort histories. Many of them use castles and palaces that were just as mean towards slaves.
Transforming something with bad history into a hotel or resort is something that happens all the time, everywhere.
I mean, there is literally haunted hotels tourism, and those buildings have commonly seen some really dark stuff.
In my country, there is a prison hotel where I can spend a night in a building where my kind used to be.. well, it's history, so people like visiting those places, including me.
Should we burn them all?
IDK maybe? Are the people and political structures that committed those horrors still in power?
What? No, lol. I mean, modern slavery is a thing, but it's not really a race thing anymore, neither it's done by the government, but human trafficking and exploitation in general by criminal groups.
It's absolutely done by the government via prison labor and it's absolutely still a race thing.
