NOT EXACTLY AMUSING An insane American couple wants to open a park in Haiti that will allow visitors to experience what it was like to be a slave. Visitors to Memory Village would decide whether they wanted to be spectators or participants during a twelve-hour day. The latter would receive traditional African clothing and then be mock-kidnapped from their homelands, shackled, chained and forced to march to the slave ship (resting on a real stream), where they’d be piled in as cargo for the crossing of the Atlantic. Once the ship reached the New World, the participants would be brought to market and sold, then broken down in the quarantine and put to work out on the plantation. Near the end of the day, a slave rebellion would start, a rebellion that would eventually lead to the establishment of Haiti. Sounds like exactly the sort of thing I want to spend my hard-earned money doing.

Do you get to "mock" kill whities as part of the rebellion??? I wonder if you get souvenir machetes, too?
Now that sounds like some family fun!!
Now THAT is some bulls*t…
Maybe they should try it out first!
This sounds damn stupid.
This takes white peoples culture vulture ways to a whole new level. And it takes capatilism to a whole new level.
