Bleeding Hearts

Now everyone can live out their slavery fantasies. Ron and Carla Bluntschli are hoping to launch Memory Village, an “amusement” park where visitors will live through the slave trade.

For twelve hours, you can experience being kidnapped, chained and sold on an auction block. They are even offering an opportunity to participate in a rebellion. Not cool at all. Is rape, castration, and lynching included in the package?

    I am really offended by this…IGNORANT!!!

  • J Breezi Keeps It Ez

    And so 2008 begins again with people getting racially out of pocket, and apparently this “theme park” will be located in Haiti, the site of the first successful black rebellion and first black republic. Are u serious? If you really want to bring attention to the history of slavery, how about helping the African American museum, how about fighting for reparation.

    Obviously bastards are born everyday and these people are just examples of some of them.

    Who in their right mind would want to relive slavery. After the expierence, do you now go out and tell the world you now know how it feels to be a slave. Plus I don’t think they had violins and guitars during that period. It looks like a rent party to me!

  • 504 ain’t got nowhere 2 go

    I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE BEGINNING OF A RACE WAR..

  • vjhe

    Well apparently all they have to do is advertise it as a experience that will give them ‘HOPE’ and people will fall in line like cattle.

    Wow! So um….museums aren’t enough? They all look like a bunch of hippie drug addicts anyway. They probably think this is normal. SMH….

    This is beyond ridiculous. Who do they think they are? It’s unbelievable that they are so stupid they would even release an idea like this to the press. That is, after having the audacity to even think it up. What frickin’ idiots.

  • Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    Yes, it they’re going to have Slavery — they should also include Nazi camps and Japanese concentration camps… everyone should be able to partake in those trecherous experiences, huh???

    Let’s continue to drege up those (for some) already ancestrial wrong doings that still anger some of us to this day!!!

    Call me crazy, but I would kill to experience this. I have visited plantations and get a feeling of eurphoria at the fact that my ancestors lived and worked there. I look at the acres of surrounding trees and imagine them trying to escape through them, but knowing they couldn’t get anywhere.

    One plantation I visited still had the house negroes quarters standing because they were made of brick. The were considered luxury quaters for slaves and were reserved for skilled slaves, but they didn’t have doors or windows. Another one I went to told us how the doorway floor outside the dining room had been dented in (you could see it) from the slave server standing there day in and day out for every meal.

  • toussaint

    as a Haitian person, I just wanna say, that I’ve never denied being African… but I just don’t want to be lumped together in a group by being called African-AMERICAN, not every black person in this country is an AFRICAN of AMERICAN descent… although technically since I was born here I am African American, but since Haitian’s get such a bad rap, about being AIDS carrying mongrels, I’d like to be known first and foremost as a Haitian Person so I can change the stereo-types that it seems all people, no matter what their race is have against Haitian people.

    This little amusement park idea is BS; I really hope somebody has sense enough to talk them out of this BS!!

  • Just Sit And Be Pretty

    That’s nuts. Hell, can I be the slave girl that’s a part of the rebellion…but before I shoot a few of ‘em and head to the underground railroad, can I pee/spit in their food and work roots on their asses in the back woods? WTF?!?! What a ridiculous idea.

    All you need is for one fool who takes it a step to far and someone really could get hurt.

  • elle

    so slavery is equated to some sort of f^cking retreat…?

    —————

    I know, right? Because the whipping, raping, stealing and selling of your children, lynching, castrating, humiliating and degrading is really what its about. This is just some S&M park.

    @ roc city

    if u repn NY that had a long story of freedom trails with Freddrick Douglas, and a host of other abolistionist. wonder how many times he’s turned over n his grave knoing about this tomfoolery. mega sad these people could have this kind of heart. yo i’m writing the script now n wondering who’d make the better Freddrick Douglas on screen? Denzel W. or Morgan Freeman, or Forest Whitaker, or u name one.

    But i’m feeln now that i put this up my script will be taken, fuc it the story needs to be told

    I think it’s a great idea. Bring everyone that say the n word so they can relive what lost souls faught so hard for so that we can get respect today. First person come to mind is Nas. I would love to have white people who enjoy disrespecting black people experience it but make their journey more brutal for the whole 12 hrs

    If anyone’s visting Wisconsin or Chicago, IL (or lives around those parts) swing by America’s only museum dedicated to slavery, etc. It’s located in Milwaukee. I have heard that they are trying to collect enough funds to build a larger one, but in the mean time visit the site: blackholocaustmuseum.org

    It was started by James Cameron (R.I.P) America’s last living lynching survivor..

    I’m surprised they don’t have one in DC. They have a Holocuast Museum, which is very depressing. So I’m thinking that if they have one for the Jews why not the blacks, it would only seem right. I might have to make this a mission of mine….

    how about EVERY descendant of slavery receiving fuccing therapy for being treated like animals for 400 plus centuries??? how about that???

    ^^^^Right.. DC would be the most logical place to have such a museum, but you know, I don’t think we’ve raised enough hell about this or how slavery

    is an afterthought in American history books.. And don’t get me started on Black History Month…

  • hey

    Does that Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman have anything to do with this? Curious since she too finds slavery, lynching, and the like amusing.

    No but seriously, there is a respectful way to immortalize history so that we can learn from it…I hope that they choose that way.

  • Traydayz

    I think this where they should send people that are convicted of hate crimes. A museum would have been better. Fo the people whining that there is a holocaust museum, Jews love each other! They donated MONEY to see that their past is not forgotten. Look how long it is taking to get the money for DR King’s memorial and it is still drama attached to that because they are trying to use a Korean guy to sculpt it. We have got to do better!!

    This is insanity in the works and stupidity in motion. True slavery was more than anguish, they’re playing with fire and making light of so many tribulations. Their payment will come in time because every action deserves a reaction, cause and effect is a universal law.

    Proverbs 17:5

    He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.

    I’m just saying…

    @Bird,

    Are you fukkin crazy? You get a feeling of euphoria at the fact that women in your family tree were raped, beaten, had their children sold right before their eyes? All the while the black men in your family had to endure the sickening sight of his black woman carrying white seed? Ducking castration of the black dyck, thats if they didn’t wind up “strange fruit” in a damn tree!

  • http://www.myspace.com/misstbeasley Miss Beasley

    Exactly Stringer…but he already said he wasn’t a Black Man

  • miss thang

    See this is what happens when you let hippie people pretending to be ‘rasta’ get to comfortable in your country. I don’t see the rebel Haitians dealing with this AT ALL. These idiot must think he going to the olden days Haiti that was a hotspot vacation palace back in the day…

    BTW, there are AFRICAN Americans who don’t want to even be considered Black (you know how many times I’ve heard ‘I ain’t Black I am brown!’ or ‘I ain’t no damn African’) much less African. It goes both ways. We have lost brothers and sisters all over the place. Haitians were the FIRST on the west side to gain their independance from slavemasters. LOOK IT UP! That is why they are suffering so badly now. They wouldn’t bow down…much like Cuba.

  • Momo – Not Straddling the Fence – for now

    @Jessica

    @Stringer Bell

    I don’t know why black people embrace Tiger. We sure know how to take ownership of some bullshyt.

  • Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    Just a thought but maybe that would be ideal for Tiger… he could visit they’re Slavery camp so that he could envision what his ancestors went through since he can’t imagine and dare not relate.

    It might be a good thing — for some after all.

    NOT REALLY!!!! Slavery is not meant for anybody!

    Yes because that is how they lived. I don’t try to run from it. Whether we like it or not it is a big part of our history in this country. I want to see what it was like with my own eyes. I had the wrong idea about a lot of it, so it was very enlightening to see.

    NEWS UPDATE…Donda West

    TMZ has just received the final coroner’s report on the death of Donda West. The L.A. County Coroner has concluded that Kanye’s mom died of “coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors due to or as a consequence of liposuction and mammoplasty.” Plainly put, she had a heart attack after the surgery.

    The report indicates her final manner of death “could not be determined.”

    The coroner says several things could have played a role in her death, but they could not say for sure what exactly killed her, adding there was no evidence that anesthesia — or even the surgery — caused or contributed to her death.

  • Shawn08

    1) Tiger Woods does not identify himself with being black, so he would never be offended by what she said.

    2) WeSSide…you took my entire point and made it something to fit your anger. And yes, I am black, and would participate in living a day as a slave. I want to feel the same hurt, pain, rejection, submission,and all of that. I want to feel something that will trigger in my everyday life, NOT TO FORGET WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH. I want to be able to feel everyday I wake up with a purpose of living not only for myself, but for those who didn’t have the right to live for themselves. I want our youngsters to wake up and understand their true purpose on this earth. I want white people to be able to understand how treating one race with such disgrace would have such a negative impact 400 years later.

    I respect your opinions and feelings about this.

    The idea of the of them summing up the Slave experience in 12 hrs is preposterous. And I thought the point of learing about history is so that we would not have to “relive” it. Has anyone ever seen that HBO special about the Slave narratives. OMG I sobbed like a baby.

  • binary star

    Oh yeah and that NJ Representative. And Kramer!!!

    See how the list goes on and on. That’s why I figure maybe just all of them should go.

  • WeSSide Eviscer8r

    i never said u weren’t Black…i said u were a pale gonad…and, if U need to feel what it was like to be a slave…say THAT. but, the majority of Black folks i kick it with r not “twinkie bus special education mofos…” we know we are STILL slaves and that we are STILL trying to get these shackles off. u rewind…i’m trying to go forward and take as many ppl with me as i can.

  • African Queen

    You house nig’s don’t even realize how powerful a statement this really is. Any black person that gets mad because of this has “no idea” what happened during slavery. If you did you would want the world to have the opportunity to empathize. I hope they make it as real as possible and every person in America should be required to go. I commend them as the ancestors of all the white freedom fighters of the past. The truth hurts and upsets people, that’s why it’s necessary for change.

  • African Queen

    Black people you have to study and draw strength from the slavery experience. All those things are still happening today. READ!!!

    SANKOFA! (In order to move forward you must remember your past)

  • Momo – Got a hitch in my giddy up from fence ridin

    How are you gonna try to make a intellegent argument and spew insults at the same time??

    This little experiment will only trivialize slavery. Anybody who wants to know real slave experience needs to read some slave narratives.

    And with that said – Good Evening!
