Offensive Racial Memorabilia Museum. Very Bad Precedent

An offensive and Racist Memorabilia Museum was opened in Michigan.

The Museum contains items that are repugnant to human sensitivity.

The ostensible Objective is to teach Tolerance!

Like Live Demo of Rape to prevent Rapes!

Disgusting.

Individual Freedom should never be at the cost of the Society.

Your Freedom ends, where my nose begins”

Story.

Jim Crown Museum.

The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia, in Michigan, US, contains a vast range of posters, toys and signs depicting shocking stereotypes of African American people.

It includes outdated theories of evolution, instructions on how to “black up” for the theatre and even a full-size replica of a lynching tree.

The collection, which makes for extremely uncomfortable viewing in the modern day, is said to be the largest of its kind in the world.

It was amassed by the founder and curator of the museum David Pilgrim, who began collecting the pieces as a teenager.

Mr Pilgrim, who is black himself, said the exhibit was “not a shrine to racism” but was about teaching.

The collection includes a series of signs taken from shops and public transport, declaring “Colored: seated in rear” while one business slogan reads: “Our business is black but we treat you white.”

Others show prevalent use of now-unacceptable terms including n—– and c—n.

One bizarre poster appears to show the evolution between a watermelon and a black man, and another captures a baby drinking from an inkwell with the caption “N—– milk”.

Another shows four young black children sitting by a river, with the caption “Alligator bait”.

Other parts of the collection were originally intended to be toys or household objects, with dolls, bottle openers and a tea pot styled in the head of a black man.
