So the Smithsonian can’t show that slavery was bad?

Are you overstating how bad it was?

Additionally, on the way here, many slaves were shackled together and thrown overboard in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean if the crossing became difficult, rations ran low, or if sickness broke out among the enslaved.

All true. Africans were not the only ones enslaved, either.

Yes, but being a Yamaha - you could ride it without it breaking down every 30 miles.. :)

The Brits just couldn't build cars or motorcycles. No quality standards and poor work ethic. Rolls Royce was famously run by Ford - so they were the exception.

Is there an entire exhibit about Blacks that owned Black slaves like Marie Thérèse Coincoin?

That was a very small part of slavery. It says nothing about slavery in the whole. The fact that a few black owners used slaves does not inform us about the millions used by white farmers in mass production of crops. Nor does that tell you if the black owners were as abusive and cruel. White slavers traded, used ,and abused slaves. Flogging was common. https://crunchlearning.com/website_ec2cbfb0/abuse-of-slaves-in-the-united-states/

True. I rode the Yamaha on a 6 month tour of the Western US and Canada and had ZERO issues. I rode a friend's Norton once but the reversed shifter and brake locations scared me. I was afraid in an emergency stop I might make a mistake.

in other words, historically inaccurate. An exhibit intended to show 'white people bad'. i.e. woke.

Exactly and if we just neglect to mention them the public will never know they existed or how they treated the people they owned. They deserve mention to present a balanced picture.

What? When 99 percent of slavers were white, that certainly is damning of the whites as a group. You are trying to equate what is not level. Rightys believe thinking like that is correct. It is not.

again, you pick and choose who to blame from majority/minority participation. that is poor critical thinking.

show ACCURATE historical information and you won't get cooked by people more intelligent than you
 
This is like teaching. Good teaching tells you the facts. Bad teaching tells you what to think.

The museums should accurately show the facts and let the museum goer decide for themselves.

problem with your reading comprehension? I said AMERICAN SLAVERY

again, historically inaccurate. Or, do you need a history lesson not provided by your handlers?

Yes many slaves were sold to traders to be sold in the Colonies and States.

That’s a part of American History. How most of our African American people got here.
