my city is racist as hell
racist to the point to fuck itself over twice
Richmond, VA was one of the main points on the "slave trade triangle"
Is there a slavery muesuem in Richmond, VA? No, that made people uncomfortable, so they moved to the middle of bumfuck nowhere.
Richmond, VA just happened also to be the Confederate capital during the Civil War (and it was a civil war because Virginian fought against Virginian) but is there a Confederate musem? No , not really. It's headquarted here, but only tax documents, etc. are there. The exhibitions have been split among three sepearate localities.
I really don't a give a s**t about the Civil War or Slavery, but if we had those musems, or how-ever-the-fuck-you spell museum, we could increase our tourist revenue by quite a bit. Enough to buy an up to date sewer system for when half the city floods, wheich is every couple of years or so.
Seriously, Pochohantos, John Henry, Henry Clay, Edgar Allan Poe, and Mr. Bill Bogangles Robinison all lived here, and no one knows where they hung out? I'm calling shennangings on Reverand Mayor, and everyone else in this commonwealth....we were one of the first cities, goddamnit, we shouldn't be one of the last.
/rant about local government corruption bordering on mayor daly/barry style levels of wanting-to-vomitude
