      Isn’t that the whole point of the visit? The museum is about the slavery imposed by Dutch colonists on South Africa at the time.

        “Oh look there’s grandpa with his collection of severed hands. I think we still have that chair!”

        It’s hard to take this as anything more than looking sad as conspicuously as possible.

        Though slavery of black people by whites is well pronounced, it was introuced by black people hunting their own, and selling them to Europeans. It still goes on in Africa up to this day by blacks enslaving blacks.

        Slavery is not European invention, it’s human’s invention and has no preference in race. It’s based on stronger <> weaker position , e.g. after loosing war, losers became slaves to winners. In Africa stronger tribes attacked weaker ones took their women, killed resistance and sold kids and rest as slaves.

          You almost have a well-made point, except that part of it sounds like you are low-key trying to blame black people specifically for the beginning of all slavery.
