MJ's Bro to Build a Slavery Theme Park

Supposedly Marlon Jackson and other investors are building a slavery theme park. They’re building The Badagry Historical Resort in Nigeria. The resort will include a museum, memorial, theme park, golf course, casino, Jackson museum, holograms of the Jackson 5 and a repical of a slave ship.
The description says, "Visitors will be able to explore the site of the former transatlantic slave trade, honor the hundreds of thousands who died in what were horrific human rights abuses, and then head off for a round of golf or a massage, before gawping at animatronic versions of the siblings who sang ABC and I Want You Back."
One Nigerian historian said, "It is not appropriate from a cultural or historical point of view." Source
UM! WTF?! I don’t even know what to do with this information. Like will this feature a Song of the South ride? Do you get to have your picture taken on the auction block? Does the guy at the Dip ‘N Dots stand wear a burlap sack and chains? This is wrong on so many levels.
