It’s not just what you say to people
And it’s not the way you look at me
It’s the way you present yourself
For all your worst critics to see

Yep. Human zoos were a thing. Not only in America, but in a lot of countries in Europe. Matter of fact, it was Europe that started the terrible exhibits back in the 1800s, then New York started having the “zoos” in the 20th century. Over 28 million white people would go to these “zoos” to see hundreds of black and indigenous people as a “major attraction”.
People who suffered in these zoos might still be alive today. Do not let this be lost in history.
White folks still exhibit this level of racist vouyerism. Now it just happens online.
