Can you imagine how I would feel, knowing that the pyramid was built by an ancestor of mine who was a slave in chains, being whipped under the burning Sun of Egypt, as he, alongside thousands of other slaves, hauled huge stone blocks, to build a monument to the God-King-Pharaoh? Nothing else was possible, after his village was looted and the women taken away to be used. The Pharaoh was lord, and this was implicit, because power begets power.
Pyramids have aesthetic value, but they are not as innocent as a toddler's thumb-painting that you have pinned to the fridge.
The Sistine chapel ceiling is Art, sure. Commissioned by a genocidal hierarchy of conquistadors, colonizers, and imperial mindfuckers.
I am not proud of Mt. Vernon, though it is indeed, a beautiful plantation.
Let's not be naive!
