Well while I think the NAACP once again is doing something that makes no sense I don't think anyone would deny that this would bring a lot of money

A privately owned theme park, yes. A CA State Park, no. What the heck?

While I realize Hearst Castle is run by the State it is also a museum of the times as well as something of great archetectural interest.

Neverland is about Michael Jackson and his excess. It's much more like Graceland and should be treated as such.

I can just envision some of the featured attractions:

The "Come and sit on uncles lap" ride

The "Free candy from the guy in a car" stand

The "Guess which pocket holds the shiny silver dollar" arcade game

Someone needs to remind the NAACP that Michael Jackson didn't like being Black and spent time and money on bleaching/cosmetic surgery to be more White than Black.

These organizations, who once brought about needed change, are now a bunch of radical flakes with their own agenda and spit for brains.
