OK I read the whole article, and this does seem genuine. I love the statement JAf released after their wedding in Vegas. That she mentioned they were getting married at the same time as a gay male couple and saying what love and marriage is all about, without mentioning genders. I shed a tear.

You guys are looking for shade when there's none there. Ben has had this house for 20 years waiting for his one true love to return to lord over all they see before them. The 13 "guest" cottages will be converted to "staff" quarters to resume the production of rice, cotton and indigo. Being the progressives that they are, staff whippings will be kept at a minimum

I have news for r20, almost everything old that was built outside of Europe was built by slaves. Inside of Europe they were built by indentured servants (AKA slaves who were told they could eventually get their freedom after 60 years hard labour. Trouble is not many lived past 40).
This year's World Cup will be held in Qatar. The stadium has been being built by slaves, many of whom have been beaten to death on the job or died because of unsafe work conditions. There are reportedly hundreds of bodies encased in the concrete of the foundation and structure. FIFA is well aware of this, which is why, as the Cup approaches, instead of taking any kind of stand, they've ordered all FIFA footballers to stop taking the knee. Wouldn't want that embarrassing contrast while they're playing footie in Slave Stadium.
Everyone is fine with the fact that there's slavery in China. No one lifts a finger to stop modern slavery. Why? It's not profitable to do that. It's only profitable or power-grabbing to bitch about slavery in one country, hundreds of years ago, in order to tear that country down and destroy it. Just happens that it's the first country to fight a war to stop slavery, losing a huge percentage of the male population and thereby crippling itself in the process, but never mind. Let's just tear it down anyway, while ignoring the history of slavery all over the world, including the history of the people who sold the African slaves. Right, r20?
If you doubt me, why don't you look it up on your iPhone - which was made by slaves, r20.

Every right-on asshole is absolutely fine with the fact that Qatar has used slaves to build 8 stadiums, and indeed with all the slavery that has gone on and still goes on around the world, but they'll still bitch endlessly about the fact that there exist former plantation houses (which stopped being such over 150 years ago) still standing in the United States.
They don't actually care about slavery. They just want to see the United States (ideally the West as a whole) and its historical monuments burned down because it affords them a warped cultural sense of superiority.

Let me clue some of you in. The term "plantation" is simply another name for "farm". The term does not automatically mean they were owned by slave holders. Many plantation owners of the old south never owned or had any interest in slave labor. They employed paid workers, some who lived on the plantation in their own houses, on their own plot of land they could grow & sell their own crops on, provided by the plantation owner.

The issue for me about plantation houses is not that they continue to exist, but they are treated with reverence as deeply important historical spaces that have meaning beyond the building and land that is inhabited. They are like a cemetery or akin to Grantās Tomb or the Gettysburg Battlefield. There should be respect and acknowledgement about what occurred there and something like a wedding, and especially a celebrity wedding spits in the face of that. Itās like how the only way the Coliseum was saved was by declaring it a monument to Christian martyrdom. They should be saved, preserved and their foundational mission be about education. Not about wealthy, pretty, people having the happiest day of their lives on top of the broken bodies of those who never had a moments peace.

R36 No, Iām not, I thought we were on a broader conversation about the legacy of slavery, which does call to mind why would anyone use a term like āplantationā for a modern construction? Itās like building a new cruise ship and calling it a Slave Ship. We should be working towards defining those things as places of the past and a particular historical era. Otherwise they are trying to white wash and reclaim something that should not be reclaimed or made clean and not problematic.
Itās like all those Jim Crow era Confederacy monuments that tried to make the South seems heroic instead of wrong and beaten. There should be a feeling one gets when they hear the term plantation that should be on par with the term concentration camp. And the same way you wouldnāt have a wedding in a concentration camp, weddings and plantations should not go hand in hand, unless itās your family home handed down generations and still the optics on that donāt look so good.

R33 you do understand there is a difference in the terms "slave plantation" & "plantation", do you not. If prejudiced dummies want to assume that every plantation was a slave plantation, well you can't worry about them. Stupid is as stupid does. My late grandfather grew up on and inherited a 4000 acre "plantation" that had been in his family since the 1700s. No slave ever worked that land or worked in the main house.
Let's talk about how most black people outside the south were treated back in those days. If you think black people in NYC, Philly, Boston, and any other place "up north" were treated like equal citizens, well you've got a lot to learn. But then that's not a popular talking point, is it? It's a not so well hidden dirty secret.

Nobody thinks black were treated well up north. Also in deeper history, Northern colonies were filled with slaves. Providence Plantations were worked by ENSLAVED native Americans. Then got rich on slave trading in the south and the West Indies.

The term plantation in the south refers to SLAVE OWNING kind of plantation. A very large farm (4,000 acres) with no slaves in the Slave Owning south would have been an extreme rarity.

r40 conveniently ignores that the majority of Native American tribes were such enthusiastic slave owner that they refused to agree to give up their slaves after the war. The US government granted them a minimum of 10 years leniency. They kept slaving for longer than even that after the war, with the governement turning a blind eye to keep the peace.
