No it's a free country and people should do what they want and just ignore some people's incessant griping and demands. I think everyone should have a plantation wedding and fly a confederate flag just as an act of resistance if nothing else .
You mean like the griping you do because people on the street are speaking Spanish?

They are largely illegals and doing it in my presences. If they want to yell in a poorly spoken foreign language, they should do it away from me or better yet back in their homeland. These aren't just good ol' Americans choosing to practice speaking a foreign language pleasantly and politely.
Wedding ceremonies at a plantation are no imposition on anyone else. But illegally colonizing my home town is an imposition in every sense. Apples and oranges.

Oh stop. You have no idea who is here legally and who isn't.
You're great at telling people to get over it and get with modern day history when you want to live in a segregated world.
Miss me with painting me with the perpetual foreigner stereotype.
But you have little to no connection to white and black American's history and the people, but you like to criticize it. It's uncouth and distasteful and suspect.
Progressives ALLOW themselves to be offended by everything and must get some kind of euphoria from banning things and CONTROLLING others. It needs to STOP. They are huge control freaks.
On the one hand, I agree with you. In this case, I find it odd that plantations are being singled out.
On the other hand, finally standing up and telling you what you are saying is inappropriate and rude is literally the opposite of being a snowflake.
A control freak could be a person who says and does sh***y things to people and then gets mad that they won't stand for it anymore.

Baloney, it's clear that these people are migrants. It's also matter of numbers too. Millions of Latin Americans cross that border but only a 100,000 or so are authorized to cross and take up residency. It's like 10:1 illegal vs legal origin. Would that all these foreigners arriving in such massive and unassimilated levels be legal it doesn't make it much better anyway.
Segregated world? So you do want open borders to Latin America? Thanks for admitting the truth.
You liberal snowflakes are ridiculous. The more accurate analogy would be, are you offended by visiting the Palace of Versailles because its a symbol of King Louis's oppression and because the royal family wasn't very nice to their servants???? Or are you offended by visiting Mayan Pyramids in Mexico because human sacrificies occurred there?
Slavery was part of human history and visiting a plantation don't mean that you're celebrating it. I have many plantations in my area, and they keep the charm from the bygone days. Not even all black people here are offended by plantations!!! They recognize that some of the biggest attractions in this area are plantations.
Visiting for history's sake in one thing. Having a celebration there, is totally inappropriate!
Here we go again with who suffered more. Next I visit a museum of Chinese American history and someone mentions your hardships I can say "big deal,"
Where did I say that Chinese Americans suffered more? Not getting drawn into a competition with the Oppression Olympics was my point.
