@MissConstrue here’s a nuanced look at the #Nottoway demise. This is a great article for those interested:

So y’all, let’s talk about how a 166 year old remnant of human suffering was finally razed to the ground by an electrical fire. I speak of course, of the largest antebellum plantation in the country. A plantation that never mentioned slavery in its marketing to bridezillas with the lack of soul it would take to dance on the graves of the slaves that built the building. Seriously, having your event at #Nottoway White Castle is literally holding a ceremony under trees where men, women and children were lynched.

So, I leave you with my favorite picture of Nottoway, and pray that the fire and destruction released any spirit who was trapped by the weight of history. Be at peace and finally at rest.

Black Americans and their allies expressed vindication over the weekend as the historic Nottoway Plantation House, which once thrived on slave labor, burned to the ground. The site in Louisiana was operating as a resort. https://bit.ly/3YQxFk7 #nottoway

ok one last one

I don't think this one is AI. The artist is Celia A. Goddess, or Celia P. Holmes on facebook.

we love to see it

weird af seeing people defending that plantation like i of all people get appreciating neat historical architecture and how many people were employed there who aren't as of today but given who built that architecture and how many people worked there without employ like….. the numbers kinda win here bros

if my family was forced to build a castle for some rich bastards and abused in the worst ways possible to keep that castle running for hundreds of years and then when they were no longer stuck there the owners kept making millions off that legacy of abuse and forced labour and in such a disrespectful way, celebrating that legacy, i'd very much feel entitled to do the same.

good on those girls for lighting the way

aw heck i can't do multi pic uploads. threading

Oh well . . . .
