It's just a fantasy.Plantation weddings are wrong. Why is it so hard for white Americans to admit that? | Malaika Jabali
Last Thursday, BuzzFeed News reported that online platforms, including Pinterest and the Knot Worldwide, would restrict content that features or romanticizes weddings held on former slave plantations. These changes were the result of a campaign by the social justice organization Color of Change. In a letter, Color of Change wrote that “plantations are physical reminders of one of the most horrific human rights abuses the world has ever seen. The wedding industry routinely denies the violent conditions Black people faced under chattel slavery by promoting plantations as romantic places to marry.”
What sort of people would get married in places like these?
Some people get married on cruise ships - I'm not bored enough to care, or be one of the empty-headed voyeurs who spends their life oogling and envying others' weddings - and probably reads the National Enquirer... and watches TV shows like "Real Housewives"... and has an IQ somewhere between 60-90.
