Yes, thank you.No doubt there are some very charming antebellum plantation homes with well meaning albeit clueless owners who offer a genuine southern experience.
I have no desire to have an old school, white supremacist experience. Those places of pain and misery should be razed.
So the factories of the north will also be razed?
I have no idea what this means or how it relates to air bnb or my point.
You stated that antebellum homes should be razed because they were places of pain and misery. The factories of the northeast, especially those using child labor, were also places of pain and misery. I simply asked if they would be razed too. Applying the same standards you used.
Ok. Except the conversation was about housing accomodations in the south. Specifically, air bnb and your suggestion of an antebellum home.
Indeed it was. And I know of several beautiful old homes that have been turned in B&Bs and are rented on AirBNB. And I stated that very thing. Plus, the hosts are gracious and friendly. The hosts, as far as I know, are not white supremacists (I personally know that 2 of the host couples are not).
There, now I have responded to the entirety of your post. Better?
I never said the owners were white supremacists. Certainly though, the antebellum properties and the "charm" associated with that period are steeped in white supremacy. I'm sorry but I don't find anything about that period of the south to be charming. Savannah is a beautiful city, as many are, but is haunted by a history that I just can't abide.
