Hotels/subdivisions with “plantation” in the name

[Anonymous]

I was recently in Florida and Georgia for six weeks on a work project. I was struck by how many hotels/resorts as well as subdivisions had “plantation” in their name. It makes me uncomfortable. Anyone else? I would never spend money to live in a neighborhood or stay at a hotel with plantation in the name. How about you?

I’m AA. And no, it doesn’t make me uncomfortable.

Not all plantations had slaves, you know.

Oh god, we're going to eliminate the word "plantation" now?

Mrs. White Liberal. Nobody asked you to be uncomfortable for other people. Stay in your lane.

Do plantation shutters also make you uncomfortable?

I wouldn’t stay at/buy a property with “plantation” in the name any more than one with “concentration camp” in the name. It just makes me uncomfortable.

Not OP but the term does, yes. I call them “interior shutters.”

Was it once an actual plantation turned into a hotel? Yeah that’s weird.
Vs a chain hotel that just has plantation in the name? I’d stay there

Where in the post did he or she indicate he or she was white?

You remind me of a group of UMC white people at work who tried to guilt me for calling my maid a maid when her freaking business card says MAID in huge letters. So sick of these SJWs

I agree. When I was home shopping in suburban Atlanta, I avoided subdivisions with plantation in the name. I can't understand or accept why subdivisions built in the 2000s would be named plantation.

This was the most confusing thing when my family moved from CT to SC when I was a teenager. There were whole subdivisions with plantation in the title. I remember when we were buying a house my mom told me we won’t be living in anything named plantation voluntarily.

No way in hell. I also refused to attend a wedding held at Secession Golf Club for this reason.

FYI, President Obama stayed at Plantation Estate every winter during his time in office.
