[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m personally ok with it but you have to decide how you feel.

We are all living on land we violently took from Native Americans and we don’t let that bother us enough not to do it. [/quote]

This is the truest statement in this entire thread. If you complain about plantations, you better complain about every inch of soil you step on day to day. Cause guess what, you’re just as guilty. [/quote]

You honestly don't see the difference in someone *choosing* to hold a wedding on a plantation?  Seriously?  And considering it "romantic"?  Come on.

No, I honestly do not. Do you view the Native Americans as lesser than everyone else or something? Because you seem to have no qualms about sticking your head in the sand about the land you live on. [/quote]

First, don't tell me how I live my life.  Of course I don't see American Indians as lesser, and I stand up for them a hell of a lot more than I see many do (people who wear Washington football team gear, I'm looking at you).

Second, I didn't choose to be born in this country.  I did choose where to hold my wedding, though, and it sure as hell wasn't going to be on a plantation. [/quote]

So again, just to be clear, you’re totally cool with living your life on stolen land. You libs are absolutely hysterical the way you talk out of both sides of your mouth. The horrors perpetrated on the Native Americans aren’t the trendy issue du jour for lib America so apparently it just doesn’t matter. “But look at me! I heart the blacks! Equality for everyone!” You have zero credibility.  #whatindians #hypocrite[/quote]

DP. I think you are a loon. Your solution is for everyone other than Native Americans to up and leave? It may be just but it isn't feasible in the least. OP is asking about a specific plantation for a wedding and how that combination can dredge up overt and deeply uncomfortable whitewashing of the history of that specific place. [/quote]
