[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote] If you think those terms are comparable then you’re an utter fool.[/quote] Are you kidding? You have your head in the sand about our shameful past. Racist.[/quote] Our past is certainly shameful and yes, racist. (For that matter, so is our present.) But really, "plantation" and "concentration camp" are [i]not[/i] comparable terms. There have been plantations around the world that existed without enslaved people to support them. But concentration camps' explicit purpose is for detaining or confining people under armed guard. Not the same.[/quote]
