[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Great, you won. Go have a cookie. You're more "rational" than every other person who has an emotional response to plantations, which remind many of us of death camps.

Universities do not remind people of death camps. The world isn't fair. Le fin.[/quote]

[b]More slave-apologist and white privilege drivel. [/b] BTW - if you can't use English words correctly, you should definitely stay away from foreign words.  [b]La[/b] fin. [/quote]

What are you talking about? People are allowed to feel uncomfortable at plantation death camps. [/quote]

It's difficult to have a frank discussion if you are going to call them plantation death camps. Slaves were extremely valuable and expensive commodity. A typical slave cost more money than most American made in years. The slaveholders had a vested interest in their well being to an extent. Your typical slave had a diet and health care standard not atypical of free working laborers, black and white, of the time. The purpose of the plantation was not to work people to death or to exterminate them as the holocaust death camps were. [/quote]

+1.

It is insulting to call them death camps.[/quote]

Insulting to who? Brides?[/quote]
