All of the explanations from racist posters trying to justify a plantation wedding are just making them sound even more racist.

The arguments are weak and ridiculous. No one is stopping you from having a plantation wedding, but have the guts to admit you are racist and simply don't care about black history.

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

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

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

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.

It is insulting to call them death camps.

Insulting to who? Brides?

Maybe it’s insulting to people who believe slaves where treated nicely.

"Profits from slavery and related industries helped fund some of the most prestigious schools in the Northeast, including Harvard, Columbia, Princeton and Yale. And in many southern states — including the University of Virginia — enslaved people built college campuses and served faculty and students."

I have absolutely no problem supporting or using institutions that may have slavery in their history. I have no problem going to a museum at a plantation or sending my children to a university that has slavery weaved into its history.

I have a problem inviting guests to a special event like a wedding at a site that would make them uncomfortable to attend. I would not have my wedding at a plantation if I had any potential guests that are black. I would not have my wedding at any of those colleges that have been flagged as having very disturbing pasts. I would choose a place that did not create such an uncomfortable atmosphere for any of my guests.

It is specious to conflate renting an event location for a special event that might be disturbing for your guests with sending your child to a school that has a disturbing past.
