Saying black folks are on a "plantation" because they vote Democrat is intentionally drawing on a racially provocative reference to the institution of slavery...are you saying people don't know what they are doing?

Context is everything. I've used "off the plantation" in the obverse of this use - because a minority person, particularly of African extraction and/or a high profile, well-known person, who breaks ranks with the Democrat party is almost immediately ASSAULTED from all sides by the mainstream media. Try to deny that.

So, when I say it, I say it in defense of the minority person's right to think for himself/herself.
