quote:

Rachael faced backlash earlier this month for attending an “antebellum plantation-themed ball” at Georgia College & State University, thrown by the college fraternity, Kappa Alpha.


quote:

Kappa Alpha has been criticized as "racist” due to its embrace of Confederate General Robert E. Lee as its “spiritual leader.”

The Southern fraternity throws their annual bash during “Old South Week” - a popular event that has previously been held on plantations and used Confederate flags for decoration.


Antebellum south?

[Cancelled]
Not Cancelled

Bonus content from reddit:

quote:

A “Gone with the wind” theme is not any better. That still glorifies the Old South.

She should identify as an otherkin. She'd then get a pass.

I'm sure all those girls who attended were thinking "wow, this is great and all but you know what would really make this better? slavery".

Saw this on GMA this morning.
Followed by a segment about Chinese New Year and the related culture / celebrations.

The previous bachelorette star mentioned in a interview than an apology was only a start. What’s left? 50 lashings? A substantial financial donation? Jail time?

Look, they want to erase your history, then accuse you of having no culture. And don't you dare be proud of what your people have accomplished if you're not one of their protected groups.

Interesting they would show the Myrtles as the example of an antebellum home.
