No on is forcing you to, but why deprive others of the option?

That has to be sarcasm

The Irish had it hard, no doubt that.
I'm making these arguments and detaching my race from this.
I don't understand plantation fetish. Like I said, I don't see people getting married at auschwitz

I don't understand why someone would.
That's why I'm asking people that would, why they would

Are people getting married at ground zero? (I'm sure someone has)

My mom and dad got married at a plantation. It was kind of awkward, since my dad is black. My mom realized how off this felt, and immediately sold my dad to some guy named Winston. Winston is a good man. He makes a nice pitcher of sweet tea and is easy on the whip.

Thats the thing. These people do not give a single frick about the history IMO.
You are giving these people far too much credit.
The female just sees it, thinks it looks nice, schedules, the rest is a blur because she DOES NOT GAF, because she's getting married.

Its not that at all. There were plantations that actually treated their slaves very humane relative to the times.
Again though, they do not think about that, because they are living in the NOW. Even you dont have a clue as to what "awful and despicable side of human nature" went on besides what you read in books, which is the only place ANYONE can find out about it.
And if thats how you want to play it, then why not just burn down and demolish Columbine High School? Or burn down and demolish Sandy Hook elementary?

They almost always serve the function of a national landmark/museum, but why not bring in a little extra industry by adding the function of wedding place too? Seems harmless, and 9/10, they dont even go inside the house, but only care for the backdrop, and the backdrop alone.

They make beautiful and romantic settings. However, the people that get married at plantataions are not constantly butthurt and looking for reasons to be upset.

It's not that hard to figure out.

Disturbing wedding trend: Getting married at a plantation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, if you want to take it a step deeper; plantations are a symbol of early America wealth, but are also a symbol of our stagnation in becoming a full democracy of the people. I don't understand why some people are so caught up with that ugly period in american history. Plantations ultimately represent a lack of progress, and relics of the past that we are working hard towards mending.

Wait I think I know what you mean..I hope you're joking
Those other incidents are minor incomparison to societal moral failings such as the holocaust and slavery.
I largely get it; people don't think twice about it. i largelt see this as an issue where some folks can by in large not think twice about their actions

plantations are beautiful and have deep family roots in the south. auschwitz and cemeteries ... not so much.
slavery came from europe originally and was in all the colonies. it just so happened southern economies which were built on the same models depended on more manual labor than the north. it's easy to damn something when your wealth, livelihood, and all you knew you're entire life didn't depend on it. then the government says no you can't do that without given a viable solution or replacement.
it wasn't about slavery. it was about state rights. something we still struggle with today. one centralize government can't govern a large group of citizens in different climates and economies.
i am not pro slavery, but i am pro state rights.
today we can equate this to health care. i can go on... especially since i've been drinking. but i'm tired of proof reading.

I guess that means idolizing the a stagnant democracy and the enslavement of uour fellow citizen. :/
I would hope that in 2015, that that "elitism" would be the elitism that our wealthy want to replication.
