Have you been to Africa?

I 100% agree.
But getting hitched at plantation, despite it's aesthetics and serenity, doesn't transcend what it ultimately represents: Stagnation.
I think this shouldn't be a hard concept for most red white and blue Americans to grasp

I should say that my statement you quoted was satirical because it's a norm TD.com response if slmeone bitches about the atrocities of slavery.

Should I have not visited it or not? Are you going to flip this into the horrors of colonialism 
?

No I think you need some perspective is all. Maybe if you visited where you may have had to grow up you would quit being so miserable about the past and realize you have better opportunities than most. Get over slavery man.

I'm over it and I'm fine. I'm more so point out the hypocrisy of the pro-get hitched on a plantation-side. It's a 2 way street,
So why aren't others over it? You can't detach a plantation from slavery. Those symbols go hand in hand. Hand in hand to about everyone else in the ever progressing world.

Why should we detach ourselves from our history? Just because our ancestors were wrong? Were they perceived as wrong at the time?
Don't people visit the pyramids? Do they represent slavery to you?

My first marriage occurred at a plantation. Had nothing to do with anything racist and in fact until today it never even crossed my mind that it could be.
That's because it wasn't.

Well the way I see it is a large portion of today's society use the past as a crutch. If they choose, because it is a choice, to continue to use the past as a crutch into fooling them selves out of prosperity then I will not alter my life because of their delicate sensibilities. Hence, I will get married at a plantation and in fact I'll be visiting one next weekend. You can't pick and choose when progression is real or not.

What wrong with getting married somewhere that once upon a time had slaves?
I went to a plantation wedding once that, probably because of location, almost the entire waitstaff was black. Was kind of funny.

What stagnation? The plantation system created such an accumulation of wealth that the world had never seen before. There were more millionaires in Natchez, MS than anywhere else in the world, period. Just because the south didn't build factories didn't mean they weren't productive and expanding economically.
Tha plantation system existed because the south had a huge labor shortage. At the time, the work required to harvest and plant the cash crops like cotton, sugar cane, and rice was very labor intensive, and there simply weren't that many people around to do the work. The north had all of the poor masses of Europe to work as wage slaves in its factories while the south purchased slaves to work its farms.
An autrocity, certainly chattel slavery was such, but stagnation, absolutely not.

Perhaps the problem doesn't lie in those that are trying to move away from those ugly portions of history
A lot of blacks were slaves to cotton picking. The cotton industry today grew from the slavery of blacks. So, take your cotton garments now and burn them. Evil relics they are. I hope you still have clothes afterwards you hypocrite.

Speaking of society progressing you think of people could just focus on the things that make them happy instead of what makes other people happy.
I could not give a frick less what you do, what you spend your time on, where you have a wedding or what you choose to sing on a private freaking bus ........I don't care.
Why do you?
Seriously why the frick do you care? Is your and your ilks life that pathetic and jealousy filled?

Did you know that the President of the United States of America lives in a house that was built using slave labor?
