re: Nottoway Plantation on fire

LPB had a nice interview with the owner recently

My heart goes out to this fella. He definitely seems passionate about the property and what it could’ve been. Kind of hard to watch in light of the destruction.

He seems so sincere and passionate. It would have been so great for White Castle and the Parish if he pulled off his plans and that would be good for all races.

I remember that explosion. The force knocked a clock off our home's wall in Gardere, almost 10 miles away.

Yep, did a little damage. Very fortunate to be a holiday, could have been so much worse!

Cry more pussy bitch..

Local water supply of 1,500 gpm max can't handle a sprinkler system. Just hope no one flushes their toilet or takes a shower. Pointless to install one.

if you were to build fire protection for that building today, you would probably be looking for 3,000 to 3,500 GPM (gallons per minute), almost double of what that had.

---

You would build a large pond or small lake on the property that can be a static water source in an emergency easily accessible to firefighters so supplement the sprinklers.

In White Castle, Louisiana, approximately 95% of the population identifies as Black or African American. The remaining population is made up of White (4.39%)

Those poor, pitiful 4.39%.

But the truth is that building should have been burned to ashes during the civil wars.

What the ever living frick?

News flash, buildings are inanimate objects. They have no control on what happens. They are not guilty or innocent. There's a reason we don't arrest a house and take it to trial when bad things happen in it.




Should we burn down the Myrtle's too?

In fact, let's burn down every last thing that offends anyone. Let's just raze this whole fricking world to the ground and you can worship the fricking ashes.


You cannot see past the end of your nose. This has fricked over the working class in that community, ones that will suffer long after you have forgotten about it and moved on to celebrating the next outrage.

You're pathetic.

[quote]JUST IN: Manpower requested back to Nottoway Plantation for some rekindling of the massive fire. It is normal for fires of this magnitude to rekindle from hot spots.

it's a proven fact that In nola 40% of free blacks were slave owners, I never see that on Facebook tho

And since Nottoway is in Iberville, here is another interesting fact. The wealthiest black slave owner in Louisiana was from Iberville. I will find the info and link it.

His name was Antoine Dubuclet.

quote:

---

Dubuclet was born in Iberville Parish near Baton Rouge. He was the son of Antoine Dubuclet Sr. and Marie Felecite Gray. Both were free blacks; his father was part owner of Cedar Grove, a successful sugar plantation he inherited from his parents, Joseph Antoine Dubuclet and Rosie Belly. Upon his father's death, his mother moved to New Orleans with her younger children; Dubuclet took over his father's responsibilities and assisted in managing the plantation and enslaving more than seventy people. In 1834, the plantation was divided between Dubuclet and his siblings.[1][2]
