"Would You Ever Want to Go on a Tour of a Plantation???"
our family reunion was supposed to be in Charleston this weekend. and even before all the Charleston shit popped off, things kinda fell apart. but a few people still went and they just took a plantation tour. am i the only one who never wants to set foot on a plantation in my life? i get the premise of the whole thing...really i do. maybe seeing it is different, but i can't think of anything that i would feel except rage and sadness.
she took her 11 and 9 yeah old daughters as well to...."see the destruction of our people and show why we should always be grateful..."
and i kind of get it. its history of the most forgettable and unfortunate nature. but something about that history being celebrated and kept up and profitable and toured makes me sick. i don't find them historically relevant, i find them historically sickening. is it just me? --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.
