It’s insane how in denial about bigotry a big chunk of the population of.

This is a very important thing to note. A friend posted this article on her faceplant wall:

The conservative whipepo out there are very fragile, almost snowflake like.

Some white people don’t want to hear about slavery at plantations built by slaves

“It was just not what we expected.”

“I was depressed by the time I left.”

” … the tour was more of a scolding of the old South.”

“The brief mentions of the former owners were defamatory.”

“Would not recommend.”

These are a few of the apparently negative reviews posted online about guided tours of Southern plantations, some of which went viral Thursday after former Colorado congressional candidate Saira Rao tweeted a screenshot of one.

reverse racism:

“I felt [the African American tour guide] embellished her presentation and was racist towards me as a white person,” another McLeod visitor

And, the chaser/hammer to drive home the still present bigotry that is pervasive in our culture:

For those who may prefer a fuzzier, less accurate portrayal of plantation life, “Gone with the Wind” is streaming on Amazon and iTunes for $3.99 — a low price but still higher than the average slave’s wage, which was $0.
