WaPo: Some white people complain when they take plantation tours that talk about slavery.

I like what historian Edward Baptist did in his book “The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism.” He called the “plantations” another name—“slave labor camps”. I think that’s a perfectly fine and true name. (PS If you’ve never read this book, highly, highly recommended. Yeah, it’s economics, yeah it has charts, but you will understand so much about WHY slavery is a live issue, even down to today.)
