This is exactly how I feel whenever I hear someone has visited one of those places, and they are like “yeah but what a beautiful house it was” 😑
I mean now it’s gone it’s just easier to deny it ever happened because there’s less physical evidence. It’s literally why the German death camps still exist, they know if you plow it all under people are going to have a much much easier time saying it never happened.
Except these plantations are treated as tourist attractions where the hovels enslaved folk were forced to live in are referred to as “cottages” and stupidly fancy weddings can be hosted. They aren’t shown as stark reminders of how horrible humans can be.

So are the death camps.

To my knowledge the slave quarters haven’t been modified. The cottages are not former slave quarters, the roof height alone should make that fairly evident.

This one was, the state should have taken it over after buyout and made a museum.
This was used as a wedding venue.
That’s not exactly a stark reminder ….
And before that it was a museum, just not a particularly successful one.
It is or no one would care it’s burnt down.
Yes that’s why folks are upset their “HeRiTAge” burnt down
I don’t know anyone who’s actually said that, I’m sure racists are crying but I only hear that said offhandedly here like it somehow defeats the point that history needs monuments not because they make us comfortable but often times specifically because they make us uncomfortable.
It does suck that neat architecture is associated with something so terrible. Maybe we can compromise by making a kindling stacking layout that looks like it?
Turn 'em into proper museums.
If you have a problem with the majestic burning down of slave plantations, then you have a problem with me. And I suggest you let that marinate.
Figure it out
Give yer balls a tug, ya titfucker!
Don’t get captured
