Will Liberals Stand for the “Right” to Plantation Weddings?

It seems that Jordan A. Maney is not as committed to “diversity” and “love” as she would have us believe. Recently, Ms. Maney, the black owner of a San Antonio event planning business, “All The Days Event Co.,” got a bit upset when she was asked to plan the wedding for a couple whose chosen venue contained the word “plantation.” ...

As ATTN also notes, Maney also told the inquiring customer on the receiving end of her discrimination, “You’re having a wedding at a grave-site essentially. How are you going to laugh and celebrate on so many people’s blood, and sweat, and suffering?” Of course, built in 2011, strictly for the purpose of hosting weddings, Kendall Plantation has never had anything to do with slavery. Yet, like many who are so easily offended in these sensitive times, the mere mention of “plantation” was enough to rile Ms. Maney.

Furthermore, after rejecting her plantation client, Maney went to her Facebook page, and in a post that is no longer available, declared (yes, in all caps): “DON’T CALL MY BLACK-OWNED BUSINESS ASKING ME TO PLAN YOUR PLANTATION WEDDING.”

Now imagine for a moment the tables were turned.

That’s from brain scratch

8 years ago I almost bought a plantation house with slave cabins and 30 acres in Pasquo area of Williamson county Tn

Owner wanted to much over what he’d paid at auction

In Maine it’s a districting term like township

Not a working farm like the usual use of the term

Big farms in the south are still mostly called plantations

Dockery Comes to mind...famous for blues

Since MAine split from Massachusetts after Massachusetts quit slavery you could argue as a state Maine never had slaves

Abundant virtue signaling upon request

How nice

[wardaddy]

We lost the right you suggest after lunch counters my man

Sorry to have to tell ya

“State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations”

I guess that means there are no black wedding planners working there since the entire state is a “gravesite”, huh??? /s

[jimfree]

We should all have the right to say no. But, bake the effing cake!

What the heck are Plantation Weddings?

Well, when you own back yard isn't big enough, your living room can't hold more than six comfortably and twelve if everyone stands, and you really don't have time to pick up the dirty socks ....

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"There are several plantations in Maine that have and never had even the slightest thing to do with slavery or black people."

Well, Maine is making up for it in "spades". You all have enough Somolians now to staff a couple hundred plantations. Unfortunately the invaders already have a gig on the welfare plantation.

What the heck are Plantation Weddings?
*************
Same as Beach Weddings or any other “location” wedding ,, there used to be a plantation house in my area “Townsends Plantation” that used to do a wedding business .. got bought out and the buyer changed the name ,, likely because of the same illogical aversion to the name..

Ms. Maney is not just parading her hatred & resentment of affluent potential white clients, who want to capture a bit of old southern romance. Her tirade is even more insulting to the hundreds of thousands of her race who exhibited the characteristics--the once honored characteristics of the "loyal & faithful" servants of the Bible, in an earlier era. She is either ignorant or too eaten up with corrosive hatred to reach a rational conclusion.

For anyone not eaten up with hatred for the sake of hatred, consider Booker T. Washington, the greatest of America's former slaves', testimony on the actual race relations during the era of the great plantations Ms. Maney so despises:

Booker T. Washington's Witness to the Old South.

No Ms. Maney, no one is trying to revive the era of plantation slavery--except perhaps those Leftwing Democrats, who have foisted policies that make so many poor people today dependent upon a central government, to which they are very analogous to slaves, except that slaves actually did productive work. But the rest of us do not view a common history with the hatred that drives you, Ms. Maney. You are a credit neither to your race nor to the level of education in contemporary America.
