Here's your latest installment of "everything is racist," courtesy of the New York Times.
The paper's "Race Related" section is described as "a weekly newsletter focused on race, identity and culture," and for my sins, I recently subscribed to it. This morning, an email arrived from "Race Related," attaching a story about gentrification in the historically black South Park neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina.
According to the article's author, Emily Badger [emphasis added throughout]:
"A few new homes rise high above the modest, single-story properties around them. Those houses, some longtime residents lament, feel so large that they evoke plantation homes, complete with second-story porches an overseer might use to keep an eye on the black residents nearby."

He has a spaniel!
They haven’t seen Nancy Pelosi’s plantation home (one among many). One reason she wants open borders, so she can keep her crops picked.
I know a lot of black homeowners who love seeing white gentrification.
I remember dinosaurs and the earliest stars.
White liberals love to make up stuff about black people.
“...Remind Black Residents of ...Plantation Houses...”
That would make those black residents about what...150-odd years old? Darn good memories for that age.
Badgers? We don’t need no stinkin’ Badgers!

Of course. A good dog was always there to track any run aways.....
All of us descended from Civil War Union soldiers who died or were wounded in battle need to SUE ALL BLACKS.
A spaniel, not a hound. The spaniel would chase a bird and wag its tail at everyone.
I always thought the upstairs porch was so you could duck outside for a smoke or some fresh air.
You could also sleep out there when it’s really hot.
Racism schmacism.
Enough already.
Why are you trying to start an argument with me. It’s just a meme?? Who Cares?
That’s what they look like. Shotgun houses or some kind of rowhouse with an upstairs balcony.
Spaniels are cute.
I think Scarlett O’Hara had skirts wider than those modern dat “plantation” houses.
They just make stuff up - the more outrageous the better.
Last year, I saw some online bickering over a liquor brand name - Plantation rum. The usual outrage - and even when it was pointed out that it was entirely owned by Maison Ferrand, a French boutique distilling and blending corporation - that didn't matter one bit to the perpetually offended.
If everything u=is racist, then nothing is racist.
Coming soon to Everytown, USA, an official racial grievance committee.
Lets just all cut the pretense. I’m racist, you’re racist. Everyone is racist. “Good morning you racist!’’. Or “Welcome to IHOP, I’m your waitress Wendy and I’m a racist. Can I take your order you racist?’’
Muttering to myself...”Hmmm, I don’t think I’m racist.”
Leftist conclusion...”Thinking you aren’t a racist is proof you are a racist.”
