I read about this the other day. They are not moving to shut them down - they will no longer allow them to advertise them as "plantation weddings" or "antebellum weddings" -- so in essence - they will still be happening.

What kills me is the man who built a Plantation home venue - getting mad about people coming after it. I want them all shutdown -- and made museums.

But, we have to either create policy or purchase them and make the venue non-profit ran.

Here is a great podcast about White people and the word Plantation - of course they playing dumb: 1 | When White People Say Plantation

Demonic. Taking pictures at a Plantation and using the cabins/shacks the enslaved lived in as photo props.

Above the fray.

The news report said that "the Zola site is removing plantation vendors / venues completely".

I think eventually the word plantation will rightfully have the stigma (re)attached to it. People who are on the fence will think twice about having their ceremonies there. Those who don't care will continue doing it.

The point is to just combat the "gone with the wind" propaganda associated with plantations

Good for Zola - but the others are just making them stop using "Plantation" Antebellum" when advertising on their platforms.

Here are two of the largest "Plantation wedding" venues -- as you see-- they aint stopping shyt.

Personally I feel like people can have their weddings anywhere they choose. But I would think BLACK PEOPLE should know better than to plan their weddings there or attend weddings there.
