If I had a nickel for every repost on this sub, I'd have enough money to triple the size of my plantation!
Do you think it's appropriate to joke about having slaves?
Calm down man, it's just a joke. I don't actually own a plantation.
Jokes can still perpetuate racism and violence toward minorities. Racism comes in all kinds of shapes, and jokes like that only encourage it. You should read about what it was like living on a plantation before making jokes about owning slaves.
You should just lighten up.
How would you like it if other white people assuming you were British origin called you a slave? Colonial plantations were horrible for the people who lived on them and had to work the fields with back breaking labor.
