WATCH THIS. He gets it right
Nottoway Plantation: the so-called βWhite Castleβ, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.
We donβt need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

            I deleted because it was brought to my attention that sheβs funneled millions into an anti-trans campaign. Am I not allowed to recognize that?
