All white bricks
The “white gold” that built America
Okay — Gucci meant something completely different. But you get it!
Hey there, Brunchers. I’m back — vacation was great, and I’ve got the tan lines to prove it. Did you watch the video? That parish president is something, ain’t he? But unfortunately, that’s a whole lotta white folks' mentality when it comes to slavery in America.
So, Nottoway burned down. And to be honest? I’m indifferent about it.
Now wait! Before you get your undies in a bunch, let me explain. Sure, the main house is burnt to a crisp. However, Nottoway LLC owns and operates about 13 businesses across Louisiana. So yeah, it’s great that the building is gone — but the family? The family is still making money off the backs of Black folks, 300-some years later.
And you know what, suge? There are many families just like this one, dotting the map across Louisiana, still profiting off wealth they didn’t earn — not in the slightest.
