Am I the only one who had absolutely no idea that "and Providence Plantations" was a part of their official State name?
You are not!
I knew, but it is one of those "civil rights" issues in which you really have to want it to think there is a problem.
You don't need slaves to have a plantation. This is the kind of "angry Black issue" that makes me roll my eyes at "Black leaders". Who cares? Its a part of the states history.
It's like people who think that failure to pass the Voting Rights Act, would mean black people can't vote anymore.
