A Black attorney has exposed an Airbnb listing of an 1830 slave cabin marketed as a bed and breakfast, which people have been eagerly renting and staying in.

TikTok user @lawyerwynton, whose real name is Wynton Yates, posted a video to his account in which he he showed the listing and voiced his opinions on it.

“This is not okay in the least bit,” Yates says in the now-viral video, “and I know there’s gonna be somebody that says ‘oh you’re looking for controversy where it doesn’t exist.’ No, this is an 1830s slave cabin that is up on Airbnb as a bed and breakfast. How do I know that this is slave quarters other than just using my eyes and looking at it? Well, they say it in the listing.”

The Panther Burn Cottage is situated on the property of the Panther Burn Plantation in Panther Burn, Mississippi.

Yates proceeds to read reviews posted on the listing by people who have stayed there:

“We stayed in the sharecropper cabin and ate in the main house.”

“Enjoyed everything about our stay the cottage. The history, the tour, the breakfast and all was great.”

Other reviews highlighted by Yates describe the controversial accommodations as “historic“, “elegant“, “delightful“, and “cool.”

Yates points out that though some might assume the cabin could potentially provide insight into how African Americans lived during slavery, that is neither the case nor the intent behind it.

Decorated and furnished, featuring modern comforts and amenities such as running water, lighting, and a clawfoot bathtub, it in no way depicts the harsh realities of the lives enslaved people lived.

“The history of slavery in this country is constantly denied and now it’s being mocked by being turned into a luxurious vacation spot,” concludes Yates.

The listing has since been taken down, but Airbnb remains in the hot seat, with many outraged that they would allow such a thing on their platform in the first place. In many instances, the homestay and vacation rental company has been called out for the racial discrimination that exists on their platform. Though Airbnb has taken measures to combat this, when it comes to racial sensitivity, it is obvious the company has a long way to go.

Scraping the smelly sargassum seaweed off some beaches on Mexico’s resort-studded Caribbean coast has become not only a nightmare, but possibly a health threat, for the workers doing it — with the quantities washing ashore this year seemingly mountains not mounds.

When the cruise industry in July 2021 returned from the shutdown, imposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from U.S. ports, I was one of the 800 or so passengers on the first sailing of Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. Rules settled in fairly quickly thereafter, with the cruise line -- as well as rivals Carnival Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line -- requiring vaccinations for any passengers aged 12 and older as well as negative covid tests taken no more than two days before sailings. In reality, everyone on board, aside from kids under 12, was both vaccinated and tested, and the entire cruise industry stepped up its already robust cleaning procedures while also improving air filtration.

Mark Farmer’s two-week river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest, Hungary, got off to a bad start. For the first four days, there were no luxurious dinners overlooking the Rhine River or views from the top-deck balcony room that he and his wife had booked. In fact, there was no boat at all. He and the other 150 or so passengers were shuttled around the Netherlands and Germany on buses, queuing up in long lines for bathrooms at highway rest stops and cramming into small restaurants. “We were not ha
