Anything related to a plantation is racist?

The head of the Alabama NAACP doesn't want Mobile's Azalea Trail Maids to participate in Inauguration Day, claiming the group reminds him of slavery.

"These are not just regular costumes.  These are the costumes that remind someone of the plantation," claims Edward Vaughn.

Ridiculous. There are so many problems facing the African American community, and this is what the NAACP focuses upon.

Maybe this photo does conjure up images of racism to some. To others, I don't think so.

I'm not from the South, but this photo reminds me of Southern belle culture. Maybe that's my ignorance, but it certainly doesn't remind me of racism.
