Bill Maher Slams Ryan Reynolds for Apology over Plantation Wedding

EXCERPT:

MAHER: “Last week Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively apologized for having their wedding 8 years ago at a plantation in South Carolina. And while I’m sure we could all do better in being aware of the presence of racism including in the past, if this is the new rule, it’s going to be hard to go to a lot of places in the South. It was kind of one big plantation. And not just the South. The stock exchange is two blocks from New York’s first slave market. And in 1991, construction on a new building in lower Manhattan unearthed a massive slave burial ground from the 17th century. Among the businesses that stand over that ground today are a dance studio and a ballet academy. So people are literally dancing on those graves.”
