Ep 7. “Let It Burn: My Reaction to the Louisiana Plantation Fire”

On this episode of No Direction with the Skipp, I react to the massive fire that destroyed much of the Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana—a site with a deep, dark legacy of slavery that had been flipped into some kind of “resort” and “reflection space.” 🔥 Here's my take: It should’ve never been standing in the first place. How can a place built on the pain, blood, and backs of enslaved Black people be rebranded as peaceful? Over 100 years later, the fire finally did what history should’ve handled. This ain’t just news—it’s symbolic. I break it down through my lens, with no filter and no apology. ⚠️ Unfiltered commentary ahead. 💵 Support the show: CashApp $NoDirectionSkipp 🎧 Subscribe and hit play—you might not hear this on mainstream media, but you're gon' hear it here.
