GUEST ARRIVES AT AIRBNB IN THE SOUTH. THEY CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT GREETS THEM
In the video, Erica (@tasteofmelanin) shows decorations in an Airbnb that include cotton wreaths, cotton bouquets, cotton branches on a wall with monkey plushies and monkey plushies dangling down on a white flower tree.
To viewers, the imagery of cotton combined with the monkeys is reminiscent of the lynchings of African American people in the American South.
Viewers are shocked “Report to Airbnb IMMEDIATELY,” one comment read.“THE MONKEYS?!” another user wrote.
