‘Slave cabin’ Airbnb nixed

-

An Airbnb listing in Greenville, Miss., advertised as a “slave cabin” has been removed from the site following backlash on social media.

Airbnb apologized after a TikTok video went viral criticizin­g the descriptio­n of the bed and breakfast marketed as an “1830s slave cabin.”

“How is this okay in somebody’s mind to rent this out? A place where human beings were kept as slaves?” Wynton Yates, a black lawyer from New Orleans, asked online.
