Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is feeling the wrath of the Twitter ratio after he cheered the removal of “master bedroom” from Minnesota real estate listings, claiming that “many” people associate the term with slavery.
“Words MATTER!” Crump tweeted Monday afternoon. “Good to see Minnesota phasing out the use of ‘master bedroom’ in real estate listings. Many associate it with slavery, a repetitive reminder of plantation life. Together, we can create more inclusive, aware communities!”
Crump was referring to an article last week by the Star Tribune that said “master” is increasingly being replaced by “primary” or “main” in real estate listings in Minnesota amid a national reckoning on race. Other terms, like “man cave” or “mother-in-law suite,” are also being switched out with more gender-neutral language like “den” and “in-law suite,” the report said.
Crump, who has represented the families in multiple high-profile cases such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and George Floyd, received a wave of ridicule for his tweet.
