I'm pretty sure most of those people "planking" are not doing it to mock slavery and the condition in which the slaves were brought to the West in the middle passage.
  
Same can be said about people using the N word no?

if you believe that planking got its origins from the slave trade my god you are taking it too far.

People are crazy, if I start a fad of putting my hand up and just standing there with my hand up (call in handing) and it catches on, someone would attribute it to starting in the slave trade....makes no sense
