So what?
@roamer_1

So I proved my point.

What point? That gilded lilies can't survive in rural parts? I already said as much. Or are we just in agreement?

Sounds like communal living and communism  to me.  It won't work. They can vision all they want.

Sounds like Jonestown without the Kool-Aid.

That is for articles of incorporation as a city. Incorporation is not necessary. I can name you several around here that are towns, that offer services, that are not incorporated. Are not bonafied. Yet they are on the maps.

What that seems to boil down to is the ability to adjudicate and enforce, and little more.

The big Black Kahuna is Whistling Dixie, but she wants it to be a city.  A big ole black only city in  the middle of the South where good times are not forgotten.  Black (city) is beautiful.  Once you go black (city) you never go back.

Seems to me that folks self segregate anyway. I have no problem with that. Seems folks have a freedom to associate.

   They are eventually gonna need some protection, from themselves.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

They know. Oprah created an exclusive upscale housing development in the middle of NC back in the 70's,and ownership was restricted to black people. I can't remember where it is now,but it was in one of the poorer counties with a large,and maybe even majority black population.

And let's be plain about this,these were not middle-class homes. They were mansions on large lots with gated security.
...

Oprah graduated from high school in 1972 and was working in local TV in Nashville and Baltimore before moving to Chicago in 1983 to take over a local TV talkshow that took off in 1984. So I doubt she had the means to do what you attribute to her in the 1970s when she would have been in her early-mid 20s just starting out in TV.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Didn't the blacks try that back in the days after the civil war?  I think it was called "Liberia".  And it was supposed to be their "free space" and utopia....with very dire results.   Can't wait to see how this version turns out.    :pop41:

The main difference here is... they can always count on the Democrats on the left to bail them out when they fail.  (they think)

I sure as hell don't. It's their land, they can do what they want with it. Just like the Aryans can.

As long as they are peaceable folks and break no laws, more power to em.

 :amen:  If they purchased the land, then it's their land and let them do what the heck they want; hopefully they'll farm it and be self-sustaining. 

Agreed.  If they are peaceful and don't break any laws -- then more power to them!!!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I really,really,really hope some actual rednecks get together and file a racial discrimination lawsuit against them for barring whites from buying or living there.
I am fairly certain that such a suit, would be unconstitutional.

Not  in a town, a  county, a state, a gated private community.

The  relevant laws date to the 1960s.

That's funny/odd.   And here I thought it is now unconstitutional .... or unlawful.... for anyone to discriminate against anyone on the basis of race or skin color.   When blacks start segregating and keeping white people out... isn't that just as bad as the reverse... ie whites segregating and discriminating against blacks and keeping black people out?   So confused.....

The real problem with this is when one or more of the families want out. Then what?

It is illegal now, based on legislation in 1964 and 1965.

CC&Rs with racial ownership restrictions were ruled unconstitutional decades ago. They remain in the deeds of some properties because getting them removed from the deeds would cost $$, but such CC&Rs are unenforceable and almost no one would try to enforce them (I assume there is someone "out there" moronic enough to try, which is why I said "almost").

This just seems outlandish to me for many reasons but most importantly..

In my lifetime there were areas in cities and towns where the black community congregated. Those residents fought to get out of those areas. So now they will recreate the situation? smh.

I will confess, I didn't read the full article, shame on me. But is this supposed to be a restricted Martha's Garden for black people? Will they also impose income levels? That should work really well. :thud:
