A whites-only community in Arkansas looking to start a franchise in Missouri

Is this group being antagonist toward other races.

It doesn't matter.

I'm allowed to point and say, "Hey, look at those racists being racist."

If people want to say what these racists are up to is okay, or Biblical, or laudable... hey, it's a free country.

I report, you decide.

Well i would not guess they are a Bible based group, as they would not allow Jesus there. Being that Jesus is Jewish.

Folks, if your first response to reading about a white supremacist group wanting to create a whites-only commune is to play a game of whataboutism, then you probably should do some deep, deep soul searching.

This is what I don’t understand. If I had those kind of views I would never say them out loud. I wouldn’t dream of posting them online where they are stored functionally forever.

 

[Larniavc]

Amish people can be Mexican and Black.

Too complicated. You can be half something different but not two different shades of different.

 

[Larniavc]

Liberals will call you racist and you can just ignore them.

Maybe act in a way that doesn’t cause liberals to call you racist?

For example I’ve never been called racist. It’s easy not to be called racist.

No. It's racist to deny the right of someone to live or work or eat somewhere based on their race. If someone is passing through, will they have signs up saying this water tap, or toilet, or bar or restaurant is for whites only?

I mean...what is so bless and do not curse difficult for you to understand about this? 'I want to live here with these people' is a galaxy away from 'I want to live here, but I don't want them living here'. 'Them' being non whites. It's the very definition of racism!

Okay. So why can't we just let them be racist, if that's how they want to be?

Is it okay to allow some people to live amongst their own preferred people, as long as it's within the law? And not disparage them for it?

Nobody appears to be attempting to stop them from being racist.

Kind of like keeping 'in the closet' because you're afraid people will ridicule you, and judge you for it, and won't forget about it.

I personally wouldn't judge people for either having racist tendencies, *or* LGBTQ affiliation. Everyone can be my friend if they want to.

Thing is, LBTQ folks aren't hurting anyone where as racists are.

Racists don't typically hurt anyone else. If they are hurting other people, then most likely, they're breaking laws.

With the topic in the OP, do you think having an all white, secluded community "hurts" other people in some way? If so, how?

So you have the same concern for the unborn child.

What an incredibly facile comment.

Does racism or being raciest include hate.

It depends on if you are white or not LOL

There has been plenty of lbtq hurt caused. You just don't think others should feel or be hurt by it.

 

[Bradskii]

We're now at a point when if a Democrat or someone on the left of the political spectrum says anything at all then some of those who class themselves as being on the right will say that what was said is therefore, automatically wrong. What was said is wrong because they are a liberal. And because of that we now have people on this forum actively supporting racism. We have reached a point where some think it's acceptable to say it out aloud. And then accuse those who are horrified by it as 'liberals'.

And good grief, this is a Christian forum for heaven's sake.

'Oh, you'll like Pete. An old friend of mine from way back. He's running a little late though. Some sort of Klan meeting I believe. Ah, there he is. Over there. The guy wearing the white sheet...'

I think what they are actively supporting is freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, and freedom of association. If some black people wanted to do the same as RTTL, I'd have no problem with it. I have no problem with what other people think or do as long as they're not hurting anyone.

 

[Tuur]

Um...

Excuse me, but how is this "Whites only" community supposed to even exist? If I recall correctly, you can't refuse to sell property to a person based on race. So even if a group buys land only for its members, legally it would be impossible to forbid the sale of that land to someone of another race.

That is just it.....people are getting to the point they want to be left alone. Tired of all the fussing, and accusations over everything. Police protection, education for their children, drug addicts laying on sidewalks on and on it goes. Just leave em to how they want to live.

You can refuse to sell property.

My understanding is that the modern KKK is mostly non-violent, and simply performs "peaceful protests".

...would you say you hate *everyone* in the KKK?
