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

[ozso]

There are lots of cities that still have "black sides of town" since the Jim Crow era.

There's North Omaha, South Chicago, North Tulsa, and SE Dallas, for instance.

What point do you think you're making?

That there's lots of areas in the US that are inhabited by a single race or group of people. That for whatever reason they exist today, and not uncommon.

 

[ozso]

And we don't respect the Crips, either, as a good, moral, and righteous group of folk.

It seems like the attitude is that 'us only and no one else lives here' is strictly a white supremacist thing.

what? white people cannot conduct mostly peaceful protests?

Most of the people in a Crips neighborhood are not Crips.

 

[ozso]

Most of the people in a Crips neighborhood are not Crips.

Okay, it's a white people only thing. Everyone else accepts everyone else with open arms.

Are white neighborhoods all kkk?

 

[Hans Blaster]

Gosh, I don't know. Maybe it's discrimination against people because of their 'race' or ethnic background. You know, like 'Whites Only. No Blacks Allowed'. But I'll have to check that.

In their "official pronouncements" they don't state it like that, but every bit of their media interactions are all straight up "We just want a place for white* people like us." Their purpose is quite clear. (I looked at their site, and without filling out the application, [which I ain't going to do] what would qualify or disqualify anyone from joining the "member organization".)

*whatever they 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?

Of course racists hurt other people. I can’t can’t believe you are claiming racist doesn’t hurt people. To take an extreme example: lynching.

The fact that it’s breaking the law is semantic.

 

[Larniavc]

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

How does being a lesbian (for example) hurt?

 

[Larniavc]

I think what they are actively supporting is freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, and freedom of association.

That’s all true. But it doesn’t stop it being racism. Attending the NAMBLA convention on effective grooming strategies convention doesn’t stop it being paedophillia.

Reminds me of the sign on a boys fort in the Little Rascals that said: "No Girlƨ Allowed".

You are defending the KKK. You realize this, correct?

 

[RDKirk]

I haven't said anything about the KKK.

No. My point is that everyone recognizes the Crips as a criminal gang...

...and it's you who are making a favorable comparison of those white people with an infamous criminal gang.

 

[HIM]

I am not a racist. But to say people do not have the right to be so is as ignorant as being racist.

 

[ozso]

I just randomly chose a group that maintains territory. You can replace Crips with any other group you want. Even if holes can be poked in the analogy, the obvious point is that it's not just one group that sets up "us only" or "only those whom we allow" territories.

It is a poor place.

Mound Bayou MS

Median household income: $23,194 in 2023, well below Mississippi's average (~ $54,900) and the U.S. average

Poverty rate: a substantial 44.5% of residents live below the poverty line—more than double the state average (~19%)

You do realize black kkk was supported don't you?

 

[ralliann]

I haven't said anything about the KKK.

They are a criminal gang just like the crips.

I don't defend the KKK, nor do I support them, but for factual information's sake, let's note that there hasn't been a KKK lynching in over 43 years now.

AI Overview:

Here are the last three KKK lynchings based on available information:

• March 21, 1981: Michael Donald, 19, was lynched by KKK members in Mobile, Alabama. His murder is sometimes referred to as the last documented lynching in America.
• June 21, 1964: Civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner were abducted, tortured, and murdered by KKK members near Philadelphia, Mississippi. Their bodies were found on August 4, 1964.
• 1955: Emmett Till, 14, was lynched in Mississippi. This case is considered the last classic lynching recorded by the Tuskegee Institute.
