They’re paying people to remove all spices from food
Lol, Arkansas. It’ll implode within a year after someon in leadership finds out his sister’s baby isnt his.
So, when someone gets divorced in Arkansas, are they still siblings?
Only if they were born in Mississippi or Louisiana.
TIL being gay gets your white card revoked
When my husband and I travel through certain towns in Northwest AR, one of us takes our matching wedding rings off, and we’re brothers, in case the car breaks down - you want to plan your story ahead.
That is sad that you have to do that to feel safe.
Imagine Traveling While Black™, and wondering if it’s safe to even stop for food or gas in whatever tiny little area you’re in.
It’s a lot harder to take off skin than it is a ring.
Now imagine you’re the first ever black female MP in the UK, who points out just what you’ve stated, and you get kicked out of your party for it.
Oh, wait, silly me, you don’t have to imagine. That happened.
MP Diane Abbott has said it “is obvious this Labour leadership wants me out” after the party suspended her for a second time over comments she made about racism.
Labour has launched an investigation into Abbott’s defence of a 2023 letter to a newspaper in which she said people of colour experienced racism “all their lives”, which was different from the “prejudice” experienced by Jewish people, Irish people and Travellers.
She apologised for those remarks at the time following criticism from Jewish and Traveller groups and was readmitted to the party after a lengthy suspension.
Asked by the BBC’s James Naughtie if she looked back on the whole incident with regret, she said: “No, not at all.”
In a brief statement issued to BBC Newsnight, Abbott said: “My comments in the interview with James Naughtie were factually correct, as any fair-minded person would accept.”
I am Trans I am well aware of the struggles.
This reminds me - repulsively - of what Blacks went through in the mid-20th century. I’m sorry for you.
(And as an aside, “Lovecraft Country” by Matt Ruff is a fantastic supernatural horror set during Jim Crow laws.)
I’m both sad that you have to think that way, but also impressed by the clever thinking; just a ring off and a quick line, and suddenly you are completely different entities in the minds of some other party. Kinda makes ya think how much we construct of someone’s identity off of so little information.
Sounds like being gay in the 21st century is the new Italian or Irish.
TODAY?
That shit applies to all colors, except for the rainbow.
You didn’t know this? I thought this applied to anybody not cis gendered.
most gay folks are cis …
Oh my bad. I was confused.
Or any white folks who disagree with bigotry, based on my experience being a straight white guy who doesn’t understand why what colour your skin is, or who you love makes you somehow less human.

They’re so pissed they couldn’t herd other people they had to resort to herding themselves.
I can’t even imagine what it must be like to be that frightened and insecure.
that’s one thing I never truly understood about grievance culture — they are the one group of people who can ignore all this and just piss away the days doing whatever they want, whenever they want to, and instead, they spend their lives destroying their bodies with cortisol.
if I had the confidence of a mediocre white man, I’d be famous.
My assumption is simply that they’re such complete losers - such an awful combination of ignorant, angry and stupid - that being white and heterosexual are literally the only things they have going for them - that they have nothing of any actual value to offer to anyone.
And that’s why they rage against “DEI” and “woke” and “race theory” and so on - because if they were to lose the built-in cachet that comes from being white and heterosexual, they’d have nothing at all.
Because yes - if they had anything at all of any value to offer anyone, they could focus on that instead, and pursue it with the built-in advantages of being white and heterosexual. That they don’t pretty strongly indicates that they can’t.
my personal experience agrees. I think this is what is powering Qanon as well — a deep, wrestling anxiety over the thought that they might have enabled really terrible things happening around them.
Like, for God’s sake, this entire thing started with John Podesta supposedly emailing someone about a “cheese pizza,” which is a term that is probably, unfortunately, deeply familiar to anyone who had precocious levels of Internet access in the early 2000s.
Basically, it is not a code word that a 70 year old man would use in 2014, in public email, on the campaign trail. In fact, he was ordering, literally, a fucking pizza for his staff.
And meanwhile, their hero president is a rapist who was best friends with and a regular guest of the most high profile child sex abuser and procurer in American history.
I would think that much cognitive dissonance would actually be painful.
Maybe it is, and that helps explain their constant misdirected seething rage.
I imagine it’s quite frightening
And insecure
I saw an interview with an ex white supremacist. He said most who join will leave, as it’s mainly a big sausage fest.
It’s nice all these racist homophobe men are all going to live together in the woods, free from women, having fun with their all male (but certainly not gay!) orgies.
Certainly cleans up society a bit :) I wish all nazis would start to live together, isolated from the rest of the world.
That can’t be legal.
Not that it would matter under the current administration…
It is illegal and literally goes against the Civil Rights Act. I’d say someone should sue but I have a feeling that it won’t hold up in today’s SCOTUS, which may actually be their plan.
Make them say it out loud. I want to hear all the bigots sing their approval full throated so I know who they are.
its already being said out loud, openly.
They definitely don’t care anymore since they feel there are no real consequences to their actions.
Until they are made to fear for their lives, this will only get worse
SCOTUS is full of DEI hires like that Italian, that black guy, and the drunk.
Isn’t there a woman in there too somewhere?
SCOTUS is conservative, not partisan. They’ve made dozens of surprising, dare I say woke, decisions the last couple of years. I’m certain they would smack this down, and likely never hear it by supporting a lower court who already quashed it.
No one seems to notice, but they do that a lot. They simply refuse to here a case and the vote against is often unanimous, or maybe only those assholes Thomas and Alito holding out.
They’ve made many others that are blatantly rewriting the letter of the law to mean someone completely different just to give power to their despot
Yeah, they’re definitely corrupt but the legal world is a weird one in which they sometimes do the right thing for legal reasons.
They’ve ruled against Trump and made so many surprisingly sane decisions many times. It was so weird I started a favorites folder. (That’s all I could capture with a screen shot.)
After they kicked Roe vs. Wade, yeah, seemed to get worse. But they owe Trump nothing. They have zero fear of him. FFS, Trump can’t fire the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, even though it’s well within his rights and he hates the fucker. Think he’ll openly fuck with SCOTUS?
And yet they’ve gone out of their way to either avoid ruling on things they know they’d have to role against him on, it pull out bafflingly corrupt decisions out of thin air on many other issues. Them picking and choosing which laws they’re choosing to break isn’t that much of a relief
They are partisan, in favor of a fascist takeover of the US.
It is illegal. But TBF, what non-racist/non-white person wants to fight to live an a town of institutionally racist, toothless, cousin fucking Hicks in Arkansas.
I’m just worried about any kids who are forced to grow up in a place like that. The few who wake up and manage to leave will probably have stories akin to those who ran from a cult.
That is, if they manage to leave. :(
For sure. I just meant who is going to actually bring a challenge to that policy/law in reality. Who has any interest in hiring and paying for legal representation, court fees, etc. to make a judge rule on it?
Simple! Help them build a wall to keep everyone out (and in). Let them live in their racist dreamland, while you advance to the space age.
I’m sure there has to be at least one woke POC somewhere on Earth that has a cousin they really want to fuck.
Cousin Felicia does have legs for days…
We’re way past “legal” mattering anymore.
They are using a private organization structure to try to loophole the civil rights act. Of course, it’s a violation none the less, just with extra steps.
IANAL, so I don’t really know how you’d build a case against them, let alone one that the current supreme court would actually hear (if that case would even get that far). The Supreme Court can absolutely say the quiet part out loud without saying anything, simply by refusing to hear the case. It’s also entirely possible that this organization could get struck down by courts at such a low level that the ruling has no substantive effect outside their county or the state.
Fighting bigots has always required grassroots efforts in conjunction with federal support. Remember, the last time a president deployed the National Guard to a state without the governor’s (of that state) approval before the recent California incident was when Lyndon Johnson sent the National Guard in to protect the civil rights of students against this kind of institutional racism at the local level. But, as you say, this administration has obviously abdicated their responsibility the rule of law and the rights of most of the population.
It’s not a town, it’s a chunk of private land that a bunch of racists are going to turn into a whites only trailer park.
This entire comment section is commenting based on a headline only.
Half of you people believe that there is an actual town that is turning whites only. You’re falling for fake news as bad as the hunter Biden laptop crowd.
Oh well as long as we are being racist on private property, its fine. Theres a global housing shortage created by the failure of private property to be a stable basis of a free, rational, and equitable society, but the fomo is too great on a local millionaire car dealership owner giving me a nod of approval for not expressing racist enough views
If you think it’s fine, that’s your opinion. It has nothing to do with anything that I said.
Sorry I was doing a bit. I’m not challenging your views because that seems boring, but I am making fun a little.
My point is that stating it is private property, as if that disproves anything, is very funny because it is ironic. It demonstrates the ideological preference for private property over some kind of state-run incorporation, an ideological preference expressed by many people who own no land, nor political influence. Its your happy place where you go while being fucked by the system.
If I’m going to challenge your views, I would ask if you thought about how towns are begun? Can a group of racists just walk up to a piece of land and be like “this is the rock upon which we will build a Chik fil a”? Things take time, organization, risk and political effort. What starts out as some temporary housing on a chunk of farmland ends up incorporated, and looking for investors. Unfortunately for many people, doing actual political analysis requires a concept of time and change.
I would think that someone taking a chunk of private property and turning it into Racismville would be an argument against private property, but instead you made it into dismissal of the risks. Which is about as wrong headed as someone could be since racism is a function of private property relations.
“Don’t make a big deal about it” is what racist apologists say to justify racism. I don’t think you’re racist, you just have some wires crossed most likely, but the lack of understanding of the deeper problems imo disqualifies your views because it shows you haven’t really thought about any of this in a meaningful way that connects abstractly defined social forces to peoples lived experience of racism.
This is Nixonville from HBO’s Watchmen
Nice of them to bunch up like that.
chain the gates and roll out the plague-corpse trebuchet
Yeah it’s not like anyone in that club was not a racist before they joined. They just got easier to spot, hope this club has an app with a public (user) database…
a private membership association (PMA) for individuals and families with traditional views and European ancestry
tf why are we europeans catching strays again
Probably that whole colonialism thing
The union is pretty liberal. DW thats THIER view of what a European is. Racist white Christianity. A caricature.
Psst, hey, mister, they came from Europe Indians are native to this land, remember? Keep it down
Wrong comment friend
Oh, sorry!
David, a member of the community, told Sky News, “It wouldn’t be controversial for any other racial group to do the same thing.” Similarly, Niki, said people have a “large misunderstanding” about the community, claiming it’s “a loving movement.”
Exclusion is all about love. Didn’t you know? I love you so much that I don’t want you near me.
Csere also accepted that some would call him and the group racist saying, “I don’t really know or care if that term applies to me or not.”
The only people who don’t care if they’re called racist are racists. I care if I’m called racist. I know that much.
Let’s ask him if he knows or if he cares if the term pedophile is applied to him and see how he reacts. Bet he won’t care one bit!
I bet they do feel loving if you’re straight, white, christian, and uncomfortable being around anyone who isn’t.
there are also white people love to call other POC more racist than they are too.
To be fair, when have CIS white men ever had power in this country? They’re just fighting to get a fair shot, which they’ve never had. /s
The Lovings are turning in their graves. This is more of a Virginia movement.
I want an America that makes them proud, not these fucknuggets
We should just call all right-wingers pedophiles. And whenever they voice an opinion, just say “shut the fuck up, pedophile!”
I mean aren’t they already? pedophiles and/or sex fiends? it’s almost a daily thing where you read a story where “such and such conservative found with computer full of child porn or was found rubbing one out in their church/state office”
if someone tells you who they are, believe them. If someone’s entire personality/live is based around “fighting” this stuff be it anti-gay, anti-porn, anti-abortion chances are they’ve already and routinely do it all.
Now we should tell it to their faces. Break them down, and crush them. Let them know you have zero respect or regard for them.
I could see someone trying to spin black etc. only community as “excluding the oppressors” or saying that people are rightfully threatened and stuff like that. And that it isn’t racist since it targets whites and racism is only when white people do it.
I’ve seen some of that in a more wacky communities but would be pretty bold to try that out irl instead of some online community
angry white people have been attacking communities of color for a long time in this country
Right but what does that have to do with what I said
you mentioned it would be bold for a Black-only community to try to exist IRL, and that’s accurate - those communities even when just majority Black without exclusion policies have historically been oppressed and met with physical violence… Same with indigenous communities and so on, turns out white settler-colonial culture is intolerant and violent.
No I mentioned it would be bold to try to excuse the racism with the mentioned stuff
ah, didn’t realize you meant “racism” as meaning anti-white. To be honest I do think the relevant aspect of what makes something racist is the direction of the flow of power.
When a marginalized group is persecuted or oppressed by a dominant group, it’s the oppression and power difference that is relevant even more than the narrow sense in which group categories are used to make decisions. This is why affirmative action is not racist, for example.
Oof, called this in my first comment
banjos intensifying
The west African instrument? That’s getting confiscated
Gross.
And if black folks had a town where they said “no whites”, the Pedo Party would be sending the military in there…
Though I do like the idea of towns with zero tolerance of MAGAt morons/ aka republikkkans. Imagine how nice that’d be.
They wouldn’t even have to say, “no whites.”
Ever heard of Lake Lanier?
They turned a town of successful black farmers into a Lake.
jfc
They’d fucking fire bomb it. Again.
The tantrum would be epic. Fox would be melting down 24 hours a day until that town was nuked out of existence.
These never stopped being a thing. They’re called “Sundown” Towns; if you ain’t welcome you’d better be gone by sundown.
Wait, for real? That’s a thing? What happens at sundown?
Take a wild guess what a town full of racists would do to a non-white person under cover of darkness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching
like racist vampires.
They beat you and drive you out of town, if not just kill you. It was a real thing, probably still is in some places. I imagine they are making a come back since Trump
deleted by creator
That’s not what it means in this case. Sundown towns get their name from their origin of not allowing black people to be there at night (after sundown)
I had already seen the article and a video about It. Good let them stay there, then you trap them in their community with no way out. No outside world, no outside food, no outside other tyan their stupid community. See how they like it
Now they just need to build some tall fences. Not the inhabitants, the people outside the town. put up warning signs and lock the gates
This is how Farcry 5 started isn’t it??
They’d start whining in a month
Also, cool to see you on Lemmy now, i saw you frequently on reddit.
Yep
Who are you on reddit?
Who will do the work they don’t want to do? I suspect they’ll find a societal preference there. How long will it take for Stamford like behavior towards these future "new blacks / Irish / Asians etc. in this phew-topia.
South Africa already has communities like this. Poor white people do the crap jobs.
Yeah, I’m fine with bigots building their own communities so long as they stay there.
Yep
The dude on the picture looks looks inbred 😂
That’s kinda sad, they legit look mentally retarded. Bet there’s legitimate correlation between racism and mental disorder.
He looks like an ayrian cunt. Inbred for sure. How else can they keep their blood pure? lol
Mcpoyle
Pretty sure they’re Irish…
