A whites-only town in Arkansas revives far-right segregationist ideals, banning immigrants, people of colour, Jews, and LGBTQ+ individuals in a disturbing return to the past.
What’s with this source?? Guys we are getting fake newsed I think. Almost no one is reporting on this. I think that this is like a group who want to build a rural racist person compound. I don’t think it’s a “town”.
I found this on another article.
"A group of white supremacists is founding a settlement in Arkansas that will only allow in white Christians.
The 160-acre community in the Ozark hills near Ravenden, Arkansas, named “Return to the Land” (RTTL),
So it’s not a town. It’s just some racist people on some private land. Calling it a town implies that they have captured an actual municipality including state funded infrastructure.
We really need to brush up on media literacy around here. If a source is trying to rip off the names of other popular media companies to trick you into thinking that you’re reading something else. Maybe they’re not the people that you should be using as a source of information…
I believe you are incorrect in your assessment of the situation.
This is not fake news. This is actually happening, and they are actually seeking to build a ‘town’. It is still in the beginning stages, but that is their stated goal. AND, they have plans to expand:
Now I don’t know anything about the OP’s source. But I can tell you that this is being reported by MSNBC, the Independent and others.
It’s a trailer park on some land. These sources that you linked are not calling it a town.
Ok, well what would convince you, then? What criteria are you looking for exactly before you acknowledge that this is a dangerous thing happening in our country? Are you waiting for a town charter from the state, perhaps? I’m not really sure why you’re fixated on it being a ‘town’. Like it’s not cause for concern until they suddenly have paved roads and municipal buildings? I’m just not understanding your logic, here.
It is a cause for concern, but the article is definitely titled misleadingly. It makes it sound like this was backed by the town’s government, when its really just a bunch of crazy racists trying to start a compound and eventually turn it into an officially recognized town.
A “town”, like an actual municipality with a police force, stores, hospital etc, which is whites only, would be so incredibly fucked up.
Some racist dickhead inviting other racists to come live on some piece of land that he owns, while it is fucked up, is nowhere near as fucked up as a whites only “town”.
Do you really not understand why a state sanctioned and funded municipality which is whites only would be 10,000 times worse than some racist people on some private land?
Normally Im a live and let live kind of guy, but it would be nice to burn that shit to the ground and watch their faces as it goes to ash. I cant imagine how wholesome that would be
Id let my kid watch it.
Imagine all the rest of america holding hands in a giant circle around the town like the hoos from whooville and singing while the town crumbles to ash.
Arkansas is by far one of the most backwoods states I’ve been to. Worse than Texas.
Arkansas is the anus of the USA
Now just build a fence around it and let them stew in their own idiocy.
Off topic, but how often does the “Daily” Guardian actually post? 🤔
Also: holy anti-immigration weasel words, Batman!
Based on their RSS feed every 5-10 minutes.
Doesn’t make any sense to have it there, then. Even though it WAS last updated long after the headline became a lie, that was still 3 days ago, making it not i any way amongst the 10 LATEST news stories.
No argument from me. I don’t even bother visiting news sites anymore. RSS reader is the only way to go.
Return of the sit-in ?
Welp I guess Arkansas can join with Missouri as terrible
hey how about we blow that town off the map
