I’d laugh if people refuse to do business with them. Zero trade for racistville
Some of us learn these lessons the hard way.
great thing about jewish is you get to be an abused minority with no one actually giving you credit for being an abused minority.
That’s because you guys control Hollywood and have space lasers or something idk.
lol, I don’t control shit. I do have 5 dollar pen laser tho!
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!
Fucking insane. I wish I could say “Of course it’s Arkansas”, but I’d suspect this of almost any rural area anymore.
The question is, why would that be a problem, but a community demanding that men don’t participate is fine?

You’re such a victim, poor baby. This is your holocaust, your own personal holocaust.
dude i asked a straightforward question for the sake of understanding the logical structure of the argument one might bring up to defeat my point, and you’re responding with a knee-jerk insult. not mature of you.
Cry about it.
Sarcasctically, because one is in real life and the other in a computer, and you aren’t being excluded or hurt from anything tangible. But I suspect you mean what if there were a town in real life that excluded men.
I think the inherent threat of violence would be a pretty clear difference between the the real and imagined scenario. I’ve been near a house with white power banners all over it in the south, I’m white and a man, and I felt threatened. I imagine the people those bigots hated would feel so much worse, more than I can realistically imagine. The threat of violence is inherent with racism everywhere, but in the rural US south, that racism carries more intent to do harm.
I do not imagine a town of women excluding men and by doing so imply they would hurt me or kill me if I came near or wandered into their town on accident. And I am a white man as I said before. Now if they also excluded trans women that would be a more clear indicator of bigotry and intent to harm.
And going back to the community you first mentioned, it doesn’t allow men for the opposite reason, as I interpret it. It is to protect the women in the community from men who are much more likely to be a harm to the people inside. Because men are used to being allowed to go anywhere and everywhere, being gently told, “hey this discussion isn’t for you, but you’re welcome to sit and listen if you’re quiet” is interpreted as an explicit act of violence, even though it’s clearly not.
That link doesn’t work. Also, What’s the problem with a women only community? I just won’t go there, no big deal.
yeah the post was taken down, apparently
i’m playing devil’s advocate and asking what is the difference between a community that is women-only and one that is white-only. aren’t both discrimination? and if people can just declare a community for themselves, can’t they both do so?
i.e., where is the “law is blind” principle in this?
Edit: JUST TO BE CLEAR, i’m not advocating for white-only communities or anything like it. i’d merely like to understand what arguments one might bring up to counter it?
I think both women only communities and whites only communities are okay, so long as they’re not bothering anyone else what’s the stress? I wouldn’t go to a women only community because I’m not one and I wouldn’t go to a whites only community because it sounds fucking horrible. But if they’re not harming anyone I don’t see the problem
Edit Ah yeah sorry you were doing the devil’s advocate thing anyway. I should go to bed! G’night
fwiw, whites-only communities are illegal in my country :canada: (true for any race actually). I don’t know if there is a law against women-only communities.
yeah i agree :)
Because white isn’t a group people typically virtue-signal about.
wdym? white supremacists virtue-signal about it. And regardless, I don’t think that whether or not one virtue signals should affect policy.
3/10 ragebait
mind explaining how?
as somebody who participates on that community, i agree with you.
except one being physical and the other one on the internet
yeah but i feel like that’s not the reason
if a group of women demanded a private space for themselves in a public area, i guess people would be ok with that. why so? why wouldn’t the same be accepted if it was instead a group of white people asking that no person of color intrude? isn’t both discrimination?
or have we merely adopted a habit of granting women special rights, as a habit of culture? if so, it should be explicitely mentioned somewhere, otherwise our speech doesn’t reflect our thoughts.
The more used to privilege you become, the more that equality looks like discrimination.
Get over yourself.
DM me the banger of the comment and I will comment it for you (assuming it doesn’t break the other rules on the sub.) Pretty sure this doesn’t break rule 1, since women are allowed to quote men. I’ll add a
and ping you to make it clear it’s a quote.oh the post wasn’t about my comment on /c/WomensStuff, it was merely a broader discussion about what kind of exclusion is possible/ethical/appropriate on a public forum.
Seeing the title, “it’s in Harrison, isn’t it?” Reading the article, “it doesn’t say where.” Feeling dirty and clicking on the link to their site, “It says Ozarks… And North East Arkansas. Not quite Harrison.”
Harrison is well known for being incredibly racist and the K³ capital of Arkansas.
I remember that was big a while back. Had a catchy name. Something German.
Snow Crash “burbclaves” becoming a reality.
At least we can count on getting our pizza delivered in 30m or less. One way or another.
Thanks to the Deliverator.
Oh. Oh this is a good thing. This actually a great thing!
Like, you’re going to have a lot of white supremacists pooled together in an easy to find spot.
I’ll let you fill in the rest with your imagination. :)
Yeah, I thought we’d have to spend resources to put them in camps but they’re putting themselves into camps that can be easily cut off.
I know you’re joking but I think we gotta take putting people in camps off the table. It’s too trumpy.
It makes for a Star Trek TNG episode? The one where everyone looks the same because they’re clones?
Good, put all these assholes in these places. Leave the rest of the country to those of us who think both POC, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ are an asset, not a detriment.
Future site of the world’s only fortunate tornado.
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
Yeah, I’m fine with bigots building their own communities so long as they stay there.
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.
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
That’s NOT Anti Semetic UNLESS they ALSO ban the Starving Of Children!
Trump administration:
“We hear there’s a Wonderful Community starting up in Arkansas, really great stuff, it should be a model for the rest of the country! We’re denying all federal aid to any state that refuses to follow the lead of this Wonderful Community!”
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
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.
sundown is when someone in the last symptoms just before going into full dementia.
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)
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
