Thank you. I appreciate it when sources are presented. First, I want to draw your attention to the word predominantly. This word means something like "more than a simple majority." In my mind, that's something like 60%+. You could even go as high as 95%. I wouldn't use predominant for 70% but I can see how someone would. But not 100%. Because 100% would be dominant. (it is a latin phrase, so that prefix does have weight.)
So, it's not a requirement to be Black to own a home in this future town. They're setting the expectation that it will be mostly Black Americans but not all. If you go to their website, they don't publicly state any restrictions on who can live there. If you go and look at existing 'All Black Towns', you'll see that the demographics are not 100% Black Americans. So, we have modern existing examples of towns founded by Black Americans for Black Americans where demographics other than Black Americans live.
But there is an actual restriction on who can move to this town. I want to call your attention to the last 6 words in what you posted. " escape from racial discrimination and violence."
So, if you are a racist and violent, you're not welcome. So, racists and violent people are not allowed to live in the future town. I dunno about you, but that's a restriction I can get behind.
Now, let's contrast this with “Return to the Land” (RTTL). It was founded in 2023 by Eric Orwoll and Peter Csereby in Arkansas. Do they have requirements?
Yeah, #1 is you have to be of Northern European descent. I bet they'd look sideways at Greek & Italians. Do they have other restrictions? Yeah, they sure do.
2: you can't be Jewish.
3: you can't follow a non-Christian religion
4: can't be LGBTQ+
These people mostly don't like Catholics but you can't be certain.
So... that's racist AF. Especially when you add in quotes from the 2 founders like "ortress for the white race" and is hoping for a charismatic leader that will be the 2nd coming of Hitler.
Do you see the difference between them?
