Gated community in Missouri only allows 100% caucasian

who cares?
If the community was all black, and wouldnt allow whites in, do you think they would be called racist and in the news? NO....its black rights

just like they have all black colleges, television, concerts. If we had all WHITE colleges, oh no....can't happen because then we would be RACIST.

Seriously, some people need to get their head out of their - you know what.

Its their right to have an all white community.

couldnt have said it better myself. im not raceist but this is the land of the free. there is an african community in my home town that wont let white emergincy workers in. so be it. i have no problem with it. im not gonna take it to congress, if they want to be isolated from the real world that is their right as americans..

all it does it perpetuate racism but if that african american only community really exists then that reverse racism

By the way, if there was a group of, say, blacks or whites or mexicans that wanted to live with their own people, that is THEIR choice, and in this free country the federal government has no right to say other wise. Morally wrong? Sure, but again, we are a nation that is not supposed to subject beliefs onto another people. I wonder why so many people declare a community racist because the over whelming population is white.. there are plenty of town 80%+ hispanic or black.

These rules were not enforced against Black families moving into White areas, but were enforced against White homeowners who wanted to sell their property to Black buyers. A White property owner should be able to sell his property to whomever he wishes, and if the highest bidder happens to be Black, he should be able to sell his property to the Black person.

To use the phrase "reverse rascism" implies that rascism comes from only one source. Rascism is rascism no matter what color you are.

Black colleges allow any race to go to them. BET allows all races to be broadcast. I've seen Eminems videos there. Black Concerts? You just sound ignorant. These laws may not be enforceable in the eyes of the supreme law of the land but in the eyes of a man of color, it still looks pretty racist. If I decided to buy a house in an area that had a statement like this in their bylaws, I would do something to get it stricken.

if it's all their land then I don't see why they can't do what they please with it. they can remain isolated and be racist as much as they want as far as I'm concerned.

it may not be morally correct, but it's their right to restrict access to their property to any racial group they please.

but of course if the law prevents someone from selling their land to a black person, then that is wrong and should indeed be stricken.

I haven't posted in quite a while as I became sick of some of the crap I read in here, but congrats!! you earned my most ignorant post EVER award with your statement above. Racism is alive and well in this country today and comments like yours above brings an ill feeling to my stomach. The civil rights movement was just a few decades ago, YES we still need aid programs for minorities to even the playing field. QUIT whining!!! My god you people are selfish.

What a pathetic little post- you bandy about terms such as "ignorant" without actually understanding what you are saying.

Racism is indeed alive and well, and there are racist blacks, whites and asians- talk about statement of the obvious.

"aid programs" are a pathetic dehumanising notion- they do nothing to improve the overall status of blacks. Strange that East Asians (non whites you know) come to the US and succeed without "aid programs".

"Aid programs" do nothing but dehumanise people and perpetuate the cult of victimhood, which helps to mire many black "communities" in the mess they are in.

The real problems with black communities aint about 200 year old slaves or racism, it is about the decimation of family life with the lack of fathers for the majority of families.

Spare me your victimhood CRAP, I aint buying

Difference being, whites arent allowed to have awards and colleges called WHITE- do you get it, there is the racial bias, even if those awards permitted the odd token non white to take part.

Black pride enforced as OK< white pride enforced as bad. Not only is that racist, it actually treats blacks like children, who don't have the confidence to leave the "BLACK" label behind.

And cease this term "of colour", white people have colour too, unless we are all of a sudden see through

ok, snce i am neither white nor black (i am of the much coveted tanned skinned peoples) I believe I can make a non biased observation here.

to those white people that say it isn't fair to have a double standard, black clubs vs white clubs...i agree with you but you must remember, no matter how fair it is, you are held to a higher standard, when it is ok to have a BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION it most definetely is not to have a WHITE ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION why??
because of the higher standard i mentioned earlier. how can i put this properly...lets see, how about this way:
PREACHER'S SON-"but Dad, all the other kids are staying out all night and smoking, why can't I?"
DAD PREACHER-"Because son, you were raised properly and we, your parents know better, and so do you, and God expects more from you."

now substitue:
PREACHER'S SON=White Americans
DAD PREACHER=THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

is this making sense?

now my people, being from of the tanned skinned persuassion are like the hillbilly nephew that came to visit but never left, and was found peeing in the rose bushes and humping the cute nanny.

So very true. Attaching the "white" label provokes immediate racism but the opposite is wholeheartedly accepted by the ignorant masses.

Racism will never disappear, someone please prove me wrong. I'm not condoning it but I'm tired of people walking on eggs shells when the word jew or black appears. I for one have chosen to move to a community that is predominantly white. Is that wrong ? To some here it is but what matters at the end of the day is the safety and well being of my family. My previous town, which is still relatively close by, had very elevated crime stats for blacks. Is that my fault, certainly not. However I don't want to introduce my family to an increased risk all for the sake of satisfying society's pathetic acceptance that we should cohabitate in the name of better race relations.

Nobody with any sense or deceny could blame you for making a decision which you feel is best for your family-I live in the UK, and many of are towns are segregated along racial lines (particularly with respect to Muslims, who now, in the eyes of the warped British law, now come under "race"). I actually wouldn't be surprised if there was some legislation in the future that would enforce a "desired" racial mix in our towns, as it seems to be the case in organisations, places of employment etc.

You are correct racism, will never disappear, and it isn't a "white thing" (many people on the liberal / left appear to believe this, for various reasons, ironically this is a racist view)- one only has to look at Sudan, where the current genocide is largely race based (Arab v Black), mind you, for many outsiders looking in, the skin difference between the blacks in that region and the blacks is almost impossible to differentiate- yet the people there make the distinction, and lo and behold, big bad whitey is no where to be seen

Haven't we come far enough in times to quit playing the race card?

We see this kind of crap all the time. Oh my God!!! A gated white community! Racism! Racism!

There's black history month, the NAACP, MLK, JR Day, BET Channel/Magazine, etc. etc.

Give it up already. Enough with the race card. We're all Americans here. Unless of course, you're an illegal alien.

That link didn't work for me. Furthermore, this policy is clear racial discrimination in housing and is therefore illegal.

While it it very clearly racial discrimination, it is only illegal in the context of fair housing if they publicly offer the properties for sale. I wanted to sell to only people of one race, I could, but I could never hire a broker, place ads ect or even put a for sale sign in the window. The discrimination laws only apply to buying and renting properties, not the actual bylaws ect. I know it sounds stupid, but that is the law as I remember it in real estate class. The laws have to do with Publicly announced sales or some term similar to that. My real estate law is rusty. If you do a private sale, you can be a bigot all you want, yeah I know it's messed up.

also, ultimately people can sell the property to whoever they wish, and if someone decides to sell a property to a person of the same race, aint a great deal can be done about it

I would have to disagree slightly with that if they publicly offer the property and a person of another race puts in a substantially better offer. They could very well use the Fair Housing Act to create a legal challenge if they want to push it. Might not work without more evidence but there are a lot of racially biased people out there. The law is there for good reasons.

Forcing people to do things they normally wouldn\'t do without government intervention will likely negatively affect the property owners -otherwise they wouldn\'t have to be forced to do things. They would act in their own best interest.

This is what has devastated the inner cities in the U.S. -the government forcing its politically correct will on the landlords. The result is that the property values drop, and the landlords bail out.

If landlords and property owners were free to act in their own best interest, they would deal with people who would help increase the property values. In turn, if tenants knew they would be held accountable and could be thrown out, they would take care of their property.

Can anybody cite a real life example where a neighborhood\\\'s property values increased due to forced integration?

What the government can\\\'t legislate against is \\\"white flight.\\\" History has shown that where integration is mandated by the government, white people simply move to a different neighborhood. Should that be illegal too?

Political correctness will also produce the opposite result of its intended purpose.

that is it in a nutshell, often as not the effects of Political Correctness are the perfect examples of the Law of Unintended Consequences

What about "native american" reservations, how does that sit with you

*although I'm sure there will be a suitable number of self haters out there who can do the required mental acrobatics to justify this race based system because of the big bad white man stealing land which may or may not have been owned- did they have a concept of ownership- by native americans in the first place*

You live in your house.
I come in, kill your wife and kids and throw you out.
I declare I own the house now.

...But that's okay because you were only renting.
