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.

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?
