Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Michelle Walker, who is of Jewish ancestry, says the organization that runs the community, Return to the Land, discriminated against her by denying her the opportunity to buy land based on race and religion. Walker is married to a Black man and has biracial children, her lawsuit says. She’s seeking unspecified damages, including punitive damages.

I'm dead, lol. This is rage baiting on another level. At least she got a lawsuit out of it.

You have to be someone who identifies with your European heritage and ancestry.

Meanwhile I, an American living in the Netherlands, encounter black people on a daily basis that speak better Dutch than I ever will.

I mean, of course these people are fucking morons, but it's also pretty telling that their view of what is European is insanely whitewashed.

I mean, of course these people are fucking morons

For a second I thought you meant the black folk you meet in the Netherlands and I was legitimately shocked at the open racism. This is what I get for opening Lemmy as soon as I wake up, before I've even gotten out of bed lol

Also, teach me your ways. How do I move to the Netherlands‽

[–] BozeKnoflook@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ahhh fuck now that I read it in that way I can totally see it lol!

I moved using the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty; basically start and run a Dutch business that employs yourself and sponsor your own immigration. It was the only valid path I had from the US -> Europe, and it's actually surprisingly easy if you're capable of being self employed. My business went well for a while until my main client screwed me over but now I have a regular highly-skilled-migrant visa which requires a Dutch company to hire you and sponsor your work visa.

I think it's a wonderful place in it's in own right. If I compare it to where I used to live I question why I didn't do it sooner.

I know Google exists and I'll go to research on my own, too, but as someone who's been through the process, can it just be any business, or does it have to be a minimum value company before you can do it? Any general advice?

[–] nixfreak@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

Yep I agree, love Netherlands, seriously thinking about moving. My friend that lives there now keeps bugging me to move there.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

To be fair, I'm sure there are a lot of fucking morons with better Dutch than mine will ever be. (I speak zero Dutch.)

Yeah but I have 0.000001% Irish roots. Basically Irish at this point.

[–] BozeKnoflook@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Ah, I see you've met my mother.

Who had "Whites Only" and "Arkansas" on their instant-win bingo card?

She's Jewish, married to a black man, with mixed race kids. She's hears about this "whites only" community, and immediately decides that's the only place to live.

And her kids say "Aw, Geez, here goes Mom again."

If I finally run out of fucks to give, might go out there, stand up some Baphomet statues, run a weekly hootenany

To live in the community, Orwoll told CNN: “You have to be someone who identifies with your European heritage and ancestry. You have to celebrate traditional European values and we get those values from our religious documents within Christianity, within Norse paganism.”

Wait, Norse isn't christian. Wait a minute, the Norse were burning christian churches in the 90s!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Norwegian_black_metal_scene

“We value our heritage, not just because that’s our race and we’re all about skin color, but also because we care about traditional European music and art and European history, and we want to raise our kids in an environment where all of that is celebrated, not attacked.”

Your religion is from the fucking desert in the fucking middle east, my guy. It was spawned by a jew who went against the establishment in Rome. I'm an atheist and I promise you that I know more about the history of your religion than you do, you stupid racist fuck. Also, Jesus was probably brown, dickhead.

I had never heard of this place before Dan Cummins talked about it on the Timesuck Podcast like 2 weeks ago. Good listen if you want to learn more.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago

Apologies for double-post, but I got sidetracked when I read the article. What really needs to happen is a targeted campaign of harassment. Violence is not something I advocate, but I understand it.

Those homes are made wood. They are flammable.

Having grown up in Arkansas, the thing that surprised me the most was that this wasn't near Harrison.

But it's in the Northeastern Corner near Pocahontas, yup, still makes sense.
