    In the Year of Our Lord 2025, it’s perfectly moral to burn down the home of anyone who chooses to live in a whites-only community.

      How do you feel about the Ultra-Orthodox-Jewish-only communities in East Ramapo and Kiryas Joel in NYS? Same difference?

      I ask because I live near them. If you don’t know about them, you should look them up. I can tell you that these folks make the white-only community look like a bunch of kumbaya hippies from the 70s.

      No need. Just sell them land primed for wildfires. Ideally somewhere that burned years ago and can’t get insurance.

        That’s not how wildfires work. If it burned, the fuels have been consumed. This is why the Forest Service in the western US do prescribed burns. Forest fires are actually an essential part ecosystems.

          That’s why I said years ago. Need something that’s burned before so insurance doesn’t pay. Ideally something that burned twice in the past few decades.

          Exactly. And remember, we’re talking about people who explicitly choose to live in an overtly racist community. We’re not talking random white people who may have passively benefited from society’s innate racism. If you got a job that a black person didn’t simply because the company you applied for is subtly racist, well, acknowledge your privilege, but you’re not really a villain yourself.

          But this? We’re talking about people who woke up and chose racism.
