Only the rich can discriminate: [Jewish] Liberals freak out over the Hamptons of Arkansas
The New York Times recently ran a podcast on Return to the Land, a membership club for straight, white Christians. It operates like a Manhattan co-op, with members buying shares that entitle them to a piece of real estate, the main difference being that, instead of being on a tiny island, home to some of the most expensive apartments in the world, this club is located on 130 acres of unused land in a remote part of Arkansas, where the closest grocery store is 30 minutes away.
The reporters covering the story, Rachel Abrams and Debra Kamin, couldn’t have been more shocked if they’d uncovered a lynching. They interviewed a woman who is suing RTL for discrimination after her application for membership was rejected.
Not that it matters to the legality of the community, but the woman, Michelle Walker, seems to be pulling our leg. The fact that Abrams and Kamin pretend to believe her makes me question their perceptiveness as reporters.
Walker is a Jewish woman married to a black man, born and bred in Missouri, whose entire real estate business is in St. Louis; the name of her brokerage is STL Buy & Sell, REALTORS. But she claims she had her heart set on buying into an Arkansas community that both she and the reporters describe as a bunch of “white supremacists.”
The Times ladies insist that Walker looked at joining RTL in only terms of hard dollars and cents, and didn’t mind at all that they are white supremacists.
As Walker explained, “A good investment is a good investment.” Noting that it’s “the perfect five hours as a great little weekend getaway,” her dream was to “maybe build an A-frame on it, do Airbnb with it.” She was excited at the prospect of “other white supremacists that want to vacation there, and on my land.” Vacation with white supremacists!
I haven’t checked RTL’s charter, but I’m almost certain it does not allow Airbnbs. (Nor do New York City co-ops.)
Maybe I’m completely off-base, but I think Walker’s interest in RTL is less about acquiring an investment property and more about annoying a group of white, straight Christians.
Unlike Walker, the reporters don’t hide how stricken they are at such a community. They said the discrimination was “blatant.” Whereas Manhattan co-op boards are subtle. They said the Arkansas club was a “blueprint for modern-day segregation.” Hardly. Colleges wrote the blueprint for modern-day segregation eons ago with “affinity dorms” for black, immigrant, Muslim, Jewish or gay students—pretty much any affinity except white.
Given her abhorrence of segregation, it’s odd that Kamin lives in Tel Aviv, a city that enthusiastically practices both de jure and de facto segregation and is wildly undiverse. In fact, there is no city in America as white as Tel Aviv is Jewish; not Dubuque, Iowa; Burlington, Vermont; or Livonia, Michigan (once called “the whitest city in America”).
CORRECTION: The places where people like Times reporters summer are as white as Tel Aviv is Jewish. Well-heeled New Yorkers would have to drive pretty far from their homes in East and South Hampton, Rhinebeck and Chatham, New York, to find Our Greatest Strength. (This might be another topic for Abrams and Kamin to investigate someday.)
Kamin mocks the founders of RTL for saying they want to “quote unquote, ‘preserve their culture.’” But aren’t the Hamptons’ (and Tel Aviv’s) impressive lack of diversity also an attempt to, as Kamin puts it, “quote unquote, ‘preserve their culture’”?
While we’re at it, do Times reporters send their kids to public schools so multicultural they have to pass through magnetometers to enter? Are their local Whole Foods and Zabar’s patronized by a multitude of classes and ethnicities?
There’s always been a direct conflict between freedom of association and anti-discrimination laws. The Constitution only prohibits discrimination against black people — just as the 14th Amendment is only about freed slaves, not anchor babies. This is in contrast to the current practice, which is to prohibit discrimination against everyone except white people.
Yet and still, if a private community for straight, white Christian homesteaders in the backwoods of Arkansas, that’s bothering no one, is keeping liberals up at night, they have become the walking embodiment of H. L. Mencken’s joke about Puritans: They live with the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be residing in an all-white community. (Other than them.)

How DARE Whites set up the same kind of things Jews have had all along? I’ve been to one of the Jewish “community centers” in my area and it’s nice, as in very-very nice. As in, you’d probably pay $20k a year to match it. Fun fact: The dues are not $20k a year, just be Kosher. I think it’s about $3600 a year if that.
Also the Jews have “Birthright” trips, paid for by our tax dollars of course, for Jewish kids to be really rather nice vacations in ‘israel”. Why isn’t there something like that for Ireland or Scotland or Jolly Olde or Germany etc.? Imagine the outcry.
There’s an Afrikaans-only town in S. Africa called Orania. It’s not whites-only, it’s Afrikaans only. You have to speak Afrikaans, be a member of their church, etc. Pale skin isn’t enough. There are several attempts at hit pieces on it on YouTube, but the investigator always goes there, finds it’s much more restrictive than just being White, and that kind of takes the hot air out of their objections.
Meanwhile at the above mentioned Jewish community center, you can be any flavor of Jewish including “secular atheist” and that’s A-OK. I’m sure it comes down to being Zionist.
She said “jew”?
WOW
No, I couldn’t find the word “Jew” anywhere; only the word “Jewish.” She still has that hang-up?
Never look a gift mule in the mouth.
Indeed. It’s a pretty safe bet that if Coulter were to shake free of that hangup, however, she would also be hanging up her livelihood. To give her the benefit of the doubt, she might think that speaking some little truth, even if only by indirection and implication, beats speaking no truth at all.
As you know, Carolyn, Coulter is now in her mid-sixties, and her “hot babe with the edgy personality” persona isn’t aging well. I have no idea how widely her column is still syndicated, but I should be very surprised to be told that the numbers are comparable to what they were ten and twenty years ago. Surely she knows that much of what remains of her receptive audience, led by those on whom her income depends, would turn its back on her were she to drop the last veil and forthrightly name the Jew. The wilderness in which her erstwhile friend Joseph Sobran spent the last fifteen years of his life cannot, I imagine, have much appeal for her.
Maybe it’s something else but when I clicked on the link embedded in copy of this post, I was asked to verify that I was human, etc., the usual stuff, and apparently downloaded a virus doing something in the background for a long time and displaying an all-your-files-are-now-blocked–click-here-to-fix-it message.

No ethnic European, be it relatively higher IQ “yuppies,” or lower IQ blue collar workers, are turning on the Jewish people. European “Yuppies” understand that in order to maximize their wealth/resources, they must support the Jewish people, and as such, they will do just that. These “yuppies” have come to understand that the Jewish people own and run the West. and by supporting the Jewish people, they will by given high income jobs by the Jewish people. And regarding the rest of the ethnic Europeans, they understand, based on Christian dogma, that in order to receive the reward of “Heaven,” they must 100% support the Jewish people. Thus, the ethnic Europeans will 100% support the Jewish people for as long as the ethnic Europeans exist, which is not much longer. Europeans have a birthrate of 1.5 offspring per female, meaning that they will eventually go extinct, most likely by 2175 AD.
So, the ethnic Europeans will go extinct. And according to Baidu AI chat, the Chinese Han, based on their fertility rate of 0.90 offspring per female, will have a population of 3.5 million by 2126 AD. Of course, by 2126 AD, both Koreas and Japan will be 100% extinct due their birthrates of around one offspring per female, on average.
Now, the Jewish people, based on the secular birthrate of 2.1 offspring per female, and based on their Orthodox birthrate of six offspring per female, will reach a population count of fifty million by 2126 AD, based on Baidu AI chat. Currently, the Jewish population is 15 million.
