I think I've mention my old next door neighbor... She was from South Africa, descendant of Boers and whiter than white.

When she first came to the US in her 20s she was filling out forms as African American (dual citizenship but grew up in South Africa) and apparently some people were getting quite testy with her because she was taking the designation literally and not recognizing it for the political theater it actually is.

It's also why I fill out some forms as Northern European American.

A friend of mine from years ago was born in South Africa.  He was white, but tended to be a little bit darker in coloration.  But you would never mistake him as Black.

He took great pleasure in making liberal pc types heads explode by filling out every form he could as African-American.   When they would (inevitably) balk at his self identifying as such, he would play dumb and point out that he was born in Africa, and what did they mean he wasn't "African-American"?  He was an American, born in Africa.  How much more African-American could he be?  By this point smoke would be practically pouring out of said liberal's ears as they tried to come up with a way of saying they meant "Black" without actually saying that's what they meant.   

Eventually he would flat out ask, "Oh, do you mean 'Black'? Because that wasn't an option on your form".

Is there any room on the form for Polish-French-Ukranian-German-American?

Maybe there should be one for Mongrel-American, n'est-ce pas?

When I was in college, there were several "whiter than white" students there with South African or Rhodesian origin or ancestry who filled out their forms as "African American" . . . I couldn't do that, but since I was born here I DID fill out my forms as Native American. This DID seem to make a difference when it came to financial aid.  ;)

Hammer City

Quote
Hammer City is Black Hammer Organization’s latest project!

Building a city for all people of color to be free (no discrimination of nationality, gender, age, mental/physical differences, etc)
Jobs, housing, food, healthcare
No cops, no rent, no Coronavirus, and no white people
Returning the land to Indigenous people
Building the first Hammer City in Colorado

and no white people

Quote
No more worrying about if you got enough money for groceries this month, about which friend is going to be murdered by the police next, or about when the landlord is gonna show up with the eviction notice!

All colonized people have been denied their homeland, and with Hammer City, the land will be governed by and returned to its Indigenous people, the Land Liberators.

After months of research, the Land Liberators chose a spot for the first Hammer City: the gorgeous and magnificent state of Colorado, USA!


Months of research  :rofl:

Bless their hearts.  I don't know which belief is more childish:  The idea that their discrimination isn't discrimination or the idea that if people donate enough money to them they are immune to Coronavirus.

They really think people are going to continue donating cash to them (in whatever form) so they can live in their racist socialist utopia forever.  I'd bet that the donations taper off in eight to ten months to the point that the place collapses.  Repossession will follow.  So will much hilarity.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

What's the permitting process for something like that? That see,s like a lot of paved over ground and not a lot of care to runoff.

I guarantee they know nothing about the permitting process and/or think because they own the land they can do whatever they want. They probably picked the wrong state for that.

I'm trying to figure out if they think they're going to live a life of ease on donations, so nobody has to ever work, and "donors" will pay the monthly Starlink bill and stuff, or if they think somehow a commune lifestyle will have everyone happily pitching in everywhere and never tiring of work. They have apparently never participated in a group project in college.

That website also says that they have a "constitution", but you have to download it, so I didn't. Maybe if I'm bored I'll start a VM and download it there just to see what they think a constitution is.

Anyway, I'd still love to see this place on a map to see how close to services and roads it is.

We need to get arfcom, glocktalk, any other large group of deplorables to fund the crap out of this thing for 18 months. Secretly. Fund them beyond their wildest dreams. So much they call their buddies. LAte October or november pull the plug. Zero dollars.  [popcorn] [popcorn] [popcorn]

Hammer City

and no white people

Months of research  :rofl:

https://blackhammer.org/hammercity/

Reminds me of Arcosanti in Arizona. Started back in the 1960s or 1970s, and hasn't achieved self-sufficiency yet.

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

https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g31277-d126816-r120867368-Arcosanti-Mayer_Arizona.html

https://www.metropolismag.com/architecture/complicated-legacy-arcosanti-paolo-soleri/

Quote
It is easy to see where contemporary criticism of Arcosanti builds. Its current residents attest to the urgency of its vision, yet the master plan set out by Soleri is barely 5 percent complete; a grounds capable of housing some 5,000 residents has retained around 50 since day one, and whose labor is equally devoted to producing cast bells—Arcosanti’s primary source of income—as in new construction. The principle of “arcology” vehemently cites cars as the death of society, yet almost every resident has their own. Far from an independent community, they make the 70-mile schlep to Phoenix weekly to pick up food supplies, drop off cast bells in gift shops aplenty, sometimes grabbing a drink at a favorite bar.

I like that idea, the timing wouldn't even need to be exact.  But much like any socialist government, I think those dollars are going to go to funding the leaders instead of infrastructure.

If such were to happen, or even if they just otherwise run out of money, I wouldn't be surprised if the likes of Google just tossed them $1 million out of their chump change account.

FL was too overrun with COVID  :rofl:

Quote
The exciting news comes just weeks after our last rally of 2020, where we had successfully met our goal of $50,000 to purchase land for Hammer City. Secretary General Anco, one of the Liberators, explains that the move to Colorado was made primarily because the state of Florida, the old location that had been chosen, was simply too overrun with Covid-19. It had been decided that such an obstacle would be unwise to tackle right from the the start.
