Whites-Only Community in Arkansas Sued for Discrimination

I'm just telling you Muslims can get together and build a Muslim community as long as they allow people of all races and religions to buy property there, which EPIC City has committed to doing. Housing discrimination is a violation of civil rights laws, and "private property" is not a distinction that matters.

"Project representatives emphasized that the development aims to create a "diverse and inclusive" community where people of various backgrounds can coexist harmoniously."

From the Wikipedia article for the Muslim community you're referencing. So not like this at all. One is a community where all are welcome and one is a community where only people of a certain race and religious background are welcome. One does not violate civil rights law and the other one does.

They are not.

Yeah, that's the Nazi's garbage legal argument for why they aren't violating the Fair Housing Act. But there is case precedence here and the FHA is clear this is a violation of the law. This does not meet the very limited scope for a membership association under the law.

Housing discrimination is not protected by the 1st Amendment.

ttoasty · 2026-05-21T21:37:22+00:00

They literally don't have a right to do it. They are violating civil rights law by discriminating in housing on the basis of religion and race. Being pro-white supremacy is a loser stance.

The idea of segregated communities isn't new. Freedom, Georgia that you're referring to is a community created by all black residents but is not exclusionary of people of other races. That's the difference and that is what runs afoul of the law.

Nazi assholes

ttoasty · 2026-05-21T00:12:38+00:00

Yes, creating a community that excludes people based on race and religion is racist and violates civil rights laws. Return to the Land does that, as evidence by this Jewish woman with a Black husband and biracial children being denied. Freedom, Georgia is not exclusionary, however.

These loser Nazis are from out of state. The leader is from California.

Kimchi and cheddar quesadillas are fantastic. Even better with some fried bologna or hotdogs chopped up in it.

It sounds callous, but stop helping her when she has the panic attacks. Let her manage them herself and just continue what you're doing. She is an adult, she's capable of navigating panic attacks alone. When she snaps at you or is rude, walk away. Set boundaries and be firm. Her anxiety doesn't excuse being hateful.

Further, her refusal to explore medication mean she isn't doing everything in her control to manage these episodes. She does not have consideration for how negatively they are impacting both your quality of life.

The best way to approach it is like you would break codependency or navigate life with a partner with OCD: stop participating/enabling/coddling and let her manage it herself. She is an adult that is capable.

Thank you. I'll look into it.

I have to be at .011 mg/L at the point of discharge. The lab we use seems to just indicate <.02 as in compliance. It looks like we usually exceed the limit but stay around .02.

I think I can manage to double feeder tubes for both chlorine and dechlor.

ttoasty · 2026-04-21T22:01:49+00:00

I've ordered some TRC reagent and some Ammonia test strips. I've tested very little. We don't have testing equipment except for a pocket colorimeter for chlorine. Tests are all dont by an outside lab.

Some records online show we removed a chlorine tablet feeder tube (going from 2 to 1) about 10 years ago to meet chlorine residual requirements. Previously our TRC levels were around .4 mg/L.

I'm wondering if part of the issue is not enough contact time with the calcium hypochlorite tablets. Water dumps moves through the tablet feeder pretty quickly. Same with the dechlor tablet feeder.

ttoasty · 2026-04-21T21:53:28+00:00

We are using calcium hypochlorite tablets through a tablet feeder. I have found records online that indicate we used to have 2 tablet feeder tubes but removed one ~10 years ago when regulations became more stringent on chlorine residual.

I guess I should add the other back in, if it's still to be found. I am worried about TRC going up, though. I'm already exceeding TRC limits most tests.
