I agree in principle, but isn't this illegal? I can't buy 100 acres and subdivide or rent it out restricted to white people. We either have Jim Crow or not. I frankly don't care either way, but pick one and apply it consistently.
No. You absolutely cannot do that. Period. Anywhere.
Gentlemen, you miss the point. Whites sold them the land and will leave with the money. They'll start their experiment and all of that is legal. Can they and will they get away with it? Yes. I give you Tuskegee as an example. Whites will be free to sell and leave or to buy if there is land available in the area. Blacks with means will move in and the town will slowly grow into a majority black town. Then as someone pointed out above bad relatives, unmotivated children, and others will slowly turn the utopia into a massive mess, unless of course those who originally bought the property bring pressure upon them with police, courts, and laws.
Tuskegee started out as a white run small town with a fine HBC located there. As older whites died out their children moved away. What had been a fine college town culture eroded into city corruption and the lack of maintenance of basic city services and a new kind of lawlessness. The African Americans there now who care about the city are fighting hard to regain control and to gentrify it for upper middle class well educated black families. Montgomery needs such a bedroom community because West Montgomery is a cesspool and nobody who loves their children wants to be around it. The problem is it is hard to fight poverty and crime without higher taxes, good police, solid city government and laws that support development.
So if you want to know what will happen in Wilkinson County Georgia look to Tuskegee but they have the advantage of not having to overcome crime initially. They have a good chance and I wish them well. What they are discovering is the American Dream of whites in the 50's.
