"Welcome to Freedom!" exclaims real estate agent Ashley Scott as she surveys the nearly 97 acres of land that she and a group of 19 Black families purchased in August.
"Watching our people protesting in the streets, while it is important, and I want people to stay out in the streets, bringing attention to the injustices of Black people. We needed to create a space and a place where we could be a village, again, a tribe, again," Scott said.The two wanted to launch an initiative that would create a new city founded by Black families.
CNN affiliate WGXA reported the website called Toomsboroforsale.com was run by Tim Bumgardner, a developer who owned more than 30 properties around town. After Scott and Walters discovered the town itself wasn't up for sale, Scott put on her real estate hat and looked for land in the area. They found acreage for sale just outside Toomsboro, in unincorporated Wilkinson County.
One of the earliest all-Black municipalities was Mound Bayou in the Mississippi Delta. It was established by former slaves after the Civil War.
nice. but the biggest killer of young blk men is actually young blk men. so...
There r neighbourhoods in western cities UK, US where white people wont go, they r not welcome, safe in black neighbourhoods, yet if white people did the same they’d b attacked as racist, yet media only report one side, the west may not think or speak anymore ,
Disgusting comments.
It's nothing but segregation
that's not much space, unless planning to build high rise you might be looking at 400 families, sounds to me it's elitist and about money, it usually always is.
I think society already tried this concept in the 20th century. It didn’t work out so well. You Americans need to read more books.
Segregation is in again. That didn't take long. Water source and treatment plant, electricity, sewers/septic, houses, stores, schools, churches, social workers/police, and on and on. Ambitious.....
97 acres, 12 families, calling it a city? Either this journalist is a dumb ass and trying to hype this story up or they are being truthful and these people are the dumb asses. How the hell can you build a city on 97 fucking acres? Do you even know how much land that is? Not much
Hopefully it will be safer than Chicago....or Toronto.
So basically a cult
Meanwhile, BACK IN CANADA........
Think that’s called a”ghetto” 🤷♂️
I thought that was Chicago
😆
Brampton Ontario should consider this idea.
How long until they form a 'police' force? I'll wager by the end of week one.
Check back in 2 years. This will be one of the most dangerous places to live in North America.
It's a hysterical reaction by blacks who have been subjected to endless howling (by woke leftists, BLM and other radical lunatics) of identity politics nonsense and what an evil, dangerous racist society they live in.
So, like a reservation?
Lol
Another CNN narrative story. So black families are moving to this area to avoid crime? The crime they are avoiding is black on black. So do they now isolate themselves from other blacks? Is there at least one real journalist a CTV who can see the ridiculousness of this story?
This can’t be real! Black only town? But how is this going to work? Are there going to be white only towns next? Wow.
So wait...they want to segregate a city/town for one race?
Segregation. Apartheid. You really have to give it to the left. This is evil genius. Perfectly, precisely WRONG. They have black people demanding exactly what the racists want. Isolating themselves.
So the radical lefts solution to racism is apartheid..... clever you can’t make this up
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
Anybody will tell you that black-on-black violence is the 1 cause of black deaths. The only thing making cities unsafe for black people, is other black people. BlackLivesMatter StopRacism truth
Watch. All the trees will be looted and set on fire as soon as the first blm settlers arrive.
Maybe they’re polygamist
Uhmmm....never mind.
None of the BIPOC I know think this is a good thing They all think it’s as racist as I do Probably more so To each their own though
Would it be like the suburbs CTV ?
Reminds me of the failed 60’s hippie stuff. Well good luck
Let me guess, they all had businesses in Kenosha,Portland, NYC, MSP or Baltimore and got looted or burnt out.
What’s 19 times 5 people in a family CTV ? More like a village
So BLM has successfully reintroduced segregation. Setting racism back to the 1950’s. I assume they will want to secede too. Good luck.
I love this! Have always had this idea in the back of my head. Good for your guys. Congratulations and best of luck to you all! Thank you for filling my dream.
Who had Segregation Returning to the US in their 2020 disaster pool?
Here a a quick check to figure out if something is racist. Invert the colour in a phase. So change the word black to white in that headline. Let me know if it’s racist or not.
First it was a “Town” now it’s a “City” ... more like they want estate living
Hey 🙋🏽♀️ I make websites, so if you need a designer just hit the link in my bio and & DM me to make it happen 📩
They used the Walking Dead filming location.
Let's just take all the black people and move them somewhere else
How sad is this? People of colour have to create their own city to not experience racism?
Wait until they find out about black on black crime!
So a racist city against whites?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact they feel they have to do this makes me sad, they should feel accepted everywhere. We are failing as a human race
davidchapelle joke JokeoftheDay
The KKK must be very proud of their initiative 😳🙄😬👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 sarcasm
That same thing didn’t work out very well for native Americans
Hahahahaha this is getting hilarious 😂
Not a good idea.
It should never come to self segregating. Shame on the pride that does not recognize difference, or exercise tolerance. Where would our children be , were we not to exercise these most valuable tools?
A reserve?
Safe space? You're telling me that Black people can't find neighbourhoods in Georgia? Georgia is in top 10 of largest black population. Hope all goes well.
That would be foolish since black on black crime accounts for the majority of murders of Black people - that would make them rather ignorant of the facts...
Interesting, we have that in Canada, the Indians stay on reserves. It seems to work however Canada is paying for them to stay on these reservations. It’s expensive but at least we are separated from them.
Black people harm black people. How is this going to keep them safe
CTVUSA
A black reserve
Sad
I’ll never have to worry about ever seeing it. Bc I’m not allowed in the states anymore 😂😂😝
Replace black with white and tell me if it sounds racist
Self segregation... lol. Byyyyeeeeee
I remember this junk from the 60’s. Socialism doesn’t work.
They are talking Segregation wow how stupid is this smh
Isn’t this racist saying for blacks only
A Black amish style community could be good. Or just another South Philidelphia mafia run Project. It all depends on how its organized
Let’s keep the narrative, Eh! Perhaps ctvnews can join the 19 think alikes leaving us with brains alone.... you know right, being closer to the news source is always a better deal 😉
And if White folks did this? 🤔
Bring in a few gang bangers from Chicago and see how long that lasts.
Ummm, segregation hey😜. Let us know how that works out.
Meanwhile, over 90% of crimes against Black people are committed by other Black people... 🤔
Lmao and if whites did it the amount of screaming going on?
To live there you have to wear suspenders and a funny hat...
Really
Wait, what ? Lol
Will they take Sunny ways and the LPC too
It's unfortunate that the US south is the way it is and still living like it's the the 1800s, and that this is needed.
But if statistics show us anything...as long as there is other black people among them, they won’t be safe....
Activists and protesters can come in at anytime and threaten whom ever is living there- black or white- just ask the St Louis couple- plus the police may or may not protect them- probably not if defunded
What makes them think they will be safe?
Will you look at the photo they already burned to the ground😏😂
Keep Whitey out
Lol
The article doesn't really explain much. Is it 19 families getting together on the land for themselves? Or is it open to the public and everyone can go but whitey? And if so.. can of worms.
Whose going to build a city safe from black on black crime?
LMFAO
Just like Liberia 🇱🇷!!
I'm torn. I hate the idea of segregation, but the libertarian in me says 'Go for it.'
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Title says to create a city? Are they going to police themselves? If so they will all be stoned or dead within a month!
So 'Chaz' 2.0. This will end the same way. 🤷
Will this land have covenants that permitted to be bought by black people only?
Can’t wait until everyone else gets blamed when this self segregated stunt turns out to be a flop.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 !!!!
Self imposed segregation. Interesting concept. Sounds more like a cult then anything.
When white people did the same, it was called racism.
Sooo....they're segregating themselves now? 😂
Cool
Wondering when the anti white racists will stop treating anyone with a lighter colour of skin than them as one “ race” conspiring against them, they are the racists ,white people r many races , nations , I wonder when the racist anti white movement will look in the mirror
Just Remember ALLLL of USA and canaDUH is INDIAN LANDS, that's why First Nations have Sacrificed and Suffered More than ANYBODY in North America,in Getting ALLL THEIR LANDS STOLEN, MURDERED for etc.... Also, 'if you've got Land you Better Thank an INDIAN '😉😜
teririch So, we are back to segregation then?
So, no white people allowed? Assume all white people are racist, IS racism.
Well that is racist.
Trying to protect themselves from their own people who kill and rob whatch the news
Whatever 🙄
Now there’s a pro active plan. Bravo
What are the over/unders for how long till the city is destroyed, burned, looted, and the first shootings and rapes occur?
Got a ways to go.
is it for anybody or will criminal backgrounds be checked?
At one time segregation was considered evil
So are you telling me that black people don’t feel safe living in white neighborhoods? I call bullshit
How many US Black billionaires and millionaires entertainers, athletes, and business leaders plan on moving there? Oprah and Kaepernick, what say you?
This is like self-segregation. Not really sure if this is advancement. I’m sure not all Black people would agree to this.
This isn't racist at all lol
headline should read, to keep communities safe from black people.
Larger scale of the projects and we know how they turned out
BLM tactics working.
teririch
Till BLM loots and burns it down ......
Uhmm.....who's going to tell these black families that most black people are killed by black people?
All black people being unfairly treated in china should emmigrate here.
Should they build a wall around it too...?
Still on stolen native land lmao...
I had to look twice to see if this was a parody account. . Ffs. . Really. . They are segregating themselves? Isn't this the most ass backwords thing in the world. . And in Georgia ffs. . Wtf.
A lot of Canadian white people here telling black Americans how to live on this thread. Ignorance is beyond bliss it seems.
Wow... That's stupid
Lol. I’ll just lay down some facts. The biggest threat to black people are other black people.
Didnt they do that with liberia?
How stupid
Are they going to have a police force that if you resist arrest, they will just let you go?
Even if the 19 black families bought a chicken farm,twitter will still have something negative to say 😂😂 Like the article says they are just buying land but look at majority of the comments spewing BLM BS lmao.
backwards much?
R u guys sure your a news organization?
A city on 97 acres? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 can't wait to see it.
So, it isn't supposed to be a BLACK ONLY city but rather a 'PRO BLACK' city says Scott... Ehh, this is America I guess... Freedom to create a new city? As long as it's not blatant segregation; why not?
I guess one can understand why the would want to live in a monolithic society of their own race for security reasons. Hmm.
Black people makes cities unsafe for black people.
Stop pushing this hateful agenda.
Racist much
Most serial killers are white and they kill mostly white people. Good luck with your safety😂
Hey I’ve seen this one before!
A bit funny. Yeah good luck with that security issue! And to say, all this societal meltdown, bases on erroneous propaganda is 100% on the media. Good job on possibly starting tribal wars! I would honestly be ashamed to be a journalist in these times.
AllLivesMatter
Racism... thats all this is. And the race war will happen if allowed to continue.
97 acres is a city?
Sad state of times when they think they have to do this to be safe this is trumps fault
why is everyone so offended? cause you wanna move there? like they need racial lessons from you lot 🙄
So let me guess this is a community ONLY for black families. Is this not segregation? Someone needs to tell these 19 families they live in Canada, we are not the US, even if BLM tries to make out it is.
This is stupid, does this only have one road in and one road out too🤔
I wonder if white people can move there. Or Asian folks? Hmmm... Seems if not, it would be racially discriminatory.
Caution because the last time they tried this, the white supremacists burned it to the ground 😖
Because trump is the most dangerous threat to the people.
Where's the news about what's happening in Ottawa today? don't you think Canadians deserve know what is going on here, in Canada, you know where we all live? Do better CTV, just do better.
Didn't anybody tell them about black on black crime rates
Thought that was Atlanta
97 acres, they must not be much for back yards
I really don’t care anymore 😂 anyone who supports blm. Are terrorists in my eyes. If they want to make us look like racists. So be it. They bleed red just like us
If it's run by Libs and Dems it won't last very long lol
Killer Mike will be pleased, at least. INB4 it turns into a wacky sex cult like pretty much every single attempt to make communal/isolated living a thing
They're free to do whatever they want, if they believe this is a solution more power to them. My estimate is that it will self destruct within 5 years. I hope not but i mean realistically 🙄
In Canada, we have Toronto that is trying that. For some reason there is black guys shootings black guys, just about everyday. Strange how that safe factor works?
What’s wrong with the other 5000 cities in America? Isn’t that segregation?
Haha
Its just segregation
is anyone gonna tell them 97 acres isn't quite city material..
The fact that people feel the need to do this is disturbing to me. What kind of world do we live in now. 😞
A new high for racism.
The gettho in the making.
I wonder what we would call it if white people did it?
So segregation is a good thing now?
Ummmm, isn’t this basically Segregation?....🤷🏼♂️
Wonder how long before it turns into Chicago?
'Watching our people protesting in the streets, while it is important, and I want people to stay out in the streets, bringing attention to the injustices of Black people.' Ummm, you may wanna rephrase that Ashley.
When Southpark becomes reality.
I’m glad but I think it’s so wrong that they have to make their own city to feel safe. That is just so wrong
Really. Making more division. Love thy neighbor
Safe from what?
