Whites-Only Towns Are Back
A whites-only town is making headlines, but instead of outrage, here’s why we say let them build... while we build something bigger, smarter, and ours.

Good morning, BFA Fam! Our thoughts this morning are with Deion Sanders, as he revealed he had surgery to remove his bladder after a cancer diagnosis but is now cancer-free and will continue coaching. Despite a tough recovery, he remained strong. This season marks his first without son Shedeur at quarterback, with Julian Lewis and Kaidon Salter vying for the role.
MAIN STORY
🔥 Let Them Build Whites-Only Towns; We’ve Got Bigger Plans
⚡ THE SPARK
A 160-acre whites-only community is “thriving” in Arkansas. No Black people. No Jews. No LGBTQ+. Just "European ancestry only", their words, not ours. The founder? A YouTuber with dreams of building racist compounds in all 50 states. And guess what? He’s got applicants. Hundreds of them.
The group, Return to the Land (RTTL), has banned anyone who doesn’t meet their ethnic checklist, and they're trying to expand to Missouri next. Officials are calling it illegal. The media is calling it shocking. But here’s the truth: it’s not shocking at all.
It’s just America doing what it’s always done, with solar panels this time.
🧠 THE LAYER BELOW
This isn't new; it's a throwback to sundown towns and segregated communities, just repackaged with fancy "private membership association" claims.
Their stated goal to "live among their own people" isn't about peace; it's about control, exclusion, and a desperate fear of a changing world.
While they're building cabins, we're building wealth, influence, and communities that reflect the future, not the past.
Their focus on "purity" and exclusion ultimately limits their own growth, innovation, and potential.
The legal challenges they face are real, highlighting that even in their isolated bubble, they can't escape the laws of a truly free society.
Our energy is better spent building our own institutions, businesses, and communities than focusing on theirs.
Let them pour their resources into a narrow vision; we're investing in a broad, expansive future for us.
🎯 THE REAL QUESTION
If they’re busy building a whites-only utopia… why aren’t we just as committed to building our own?
🔮 WHAT’S NEXT
Let’s shift the narrative from reacting to creating. While they wall themselves in, we can build thriving Black communities; smart, sustainable, and unapologetic. Imagine hubs of innovation, culture, and unity, powered by our vision, not their limits. This isn’t about matching their hate; it’s about outshining it with love and purpose.
The future belongs to those who build it. Let’s invest in land, education, and networks that lift us up. As the saying goes, “They can have their fence; we’ll build a legacy.”

Whites-only town in 2025. Your response? |
Pledge to choose rescue over retail.
Bringing a dog into your life is wonderful—but the demand for “purebred” dogs drives harmful breeding practices.
Popular breeds like French Bulldogs and Pugs face painful health problems due to intense inbreeding. Some can’t even reproduce naturally, which is heartbreaking.
Choosing to adopt from a shelter helps break this cycle. Shelter dogs—often healthier mutts—are waiting for loving homes. If you want a specific breed, breed-specific rescues exist to help dogs already in need.
Breeding dogs to endure these conditions for looks is wrong. Will you join Care2 in pledging to adopt instead of shop? Together, we can give dogs better lives and end the cruel demand for inbred puppies.

THE FLIP SIDE
💵 Shannon Sharpe Reportedly Paid $23M to Settle Sexual Assault Lawsuit
Shannon Sharpe’s legal drama might be over, but the rumors are just heating up.

While both sides admit to a “tumultuous” relationship, the case has now been dismissed with prejudice. Sharpe’s accuser even quit OnlyFans after the alleged payout. Sharpe, meanwhile, is back on ESPN, staying silent on the headline-making speculation. (Hot New Hip Hop)

Ukraine cheered the move, but Russian officials called it a "threat" that inches the U.S. closer to war. Tensions are boiling. (NY Times)
