'Whites-only' community seeks Missouri expansion

A “whites-only” group called Return to the Land (RTTL), derided by critics as racist and antisemitic, is looking to expand its reach from its base in northern Arkansas to an area near Springfield, Mo., a co-founder of the group said recently.

The prospect of a growing “whites-only” community — where members are evaluated based on European ancestry and where Jews are denied membership — is raising concerns among state and local officials and activist groups. RTTL, which describes itself as a private member association, began development in 2023 on its base in northern Arkansas, which sits on 160 acres of land.

A co-founder of the group, Eric Orwoll, told Nexstar’s KOLR that he hopes to expand soon to an area of land outside Springfield, and, eventually, expand to all 50 states. “We want to ensure that White Americans who value their ancestry will have the ability to live among like-minded people in the future if they choose to do so, regardless of demographic changes,” Orwoll told the news outlet.

He said RTTL plans to coordinate homeschool groups, health care networks, legal advocacy groups and more — all of which would be barred to people of color. “Whites should have the ability to live among their own people if that’s what they want to do, and mass immigration is quickly making that nearly impossible in many Western nations,” Orwoll said.

would be small and eventually they would all die out due to inbreeding....but that could take a long time. In the meantime I suggest they deny themselves any and all contributions to society by all non-white and Jewish persons....that should help speed it along.

They get something started like this, and they want more, more, more. More land, more of the tax base, more jobs for their people. What they can't get legally they'll attempt to take illegally. Pressuring and harassing the people living on that land t to move away and sell it to them. Good God! That's one of the main reasons for the Salem Witch Trials! Old women living on the land they and their husbands had worked... husband died, woman living alone, declared to be a "witch" because it's just so unnatural a woman should live alone after being widowed (/snark). The rich white men of the villages wanted the land and the women wouldn't sell... because... where would they go? Cry Witch and let hang the woman! (Note: the ergot didn't help matters)

The ONLY way I'd want to see this type of settlement happen is if they pick ONE state, move everyone who wants out into other parts of the country, and then put up a damned wall around their racist, sexist, bigoted outpost. Preferably manned 24 hours a day by sharpshooters.

Is it like what degree of cousins they are? Cut off at say third or fourth cousin?

Because you just know they also subscribe to the one drop doctrine.

If they want to buy the land, dig their own wells and septic systems, pave and maintain their own roads, put up their own traffic lights and stop signs, hire their own police and fire fighters, etc., then great. Let them self-segregate.

The minute they use a dime of tax-paid money they're in violation of the U.S. Constitution. I don't want to pay for them. Let them go to Russia.

if any racial or ethnic group wants to self-segregate and live amongst themselves - while taking NO federal or state funds - i'm fine with it. let the rest of us who wish to live with one another do so in peace without these kinds of people in mainstream society.

The Big Ugly Bill just gave Trump billions to hire more ICE goons and to build more private, for-profit concentration camps. Once Trump has deported enough migrants, ICE will need more targets. Trump has already said he wants to deport citizens who have committed crimes. You can bet black and brown citizens will be first. Some Republicans have said publicly that all black people should be sent back to Africa. I do not doubt that they will try to act on that goal.

This is the Amerikkka I've always known. It's just now - with the destruction of Constitution - the facade is getting stripped away. I'd prefer they live in MO as opposed to my Borough/County in NJ. Also - if they visit here?

is the homeless... that's why we starting to hear word about "clear the streets of homeless camping" from everywhere. Once they figure they have a handle on one group, they need another large group to start in on immediately. And the homeless population in this country is going to grow by leaps and bounds over the next few years if we don't get these wankers out of government... ALL of them!

Fri Jul 25, 2025, 08:15 AM

I kept reading waiting for someone to question where the funding for these communities come from. What jobs do these people work at? If they own a business, whats it called? SOMEONE is funding this crap, and we need to figure out who/what it is.

These losers wouldn't be very keen on their whites only town if they had no income to support it. They, like typical MAGA/GOP, want all the benefits of a society (roads, schools, public safety, etc) but don't want to pay for it nor want "others" to be able to benefit from it after they have.

So most of the small towns and villages nationwide are ALREADY "all white". They just don't turn that fact into a political stunt (i.e., advertise themselves in the media) to get attention.

Even the lawn jockey statues, the plastic flamingos, and the garden gnomes have white faces.

So, in what way is this not communism? Or even a cult? I didn't have Trump ushering in the advent of communism on my bingo card.
