Not offically, but then these folks are buying the lamd and developing it. It's not like they are developers selling the homes on.Could any HOA in the U.S. place race as a stipulation for living there?

Q, did you read the article to the end? It's not to be officially exclusively black.Which means, to me then, it wouldn't work. With people comes problems. A few years down the road, financial problems can affect a home owner. He decides to sell his home. A white family offers him what he is asking. What can he do? Deny them cause they are white?
I know they must have considered this. Would they have it written somewhere in their agreement that race would be a factor? And if they did, would it be legal?
And if it is considered legal, then white people should be able to do the same.

Q, did you read the article to the end? It's not to be officially exclusively black.
It is however, inspired by previously established all black towns.
It's rather humorous that they say they want to become a former black city.
"There's so many former Black cities," said Scott. "We hope that we can be one of those as well."
Scott and Walters say they've gotten questions about why they want to create an all-Black city. Their response? It's something that's been done for generations.
"It's impossible to have anything exclusively Black because our families are integrated," says Scott. "We are an integrated, tolerant and diverse community even as Black people, so we don't intend for it to be exclusively Black, but we do intend for it to be pro Black in every way."
I hear what you're saying, I just don't see it in the article. They are not making it officially all black, only systemically predominantly black, which I find laughable, but unsurprising and utterly hypocritical. It's what they claim the US is already, but for whites.What's the difference? If you allow only blacks, or blacks and only whites that are pro black, there is no difference.
Again, the white people should be allowed to do the same. Only whites or others who are pro white are allowed to live there.
As I have said, I am all for it as long as whites can do the same.

I did read the link. It was founded in the 1800’s, prior to laws banning segregation.FWIW, Allentown was not founded as a "commune". It was founded as a place where Blacks could own property due to the vagaries of California property. laws.
It is simply untrue that the “black race” is responsible for the violence and is using “any political excuse” to riot, burn, kill.I disagree. Yes, the politics of it plays a role, but it is race that is fueling the violence. The black race is simply using any political excuse it can to riot, burn, loot, and kill.......
Just imagine the outcry if the word "black" in the headline had been "white".19 families buy nearly 97 acres of land in Georgia to create a city safe for Black people - CNN

""We needed to create a space and a place where we could be a village, again, a tribe, again," Scott said."
A very interesting experiment in governance. I wish them success.
Did you ever find the source for your statement that the “KKK has helped a lot of black people”?Just imagine the outcry if the word "black" in the headline had been "white".
I know what you mean, but Jesus could be quite the racist at times. (Matt. 15:26) (John 4:22)

That is a gross exaggeration.
peace to you
Would you be for white people being allowed to do the same, and wish them success?
Utterly false hogwash Sir.
Jesus came "first to the Jews" but is the New Covenant in His blood available to all mankind? Of course.
Scripture says there is no difference among those born anew, you claim the opposite. Good luck with that...
If they succeed, it might result in most, if not all, blacks following suite. The result would all non-black citizens would, by default, have their own "compound", "commune" or whatever. Then, the blacks could live in peace, not fearing being killed while innocent by racist non-black folk! Everyone might have a better life!
You are referring to “blacks” as if the overwhelming majority of Americans of African descent are rioting. It’s just not true. Recent poll showed over 80% of Americans of African descent want more police.No exaggeration. It is the simple truth.
Just like when they riot to tear down Confederate flags and statues. Do you think they know anything about that war and slavery. They don't. But they can use that war as a means to vent their hate against white people and all the while be applauded for it.
Yes, the blacks are responsible for the riots, looting and murders. The whole thing is black motivated.

Don’t paint with a broad brush.
