The 1776 Gastonia housing development promises to blend patriotism and freedom, honoring the ideals that built this country. Developer Brock Fankhauser calls it a movement. Specifically, 1776 Gastonia is a planned community for people — or rather, "patriots" — 55 and up.

How much you want to bet it's "whites only"?

Not according to the advertising on the sites landing page at least, but we'll see what the community ends up like if and when it actually gets built. Mostly just looks like a crazier than normal HOA.

I would have never thought to give them traffic, but since you have, I have to humorously ask: do they really go out of their way to make sure everyone knows it's not whites only? I mean, in a "methinks the lady doth protest too much" kind of way?
