Who knew there were Nazi enclaves on Long Island. Who knew they've never changed their convenant regarding the sale of properties.

Do I think this court case will succeed? You betcha.

I wonder what the court remedy will be?

More and more of the old Nazi regime, its rhetoric, and philosophies are making their way into modern life in many ways, by many types.

To races like the Italians and Chinese who actually did manage to rule an empire for centuries when the Germans could not even hold it together for a few years.

Donald Trump's support is a good example.

Of course, those who share the Nazi's hate of Jews have found new ways to spew their anti-Semitism in more clever ways too. Goebbels is surely applauding from the lowest level of Hell.

What should have happened is the restriction should have been lifted. And perhaps, given the way it showed its sympathies, the German American Settlement League should have had all its assets confiscated and been broken up.

because all the purchasers and sellers were Nazi sympathizers.

What are we? Nazis?

It sounds like they're operating as a private club, which would have insulated them until the mid-century civil rights laws came ino play. If this place was a development selling improved lots the covenant would be unenforceable. Can't wait for the outcome of this suit.

"Yaphank Nazi street names"

To say that the "suburb" requires German ancestry implies governmental action. That's not the case. There isn't even a government of Yaphank that you could sue; Yaphank is an unincorporated community within the Town of Brookhaven. The land in question is owned by a private organization.

As a general rule, landowners can sell to whomever they wish, but racially restrictive covenants are an exception, having been made illegal and unenforceable some decades ago. From the scanty report I have no idea how this one survived so long, and I see no basis on which it could survive now. The case does not mean, however, that a bunch of white bigots have been going to the polls and electing public officials who vote to exclude blacks (and others lacking German ancestry).
