Quite the legacy - from Paul Sperry writing at the New York Post:
Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database
A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.”
Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites.
This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama already is using to make “disparate impact” cases against: banks that don’t make enough prime loans to minorities; schools that suspend too many blacks; cities that don’t offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities; and employers who turn down African-Americans for jobs due to criminal backgrounds.
Big Brother Barack wants the databases operational before he leaves office, and much of the data in them will be posted online so civil-rights attorneys and urban activist groups will be able to exploit them to show patterns of “racial disparities” and “segregation,” even if no other evidence of discrimination exists.
The mind doth boggle... We were doing really well regarding race matters and in just six years (with two more to go) Obama's administration has stirred the pot agitating the urban black population. The irony is particularly strong in that the same administration has been royally screwing over the urban black population maneuvering the immigrants into the jobs that they would otherwise have available to them (not counting rural ag.). Unemployment with black youths to 25 is close to 50% - thanks Obama.
We need to punch back twice as hard - these people will not stop their balkanization and divisiveness until we do - until we mock them for the pathetic statists and totalitarians that they are.
Paul is quite the investigative writer - he has this book out: The Great American Bank Robbery: The Unauthorized Report About What Really Caused the Great Recession.
