Obama administration using housing department in effort to diversify neighborhoods
Fox News ^ | August 8, 2013 | Doug McKelway

In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America’s neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.

The policy is called, "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July.

"Unfortunately, in too many of our hardest hit communities, no matter how hard a child or her parents work, the life chances of that child, even her lifespan, is determined by the zip code she grows up in. This is simply wrong,” he said.

Data from this discrimination database would be used with zoning laws, housing finance policy, infrastructure planning and transportation to alleviate alleged discrimination and segregation.

We already have diversity - people from all walks of life who have earned enough money to purchase a home can live in anny neighborhood they can afford.

My neighborhood (about 1,200 houses) is virtually 100% white. Houses are $400,000 to >$5M (yes, that big a spread). Most sales are for cash, no financing. People don’t want to screw around with banks and their FedGov masters.

“Will whites be force-marched into Detroit at gunpoint?”

Seems the ghetto blacks don’t like white people moving in and cleaning up the place. Sort of like how pigs don’t like it when you wash away their sty.

http://www.halfsigma.com/2012/11/white-people-are-colonizing-detroit.html

“The conclusion here is that white people are colonizing Detroit, just like white people once colonized South Africa and Rhodesia.”

Can’t have whitey cleaning up the ghetto and making proerty values go up!

Reminds me of a quote I once say (don't remember the author):

"The value of any given organization or association to society is inversely proportional to the awards it gives itself."

Does Obama know that most of the poor people in this country are white?

They even did it for gain; you get nothing for lying on the census -— except perhaps no Section 8 housing in your neighborhood because you meet the required Trayvon quota.

This basically amounts to rewarding people who have made poor decisions in their life, by punishing people who have made wise decisions.

Liberals truly desire a Harrison Bergeron world. A story by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

“It is the year 2081. Because of Amendments to the Constitution, every American is fully equal, meaning that no one is smarter, better-looking, stronger, or faster than anyone else. The Handicapper General and a team of agents ensure that the laws of equality are enforced. The government forces citizens to wear “handicaps” (a mask if they are too handsome or beautiful, earphones with deafening radio signals to make intelligent people unable to concentrate and form thoughts, and heavy weights to slow down those who are too strong or fast).”

The trouble is that when liberals read that story, they imagine it an ideal future for us all. They get all dreamy and try and imagine how they can make it happen.

Understand, also, that 70%+ of those inner-city tribal parasites are in father-shall-remain-nameless and not part of the household, as a LIFESTYLE.

Now, we can bring those Welfare Queens and their boyfriends via Section 8 housing to suburbia, to turn EVERY city in America into a crime-infested cesspool.

The inner-city concentration of tribal parasites exists for one reason: a Culture of Welfare and living off Whitey for 4 generations......and, NO FAMILY UNIT.

Social engineering at its worst !!!!!

This is Act II in the lets F-CK up the housing economics by getting people into homes they can't pay for while sticking it to "Whitey". In the 60's it was called blockbusting and was a popular sport in Chicago, Obama's future political schoolroom. Today its a follow on to the recent real estate fiasco that crashed the markets. Make no mistake. Its part of his plan to "Fundamentally Change America."

Blacks would find a very different “suburbia” encircling the welfare hives than 20 years ago; today those ‘burbs are heavily Hispanic, and also have a lot of white section 8 recipients (who are just as disagreeable as black ones).

In my neck-o-the-woods, suburbia that's about 15-20 miles out of the Cesspool cities is populated by upper-middle class professionals, most of whom now are CCW and protective of their families and property. Not quite the "leave the doors un-locked" days of the 50's anymore.

This effort (Section 8 in suburbia) may very well start the necessary Civil War II that would clear the streets of the parasites in large numbers.

Some of the seeds for this were sown in the remedies of the 50s and 60s. People aren’t allowed to choose whom they wish to associate with.

Here in NJ everything is much more compressed; each county has at least one welfare hive (the densest ones have more), and they are separated from suburbs usually by waterways, interstates/railroads, or even simply municipal borders (vigilant police and limited vehicle access make it difficult, but not impossible, for raiding parties to get through).

The middle class has to buckle down here in NJ (along the lines of the “strategic hamlet” strategy used successfully during Vietnam); they have to focus on their immediate area where their families sleep and fight tooth and nail to keep it secure. We’ve laid off a lot of cops in the past few years (which I support - they cost too much and don’t enforce laws anymore due to political correctness), and the Obama administration has basically criminalized self defense so we have to be meticulous - if George Zimmermann had killed Trayvon Martin on Zimmermann’s property there wouldn’t even have been a trial.

The first thought that comes to mind is the scene in Dr. Zhivago when he comes home from war and finds his family living in a section of the family home because the home has been divided into a tenements by the conquering communist government.
