Obama To Unleash Racial-Preferences Juggernaut

...President Obama intends to close "persistent gaps" between whites and minorities in everything from credit scores and homeownership to test scores and graduation rates.

His remedy — short of new affirmative-action legislation — is to sue financial companies, schools and employers based on "disparate impact" complaints — a stealthy way to achieve racial preferences, opposed 2 to 1 by Americans.

Under this broad interpretation of civil-rights law, virtually any organization can be held liable for race bias if it maintains a policy that negatively impacts one racial group more than another — even if it has no racist motive and applies the policy evenly across all groups.

Equal Outcomes

This means that even race-neutral rules for mortgage underwriting and consumer credit scoring potentially can be deemed racist if prosecutors can produce statistics showing they tend to result in adverse outcomes for blacks or Latinos.

Already, Attorney General Eric Holder has used the club of disparate-impact lawsuits to beat almost $500 million in loan set-asides and other claims out of the nation's largest banks.

In addition to the financial settlements — which include millions in funding for affordable-housing activists — Bank of America, Wells Fargo and SunTrust have all agreed to adopt more minority-friendly lending policies...

Hiring Criminals

...Those who reject minority applicants for credit cards or charge them higher loan rates had better be prepared to prove to Cordray's diversity cops they aren't racist. Many have already decided it's safer to give black and Latino applicants preferential treatment, which of course is racism of another kind.

Other targets of the administration's "racial justice" juggernaut include: standardized academic testing, professional licensing examinations, employee background checks, voter ID requirements, student disciplinary codes, prison sentencing guidelines.

The goal is to equalize outcomes based on race without regard for performance or merit.

Eh I keep going back to what I have learned about South Africa. The more I think about it, the more I believe this is the beginning stage of white genocide.

I sense grave danger- and when I sense danger like this- I am always right.

Something is not as peaceful as common “socialism”.

The kids who graduate in the top 10% seem OK, but; why should a person of color (PC) who graduated in the lower 20% be given a place ahead of those in the top 20% much less anyone ahead of them?

“The way to fight this is for EVERYONE to claim to be African-American. “

Terrific idea.

Sad. It is true if Warren could pull it off. Lord help me, as I have seen the country I loved more then my own life go communist.

If "gender" is now a mutable attribute, in that you can be "all of the above" combinations of male, female, eunuch, transsexual, homemade gender, etc., then race is certainly mutable, meaning whatever race I say that I am, that's my race, and the only people who would demur are "haters."

In that context, all non-black/non-African-American people should identify themselves on all government forms as "black" or "African-American" from this point forward.

Overwhelm their system for a change.
