We recently discussed a story that wasn’t particularly popular here (to be charitable) which dealt with a new White House plan to implement enforced neighborhood diversity in American towns and cities through the power and influence of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The rest of the nation wasn’t exactly pleased with the idea either, but it did raise some interesting questions. One of the biggest among those was the puzzle of exactly how the federal government plans to figure out precisely how many people in each racial pigeonhole are living where and how they are interacting. Is that sort of data even available to be used in making such determinations, assuming you wanted to do it?
The short answer seems to be “no.” The longer – and apparently more accurate – answer is, “not yet.” But never fear, citizens! As Paul Sperry reports for the New York Post, the required data collection is on the way and it’s going to be mind blowing.
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.
I assumed at first that they would just be tapping into the census data, but that’s severely limited for this sort of preferential racial tracking. People tend to move around, so the big, decennial numbers tend to go stale after a while. Also, for the majority of respondents, they don’t tell you much more than a zip code to match up with the racial data – far less than you’d need for some of Obama’s ambitious plans. Sperry’s report breaks down some of the digital treasure troves which are being mined to fill in all of those gaps and it’s sounding more and more like The Central Scrutinizer from Joe’s Garage by Frank Zappa.
First there’s the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing database which was announced in our previous coverage linked above. It breaks down every neighborhood by four racial groups and identifies the ones which are in need of correction. (If the ZIP code in question has less than 50% “non-white population” is fails to escape the category of being “segregated.”) But wait… there’s more! The Federal Housing Finance Agency will be tapped to provide individual credit scores (along with “all credit lines” of all types) and employment history. Loan approvals will be tested against racial data along with those other fiscal criteria to root out racism in that sector even if none is being alleged.
But don’t stop there. The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (brainchild of Liz Warren) will be providing everyone’s credit card accounts sorted by race. (Side note: I don’t recall telling them my race when I got my last credit card. Odd.) Oh, and the banks will all need to tell Big Brother the race of everyone they hire as well as everyone who applies for a job. That should help them keep an eye on Wall Street, eh? Oh, and wait until you see what the Education Department is up to.
Through its mandatory Civil Rights Data Collection project, the Education Department is gathering information on student suspensions and expulsions, by race, from every public school district in the country. Districts that show disparities in discipline will be targeted for reform.
Those that don’t comply will be punished. Several already have been forced to revise their discipline policies, which has led to violent disruptions in classrooms.
This is some groundbreaking stuff, folks. Has there ever been such an assemblage of personal, private data by the federal government? To what purpose will all of this be put? And apparently it can all be done by the stroke of a pen in the White House without any congressional action or involvement. I suppose the final question here is… is there any way to stop it?
Big Bro is watching you.
Comply with our social engineering mandates or else. We know where you are. Resistance is futile. And we don’t want to hear any of that “freedom” cracker talk.
OK, regarding the neighborhood racial makeup-up part:
the only database he mentions that actually could have the race and address info is the school system. I’m not sure what other way they could determine that info.
People should self identify as something other than white.
Crash the system.
Will it be hacked, like the OPM database?
Last month, I got a phone call on my home phone with a recording warning me of an impending tornado. They knew all the phone numbers of EVERYONE in the path. They already know who everyone is and where we live.
They also collect data on Facebook. All of those little games that ask you to pick your stripper name based on your initials, are only there to ferret out your actual initials and whether you are using an alias.
They are cataloging all of us for some reason...
I think you hit the nail on the head. Chicago closed the Cabrini Green housing project. Where did all of those people go? Dupage, Will ctys?
SES,
Every time some rabblerouser starts in with their nonsense, I keep hearing that part of Dr. King’s speech.
If Dr. King were here today, he would unload on 0, the “revrrunds” Al, Jesse, et al, and all their fellow travelers.
0 doesn’t hold with Dr. King’s statement
” people should not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content if their character “
0 would say “judge people by the color of their skin, not the content of their character “
0 has done so much damage, it boggles the mind.

Hackerz can do it sooner....
Suppose i don’t buy anything ‘on time’, whether plastic or paper?
Suppose i have no loans?
Suppose I’m retired, so i’m not working?
Suppose I don’t have a car, and use public transit?
Suppose i tell my neighbor to go to hell, and mean it?
Suppose i’m childless?
And, suppose i rent?
Yes.
—anything— can be hacked....
They know phone numbers in a geographical area.
They have NOAA radar and forecasts.
Put those two together and it saves peoples lives.
Tornadoes are an equal opportunity destroyer..... that database doesn’t give a rats patootie whether you’re white or black.
I would worry more about the public scroolz (schools) database.
Do a couple things to crash —that— system....
1) homeschool your kids/grandkids
2) self identify as something other than white.
American citizens are being treated like enemies of the state.
Congress acts totally impotent to protect Americans. We are truly on our own folks.
Don't own one? Better go buy one, cause we are in for a bumpy ride.
This way they’ll know who’s financial accounts to raid for redistribution.
See question in #24 and answer in #31.
The guv’mint puts its eggs all in one basket.
Eggs (and databases) can be cracked....
(Yes, I bought one :) )
We are powerless against something this big. I'm pretty certain even FR is being monitored by the brown shirts for any hint of rebellion.
So, what is it you suggest folks do? We call, we write, we attend town hall meetings, rallies, we vote...warsh, rinse, repeat.
While we adhered to the rule of law, went to work and paid our taxes, the feral gubbamint has been quietly tightening the noose around the population. Everything is monitored, militarization of law enforcement put into place, covert transformation of the armed forces, gubbamint infiltration of every group, every blog, every aspect of our lives.
So, again...what do you suggest?
This tyranny is the inevitable result of electing leftists. Many liberals rapidly turn into leftists i.e fascists. Obama started out as a leftist, so he didn’t have to go far to find his fascist, totalitarian roots. Only a complete nutjob would initiate this kind of action.
“I have a dumb blonde question? Couldn’t secret government agencies and their military stage coup d’ etat’s to replace a regime or de facto dictatorship if said regime or de facto dictatorship was committing acts seen as seditious and treasonous? Isn’t that the meaning of the line in the Declaration of Independence?”
This is most likely why Barry fired so many officers and replaced them with trannies, gays, etc.
No area, no neighborhood and no family will be left White.
They were told where their Section 8 Vouchers were valid. If they accepted the vouchers, they didn't have freedom of choice in their destination.
Some were directed South to places like Chicago Heights and Ford Heights and others went North toward Zion. Some even went across the border into Wisconsin.
All coordinated by the Democrat Party Machine.
