The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of \u201cracial and economic justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama\u2019s 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 \u2014 all to document \u201cinequalities\u201d between minorities and whites.<\/p>\n<p>This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama already is using to make \u201cdisparate impact\u201d cases against: banks that don\u2019t make enough prime loans to minorities; schools that suspend too many blacks; cities that don\u2019t offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities; and employers who turn down African-Americans for jobs due to criminal backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Big Brother Barack wants the databases operational before he leaves office, and much of the data in them will be posted online.<\/p>\n<p>So civil-rights attorneys and urban activist groups will be able to exploit them to show patterns of \u201cracial disparities\u201d and \u201csegregation,\u201d even if no other evidence of discrimination exists.<\/p>\n<p>The granddaddy of them all is the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing database, which the Department of Housing and Urban Development rolled out earlier this month to racially balance the nation, ZIP code by ZIP code. It will map every US neighborhood by four racial groups \u2014 white, Asian, black or African-American, and Hispanic\/Latino \u2014 and publish \u201cgeospatial data\u201d pinpointing racial imbalances.<\/p>\n<p>The agency proposes using nonwhite populations of 50% or higher as the threshold for classifying segregated areas.<\/p>\n<p>CFPB is separately amassing a database to monitor ordinary citizens\u2019 credit-card transactions. It hopes to vacuum up some 900 million credit-card accounts \u2014 all sorted by race \u2014 representing roughly 85% of the US credit-card market. Why? To sniff out \u201cdisparities\u201d in interest rates, charge-offs and collections.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Those that don\u2019t comply will be punished. Several already have been forced to revise their discipline policies, which has led to violent disruptions in classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Obama\u2019s educrats want to know how many blacks versus whites are enrolled in gifted-and-talented and advanced placement classes.<\/p>\n<p>Schools that show blacks and Latinos under-enrolled in such curricula, to an undefined \u201cstatistically significant degree,\u201d could open themselves up to investigation and lawsuits by the department\u2019s Civil Rights Office.<\/p>\n<p>Count on a flood of private lawsuits to piggyback federal discrimination claims, as civil-rights lawyers use the new federal discipline data in their legal strategies against the supposedly racist US school system.<\/p>\n<p>Even if no one has complained about discrimination, even if there is no other evidence of racism, the numbers themselves will \u201cprove\u201d that things are unfair.<\/p>\n<p>Such databases have never before existed. Obama is presiding over the largest consolidation of personal data in US history. He is creating a diversity police state where government race cops and civil-rights lawyers will micromanage demographic outcomes in virtually every aspect of society.<\/p>\n<p>The first black president, quite brilliantly, has built a quasi-reparations infrastructure perpetually fed by racial data that will outlast his administration.<\/p>\n<p>Source:NY Post<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A key part of President Obama\u2019s legacy will be the fed\u2019s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race.
