Diversity...

From David P. in W.V. ...

 

 

Diversity: Now even ZIP codes are racist, and according to this race-obsessed administration, you're racist for living in a suburban area with little public housing. And it plans to change that.

 

In what may be the most ambitious social-engineering project undertaken by the federal government, the administration is mapping every neighborhood in America by race. The stated purpose is to use the data to compel local officials to loosen zoning laws and build more public housing, thereby offering more poor inner-city minorities better opportunities for housing and education.

 

But the unstated purpose is forced racial integration. The suburbs are just too white for Obama and his race-mongering social engineers. They think they "geospatially discriminate" against minorities, never mind that more and more middle-class blacks are flocking to them on their own.

 

The ham-handed government project is led by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Last week it proposed new rules requiring counties and other entities receiving federal grant dollars to "affirmatively further fair housing" in the suburbs for minorities. Grantees who fail to comply will be denied federal funding.

 

At the same time, HUD is pressuring suburban landlords to accept Section 8 housing vouchers.

 

The proposed regulation was issued just days after HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan addressed the NAACP at its annual convention in Florida, near the Orlando suburb where a neighborhood crime-watch captain fatally shot a black teen visiting the complex.

 

In his speech, Donovan vowed to help urban blacks relocate to suburban neighborhoods, where they can have access to "good schools, safe streets, jobs, grocery stores," among other things. He claimed suburban realtors and landlords still discriminate against blacks.

 

"African-Americans," Donovan said, "are being denied their freedom of choice."

Whatcha think about that, boys and girls?  Martin Luther King Jr advocated for "equal opportunities".  That is what he longed for with every fiber of his being.  Well, the "equal opportunities" thingy didn't work out so well...   Oh, the opportunities were presented, just not accepted.  The current administration, and the people pulling their strings, are now demanding "equal outcomes".   How do you 'spose that's gonna work out?

Stay safe.
