In what may be the most ambitious social-engineering project undertaken by the federal government, the [Obama] 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.
Basically what the HUD policy intends to do is force neighborhoods into what it believes is "racial balance" by providing government funds to move people from the inner cities to the suburbs. So, for a city, why set aside land for new businesses when you can build a government housing project? That's what Obama and HUD want.
