Affirmative Action and the American Mind: If Any

Guest Post by Fred Reed

“Affirmative action” means hiring people because they can’t do the job well. Near-synonyms are “diversity,” meaning groups that cannot do the job well, and  “inclusiveness,” which means seeking people who you know cannot do the job well.  These underpin American society, and have ruined education. For some time the sciences seemed less susceptible to the prevailing enstupidation because mathematics would present an impenetrable barrier to the the insufficiently bright. This, astonishingly, is changing. The sciences are being dumbed down to–are you surprised?–spare the feelings of included affirmative diversity.

Affirmatively Destroying America’s Neighborhoods In The War On Suburbia

Submitted by Bob Livingston via PersonalLiberty.com,

Few of us understand patient gradualism. We live and have our being within a few years and mostly in an unconscious automated state of mind.

But people in power are long-term planners. They absolutely understand human nature and how to channel it to the evolution and refinement of the authoritarian state.

Authoritarianism is based on long-term planning. Authoritarianism is a philosophy of collectivism. Some call it democracy. Some call it communism. Some call it fascism. Some call it National Socialism. But whatever you call it, it is all collectivism or authoritarianism; and in its ultimate form it is globalism.

The goal is perfect docility and perfect harmony with authoritarianism (economic, social and spiritual). Until the people accept collectivism under some pretext, they are not docile and completely subdued. Once they do, rebellion and confrontation are impossible. This is the ultimate goal of the globalists, and the American system is nearing this state.

As I told you last week in “Why is the war on the Confederacy still going on today?,” the dismantling of the middle class has become the appointed, full-time task of the largest government alphabet soup agencies and Wall Street on behalf of globalism. The purpose behind this is that if those big middle-class producers and consumers can be decimated once and for all, then they can join the ranks of low-wage workers and more readily accept government largess and, thereby, become “hooked” on collectivism.

AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING

Government mandated racial diversity coming to your neighborhood courtesy of your Savior in Chief using your tax dollars to ease the plight of former slaves by providing them housing they can’t afford, but you can. You too can now live next to Section 8 neighbors like Admin in Wildwood. Obama is the gift that keeps on giving. He’s got two years left and he will use executive orders to implement his left wing agenda while appeasing the Republicans with more war. Wait until the nasty parts of Obamacare kick in during 2015.

Free To Choose? Obama Administration Likely To Impose “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” Regulation After Midterm Elections

The midterm elections are on Tuesday, November 4th. After the elections, the Obama Administration is expected to operationalize the “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” regulation in December.

What is the proposed “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” regulation?

According to the New York Post,

After a delay, the administration’s final “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” regulation is now expected to be announced in December. Originally scheduled for finalization in October, the new Housing and Urban Development Department rules will force all cities and suburbs to accept subsidized housing in the name of racial diversity, superceding all local zoning ordinances.

The Orwellian-sounding regulation would force some 1,200 municipalities to redraw zoning maps to racially diversify suburban neighborhoods.

Under the scheme, HUD plans to map every US neighborhood by race and publish “geospatial data” pinpointing racial imbalances. Areas deemed overly segregated will be forced to change their zoning laws to allow construction of subsidized and other affordable housing to bring more low-income minorities into “white suburbs.” HUD’s maps will be used to select affordable housing sites.

It’s part of the administration’s ambitious agenda to eliminate “racial segregation,” ZIP code by ZIP code, block by block, through the systematic dismantling of allegedly “exclusionary” building ordinances. In effect, federal bureaucrats will have the power to rezone your neighborhood.

Some cities are already complaining about the new regulation.

Here is how it will work. HUD and it’s agents will create racial maps and then “encourage” affordable housing construction in non-integrated neighborhoods.

The cost if a municipality doesn’t comply? Loss of HUD block grant funding. Or worse.

School busing was a previous attempt at “equality” of education, but that venture failed badly and was abandoned. So now HUD wants to bus people to your neighborhood … permanently.

Selective Enforcement

Of course, the HUD maps of racial divergence will not be applied equally. Does anyone believe that Democrat Nancy Pelosi will allow affordable housing projects in her swank San Francisco neighborhood? Will billionaires in the San Francisco Bay Area from Google, Apple, etc., allow affordable housing projects in Portola Valley, Los Altos Hills, etc? Will wealthy horse owners in Northern Virginia allow affordable housing projects plopped in the middle of their farms? Not likely.

This is massive Federal overreach and negates “voting with your feet.” That is, if you choose to move away from bad schools, crime, etc., the Federal government will negate your freedom of choice and plop the same problems in your new neighborhood.

And I doubt if President Obama will allow an affordable housing project next to whatever swank golf course he decides to move to after he leaves office.

No, the “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” Regulation is another attack on the middle class.

This new regulation comes from HUD, the same people that brought us “The National Homeownership Strategy: Partners in the American Dream” under President Bill Clinton that turned out to be a nightmare for millions of American households.

Here is Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman discussing freedom of choice versus government control of markets.
