Unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans... Prying into most personal info at most local levels... All for purpose of 'racial and economic justice'...

Housing databaseThe 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 — white, Asian, black or African-American, and Hispanic/Latino — and publish “geospatial data” pinpointing racial imbalances. The agency proposes using nonwhite populations of 50% or higher as the threshold for classifying segregated areas. Federally funded cities deemed overly segregated will be pressured to change their zoning laws to allow construction of more subsidized housing in affluent areas in the suburbs, and relocate inner-city minorities to those predominantly white areas. HUD’s maps, which use dots to show the racial distribution or density in residential areas, will be used to select affordable-housing sites. HUD plans to drill down to an even more granular level, detailing the proximity of black residents to transportation sites, good schools, parks and even supermarkets. If the agency’s social engineers rule the distance between blacks and these suburban “amenities” is too far, municipalities must find ways to close the gap or forfeit federal grant money and face possible lawsuits for housing discrimination. Civil-rights groups will have access to the agency’s sophisticated mapping software, and will participate in city plans to re-engineer neighborhoods under new community outreach requirements. “By opening this data to everybody, everyone in a community can weigh in,” Obama said. “If you want affordable housing nearby, now you’ll have the data you need to make your case.”

Super-Coward Martin O’Malley Apologizes For Saying ‘All Lives Matter’ – Downtrend 8 downtrend Yesterday at the Netroots Nation conference in Phoenix, the angry black crowd demanded that a couple of democratic presidential hopefuls say, “black lives matter.” Socialist kook Bernie Sanders followed the orders, but former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley messed up bad by adding “all lives matter.” He was met with boos and hate so the liberal coward walked back his remarks and apologized for thinking that all human life is precious. When forced to swear allegiance to the #blacklivesmatter movement, O’Malley’s unfortunate words were: “Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter.” Before we get to O’Malley’s cowardly apology, let’s let Nancy Pelosi’s daughter explain why it’s horribly racist to say, “all lives matter.” Christine Pelosi tweeted this out minutes after O’Malley’s “offensive words: My fellow White Progressives, please understand “all lives matter” is received as erasure not inclusion to #BlackLivesMatter.

When asked if he understood that black lives matter more than white lives or all lives, he responded like this: “I certainly do and in fact I believe what I first said was ‘black lives matter’ before those other two phrases. And when I said those other two phrases I meant no disrespect to the point which I understand and that black lives matter is making,” said O’Malley.

Or to communicate in any way that I did not understand the tremendous passion, commitment, and feeling and depth of feeling that all of us should be attaching to this issue,” he finished. Wow, that was some serious groveling. Too bad it was all for nothing. Blacks will never forgive him for saying, “all lives matter.” O’Malley’s craven apology comes on the heels of Hillary Clinton having to beg for forgiveness for saying “all lives matter” in a black church last month. This is beyond ridiculous and here are a few points we can take away from this: It is now the official Democratic Party platform that black lives are more important than the lives of people from other races.

From a British Loyalist standpoint, they all engaged in armed insurrection and tried to destroy the country as a bunch of colonies ruled by Britain. And the Confederates thought they were engaging in armed insurrection to found a new country somewhat like the FF's did. You have a problem putting yourself in others shoes, don't you? Which ones tried to destroy the nation by armed rebellion and then continue to fly the flag that represents white supremacy......? Washington, Jefferson, Madison were slave owners, established a country which held slaves, and have statues and buildings and cities and states named after them. Yes, they did.....which of them tried to destroy the nation by armed insurrection..........they fought for the nation.......
