Essentially, all you need to know about Leftist blacks at the NAACP convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, below:
Ah yes, the accepting, welcoming, all-inclusive nature of Demorats and Leftists, willing to listen to other persons’ viewpoints and calmly discuss issues of note.
This is typical and true to form.
Thanks for being so obvious and so close-minded, NAACP supporters. You merely confirm what people already think about you: you’re pretty much all of the intolerant hive mind.
In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America’s neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.
The policy is called, “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.” It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July.
What? “Social engineering” in the Obama Administration? I find that simply difficult to believe.
Data from this discrimination database would be used with zoning laws, housing finance policy, infrastructure planning and transportation to alleviate alleged discrimination and segregation.
Please note the operative word in the above sentence: “alleged.”
And sanity weighs in for just a brief moment:
“This is just the latest of a series of attempts by HUD to social engineer the American people,” said Ed Pinto, of the American Enterprise Institute. “It started with public housing and urban renewal, which failed spectacularly back in the 50’s and 60’s. They tried it again in the 90’s when they wanted to transform house finance, do away with down payments, and the result was millions of foreclosures and financial collapse.”
Some fear the rule will open the floodgates to lawsuits by HUD — a weapon the department has already used in places like Westchester County, N.Y., where mayors and attorneys representing several towns, like Cortlandt, are writing HUD to protest burdensome fair housing mandates that go far beyond those agreed to in a 2009 settlement with HUD.
Wait. This wouldn’t punish people like, say, the ADA has punished businesses small and large for years, becoming the proverbial cash cow for tort lawyers — would it?
Potentially the most disturbing paragraph in the entire article:
Also troublesome to critics is that the HUD secretary, in announcing this proposed rule, blamed poverty on zip codes – rather than other socio-economic factors that studies have shown contribute to poverty.
Again: I don’t make these things up. I am merely an aggregator of the news from around the world, with opinions mixed in. But sometimes these things simply write themselves. From ABCNews.com:
George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue a family who was trapped in an overturned vehicle, police said today.
Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of Dana and Mark Gerstle and their two children, who were trapped inside a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had rolled over after traveling off the highway in Sanford, Fla. at approximately 5:45 p.m. Thursday, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route Route 46, police said. The crash site is less than a mile from where Zimmerman shot Martin.
By the time police arrived, two people – including Zimmerman – had already helped the family get out of the overturned car, the sheriff’s office said. No one was reported to be injured.
Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash and left after speaking with the deputy, police said.
It’s the first known sighting of Zimmerman since he left the courtroom following his controversial acquittal last week on murder charges for the death of Martin. Zimmerman, 29, shot and killed Martin, 17, in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012. The jury determined that Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense.
Once again, the racist George Zimmerman at work. I’m certain there are witnesses who will confirm that Zimmerman glanced into the cab of the vehicle with purposeful scrutiny in order to determine the race of the persons he would potentially rescue.
If they were white Hispanics, they would be subject to his salving efforts. If not, to hell with them.
Once again, clear and obvious evidence of Zimmerman’s blatant racism. That evil, evil George Zimmerman.
President Obama’s personal remarks Friday on his reaction to the George Zimmerman verdict have been praised by many, including the parents of Trayvon Martin, but black talk-show host Tavis Smiley says it’s too little too late.
The PBS commentator, appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” was sharply critical of the president’s “weak as pre-sweetened Kool-Aid” response to a Florida jury’s decision clearing Mr. Zimmerman in the 2012 shooting death of the 17-year-old Trayvon.
And there you go, thank God. Tavis Smiley has finally shed his fur and come out as a complete racist. Let the gloves come off and the Race Cards be thrown. This brother is only a “brutha” to blacks and no friend to any other ethnicity.
