Paul Sperry writes<\/a>: A key part of President Obama\u2019s legacy will be the fed\u2019s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of \u201cracial and economic justice.\u201d
\nUnbeknown to most Americans, Obama\u2019s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school \u2014 all to document \u201cinequalities\u201d between minorities and whites.
\nThis Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama already is using to make \u201cdisparate impact\u201d cases against: banks that don\u2019t make enough prime loans to minorities; schools that suspend too many blacks; cities that don\u2019t offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities; and employers who turn down African-Americans for jobs due to criminal backgrounds.
\nBig Brother Barack wants the databases operational before he leaves office, and much of the data in them will be posted online.
\nSo civil-rights attorneys and urban activist groups will be able to exploit them to show patterns of \u201cracial disparities\u201d and \u201csegregation,\u201d even if no other evidence of discrimination exists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
