Nullifying Obama's Plot to Forcefully “Diversify” Your Neighborhood

Diogenes Middle Finger

Many took Barack Obama’s threat to “Fundamentally Transform America” as a bit of a joke. That was a mistake. It’s one of the few things he didn’t lie about. The way I understand the American Dream, is in part getting an education, working to make good living, buying a home and raising a family in a safe neighborhood of your choice. But he had other ideas for America.

New American – The Obama administration’s race-obsessed decree, known as the “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” (AFFH) rule, became a lightning rod for criticism by conservatives and constitutionalists last year. A coalition of Republican lawmakers, facing outrage among their constituents, tried to defund the unconstitutional scheme while Obama was still in office. However, establishment Republicans quietly worked behind the scenes to betray conservatives by supporting Obama’s radical power grab and handing even more tax money to Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Developmentto transform and “diversify” American neighborhoods.


Legislation has now been introduced in Congress to defund and overturn a controversial Obama administration decree. The new bill would also reverse the attempted unconstitutional usurpation of power over local zoning decisions by the federal government and the unelected regional authorities charged with managing the transformation. And the measure would end a “geospatial database” mandated under the scheme to track the racial and income composition of each area, a key element of the scheme to redistribute people based on their melanin content and earnings. 

The AFFH would indeed fundamentally transform America, down to the most minute local decisions.And of course, by redistributing people across America using federal funds, and hijacking control over local zoning decisions, the Obama scheme would also fundamentally transform politics by diluting the conservative vote in communities across the country. Similar schemes are being pushed at the global level by the United Nations. Under the expansive regulations, cities and towns that accept federal money from the HUD would be required to submit to vast federal controls over their policy decisions.

For instance, if a community receives an HUD grant, the AFFH purports to mandate costly demographic analyses at the local and regional level to determine whether there are enough low-income and minority residents. If the HUD determines that not enough welfare recipients live in your neighborhood, for instance, the bureaucracy would declare your community to be “out of balance” and not in compliance with the AFFH. In response, the massive bureaucracy would use taxpayer funds — or borrowed money, considering the $20 trillion and counting in national debt — to file lawsuits against the community and impose its will. That might take the form of building more government-subsidized low-income housing in your neighborhood to attract enough welfare recipients to put your community back in balance.

In fact, HUD has been involved in such scheming for years, with targeted communities going up against the might of Uncle Sam. In Westchester County, New York, the Obama administration went to war with the community and its elected officials because they did not have enough low-income, high-density housing developments to satisfy federal bureaucrats. When local officials and residents fought back, the administration sued them, and even went so far as to seek a gag order against the county executive who was leading the fight against Obama’s AFFH.

In short, it’s Obama’s Marxist Social Engineering by the federal government on a massive scale.
