...President Obama intends to close "persistent gaps" between whites and minorities in everything from credit scores and homeownership to test scores and graduation rates.
His remedy — short of new affirmative-action legislation — is to sue financial companies, schools and employers based on "disparate impact" complaints — a stealthy way to achieve racial preferences, opposed 2 to 1 by Americans.
Under this broad interpretation of civil-rights law, virtually any organization can be held liable for race bias if it maintains a policy that negatively impacts one racial group more than another — even if it has no racist motive and applies the policy evenly across all groups.
Equal Outcomes
This means that even race-neutral rules for mortgage underwriting and consumer credit scoring potentially can be deemed racist if prosecutors can produce statistics showing they tend to result in adverse outcomes for blacks or Latinos.
Already, Attorney General Eric Holder has used the club of disparate-impact lawsuits to beat almost $500 million in loan set-asides and other claims out of the nation's largest banks.
In addition to the financial settlements — which include millions in funding for affordable-housing activists — Bank of America, Wells Fargo and SunTrust have all agreed to adopt more minority-friendly lending policies...
Hiring Criminals
...Those who reject minority applicants for credit cards or charge them higher loan rates had better be prepared to prove to Cordray's diversity cops they aren't racist. Many have already decided it's safer to give black and Latino applicants preferential treatment, which of course is racism of another kind.
Other targets of the administration's "racial justice" juggernaut include: standardized academic testing, professional licensing examinations, employee background checks, voter ID requirements, student disciplinary codes, prison sentencing guidelines.
The goal is to equalize outcomes based on race without regard for performance or merit.

“The way to fight this is for EVERYONE to claim to be African-American.
Overwhelm the system.
Next time you fill out a form asking for your race, check the box next to African-American.”
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Out Alinsky Alinsky. Plus, this worked so well in the DMV that we need to expand it to the private sector.
I just needed to put a new tag line in.
This being Veterans Day. How about applying veterans preference points to non federal jobs.
Right. Businesses will just hire blacks and not insist they work, just to keep the feds off their case. These black employees will sit among the white employees and display their smugness over getting a paycheck without needing to work. The end result will be whites HATING blacks to a degree this country has never seen.
Yes, I work my head off 10 years to get a beach house. I’m white. A Hispanic wants a beach house. ubama gives him one immediately to equalize
Yep. No matter how stupid or lazy a person is, he must be rewarded equally with the intelligent and/or diligent person. It’s only fair. Of course under this rule, why bother trying?
I look forward to my AA airline pilot, my AA brain surgeon, and my AA nuclear weapons specialist. All will be nice complements to our AA President.
It's the sound of phones ringing at Aryan Nation offices . . .
yeah I guess they will have to fire everybody and hire 88% whites.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
prove I am not.

This is already the case.

Yep, the banks went from reluctant compliance to (thanks to competitive pressure from Countrywide) eager compliance. And when the whole house of cards came crashing down, they were castigated for "predatory lending practices."
No need to wonder why there've been no prosecutions. I'm sure that any eager-crusader Dems have been told - make that shown - that the Dems' own policies were a major cause of the blow-up.
That's the growth vector of the new fascism. If government's your business partner, then government takes the fall with you. It's not as easy for the liberals to use the old dodge as it used to be.
“Next time you fill out a form asking for your race, check the box next to African-American.”
And you can back up your claim by using any anthropology text book from any university in america.
NO no no....the correct way is to check the box “Native American”
If you were born in the US, you would be telling the truth and cannot be considered fraudulent since anyone born here is “Native”
Of course, I'm not too sure of the Supreme Court right now on anything.
Leni
I have been saying that for years. Parents please....all newborn babies should at least should have their race listed as “other.”
what about women? not a minority anymore? no, according to actual numbers, but come on, really?
Hasn’t the racial preference juggernaut been unleashed since the 60’s?
