The Answer Is Yes

"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," FoxNews.com reports:

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.

"Unfortunately, in too many of our hardest hit communities, no matter how hard a child or her parents work, the life chances of that child, even her lifespan, is determined by the zip code she grows up in. This is simply wrong," he said.

Well, now we know why the War on Poverty--announced by President Johnson in his 1964 State of the Union address--was a failure: because poverty is caused by ZIP codes, which were introduced in 1963.

But wouldn't a more expedient solution be to order the Postal Service to gerrymander the ZIP code maps to ensure diversity?

Of course blaming the lack of motivation to leave a welfare and ignorance-driven culture on the location of the culture is absurd. Would Donovan force some whites into the neighborhood (which would force some blacks to go... where?). The absurdity of this Leftist top down dictated Politically Correct policy is obvious, but not to those in the brain prison of the Leftist PC Narrative.
