     The Dept. of Housing and Urban Development<\/a> has finalized a rule<\/a> that sets the standard for determining whether discrimination has occurred: The lack of equality of results.\u00a0 In effect, once could be found guilty of discriminating even without discrimination actually occurring!\u00a0 To whit<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“This means that you can be found liable for illegally discriminating in a housing-related matter by following some policy that has a disproportionate effect, even though the policy is nondiscriminatory by its terms, in its application, and in its intent.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So much for \u00fee olde mens rea<\/em> where a persons ill intent was needed to be established.\u00a0 Such rules can in and of themselves create discrimination<\/a> by in effect forcing people to take race into consideration, and treat people unequally on that basis, in order to have a result that superficially seems more “equal<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

     The idea that there can be discrimination without actual discrimination is not a new idea, but part of the core ethos of the grievance mongers who believe that society is inherently racist (or sexist, or homophobic, &c.), and that this “kyriarchy<\/a>” (or other such boogie-man) exists because society is inherently racist or bigoted, thus requiring unequal treatment to counter the “privilege” of whites\/straights\/men\/&c.<\/p>\n

     The idea that “equality” consists of simply the results being proportionally similar to some demographic breakdown is pernicious, at best.\u00a0 Rather then actually dealing with the core problems of why such unequal results, forcing an equality of outcome by hook or crook results in the root reasons for that inequality being covered up<\/a>, and even allowed to fester.<\/p>\n

     It is the leftist trope that people are reduced simply to categories<\/a>.\u00a0 It is also a leftist trope that it is the responsibility of Leviathan, i.e.<\/em> the state, to manipulate<\/a> these groups like chess pieces on a backgammon board until they achieve the superficial utopia they want.\u00a0 For them, discrimination is perfectly good if it is done by the correct people to correct target of people for the correct reasons<\/em>.\u00a0 Insisting on a superficial equality of results, while allowing the fundamental reason for why that unequal result to fester and grow worse, requires a countering discrimination to achieve this equality of outcome.\u00a0 Since this can not result in the fundamental problems to actually get fixed, a perpetual justification is created for discrimination and unequal treatment, and thus a need for an enlightened elite to enforce that discrimination.<\/p>\n

     Ultimately, as Chief Justice John Roberts said: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
