Before I go on, you have to know a few things. First, you have to know that the the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has a Community Development Block Grant program. The CDBG program gives millions of dollars of your tax money to cities all across this nation, supposedly to help the cities make various improvements for the people living in those cities. Part of the funds received by the cities can be given to private charities. That's what my city was doing.
The second thing you have to know is that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids the use of tax money in ways that discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity. John F. Kennedy put it this way in 1963: "Simple justice requires that public funds, to which all taxpayers of all races contribute, not be spent in any fashion which encourages, entrenches, subsidizes or results in racial discrimination."
The third thing you need to know is that charities aren't allowed to ask whether a charity client is an illegal alien or not. This is critical to know in this foreign land, where actual citizens are treated like second class citizens and illegal aliens are treated like first class citizens.
I started gathering facts and statistics about the city and the charities. This wasn't too difficult, because HUD requires the charities that receive HUD money to report the race/ethnicity of the people it serves. Presumably this is to root out cleverly disguised discrimination. This system was set up back in the old America, to keep evil whites from discriminating against noble blacks. I obtained the relevant HUD reports and then compared the figures against data from the 2000 census.
The census data shows that the city is 56.8% white and 31.8% Hispanic. Asian/Pacific Islanders make up 7.4% of the population. Blacks are 1.2% of the population. Others are 2.8% of the population.
I figured that if there were no racial/ethnic discrimination going on in the charities that there should be some racial/ethnic proportionality in the percentages of those served. I found just the opposite. Here's what four of the charities have reported for the period 7/1/02 to 3/30/03. Remember, each of these charities received thousands of tax dollars:
Charity A served 462 people; 3 were white (.0065%); 459 were Hispanic (99.35%).
Charity B served 182 people; 1 was white (.0055%); 45 were Asian/pacific Islanders (24.73%) 135 were Hispanic (74.18%).
Charity C served 152 people; 1 was white (.0065%); 151 were Hispanic (99.34%)
Charity D served 268 people; 2 were white (.0074%); 266 were Hispanic (99.25%)
A few months before I had obtained the above mentioned HUD report, I had looked at Charity A's earlier HUD report. The numbers then were pretty much as they are on this latest report. I complained to HUD about Charity A and supplied the statistics that seemed to point to the discrimination; if not de jure, then at least de facto. I thought this was a charity to complain about, because it was a sort of drop-in youth center. I reasoned that as a youth center, there should be a mixture of different ethnicities from the local schools. As you can see above, that's not what was going on, and 99.35% of the youths served were Hispanic.
After I sent in my complaint, a couple of months passed and then I got a letter from HUD saying that they had investigated and found no racial discrimination. I wasn't pleased with the answer so I dug deeper by using the California Public Records Act and learned from papers I obtained from the local government that the HUD investigation apparently involved little more than HUD looking at literature put out by the charity and then calling the charity on the telephone and asking if they discriminated. Of course, the charity said they didn't. I imagined the telephone conversation going something like this: HUD: "Do you discriminate based on race/ethnicity?" CHARITY A: "Nope." HUD: "Good." Case closed. The fact that 99.35% of the people served by the charity are Hispanic in a city that is only 31.8% Hispanic apparently didn't, and still doesn't, raise any red flags at HUD. Had the races/ethnicities been reversed, I imagined, at that time, that things might have come out differently. But I was then still thinking I was in America.
In my further investigation, I also discovered that Charity A not only gets HUD CDBG money, but it also gets free rent, paid for by taxpayers, in one of the local schools. This free rent is valued on Charity A's Federal Form 990 at $36,000. Charity A also holds all sorts of social events on school property. So, the appearance given is that here's a case where whites seem to be discriminated against AND it is with OUR tax money AND on public school property, AND in favor of suspected illegal aliens.
So, with all of the above in mind, I wondered why there was no outrage aimed at HUD, or the charities, or the school district that gives this free rent.
