This is beyond belief.
Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database New York Post
Every zip code mapped by race, and if your neighborhood is over 50% White, get ready for some diversification.
Yes, he wants move us around based on race, socially engineer every neighborhood in this country.
If you think we've seen fundamental transformation up until now, it appears we haven't seen anything yet.
Wonder what he's saving for last...
I pray there is enough of this great nation, under attack from within, to restore after his traitorous term ends.
This is standard statistical analysis on publicly available data on things like race, gender and income. It's the same stuff that has been available through the census agency forever.
Go here to this census website and look at the information that has been collected since Nixon. Click me >

The NY Post is a rightwing tabloid that depends on the fact that you don't have the intellectual resources to question their bullshit, which is tireless. When I lived in the city I used to buy it because it's actually quite funny. Now, the GOP has created an industry of fake news for idiots like the OP.
However, if the OP does want to see how government uses data collection, he should actually set the bar higher and read some Foucault, who has created the most intellectually dense and well-researched work in this area.
Governmentality Notes on the Thought of Michel Foucault
Lastly, everybody knows that the OP is a well-meaning but very under-educated
apparatchik for the rightwing. We all know he said nothing when Bush created the largest, most secretive surveillance bureaucracy in American history. The Patriot Act instituted the most sweeping data collection a supposedly free society has ever seen, from internet to phone & bank records to library checkouts and book purchases. And the OP just rolled over. And don't tell me the Left rolled over too because the Left is the party of government, so of course the Left believed that government was competent and ethical enough to create a Soviet-style surveillance bureaucracy without compromising civil rights and privacy.
But the Right is different. Their role in American politics is to push back against government power, no matter how good the cause or how noble the intentions to help the American people. The Right believes that biggest evil of all is giving government more power. They tell us that government doesn't have the competence to run a laundromat, and that they can't solve big problems without making them wore. Yet, when Bush started talking about eradicating evil in the world and remaking whole Arab nations, people like the OP went along with it. [Talk about an impossibly big project with unintended consequences and expenses]. And when Bush said he needed to give Washington bureaucrats unprecedented power to spy on American citizens and collect data on them, people like the OP simply went along with it, obediently. And now he's worried that Obama is doing standard census-level data analysis about race and income so that he can more effectively utilize the benign powers of HUD...
And we're supposed to take him seriously.
