Who gets help after a hurricane or flood? FEMA will start tracking it by race
Nearly half of the people who ask for disaster aid don't get help. Is it discrimination?

In the wake of hurricanes, floods, and other disaster events, most Americans know that you can apply for aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, known as FEMA. What they don’t know is that since 2002, nearly half of those applicants were turned down.

Since that year, some 15 million households applied for support through the agency’s Individual Assistance Division; roughly 7.5 million households were denied help, according to an E&E news analysis. Journalists and watchdog groups have been offered little insight into why. Demographic information, such as race, ethnicity, sex, tribal membership, marital status, and education level, has been nonexistent, making it impossible to track the federal agency’s equity priorities and to screen for discrimination.

That could change.

There is an inordinate amount of BS posted at that website.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

What if half the claims filed were fraudulent?

All fraudulent claims will be identified as being made by White supremacists. This is all asinine the only race that should matter to FEMA is race of man. What are they going to do if the destruction happened to be in mostly White neighborhoods, deny the aid in the interest of cancelling out White privilege?

The obvious purpose of this is to start giving preference to POC victims under the false theory of racial-equity.

IOW, FEMA is exactly like the SBA.
