Rep. Peter King has the answer:
..."the Obama administration has long seen these settlements as a carrot and a stick operation to drive a wedge between people; on one hand to declare Republicans to be racist and on the other to get people to identify themselves as memberships in a race category or an ethnic category or gender category, give them a grievance and pay them off. It's a political endeavor on their part, and it strengthens them politically. Of course, they don't mind the country going deeper into debt for dishonest reasons, either..." More of the Obama game plan - divide America !!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the plan. Emphasize our differences, categorize us, lead us into "group think" based on our category, make us victims based on our category, promise "to get even", and 'poof'! You have a dependable voting bloc.
There is more to be gained, politically, by dividing us, than by uniting us.
