Donald Trump- Sued for Not Renting to Black Americans

Donald Trump loves to promote the fiction that he is a self made man. But he doesn't like to be reminded of his participation in rent discrimination during his process earning his fortune.

Of course not only did he come from a wealthy family, not only did his Daddy bankroll him, but his daddy also made Donald, fresh out of college, the president of the family company- Trump Management Corporation.

And it was as President of Trump Management- that Donald Trump was sued by the Justice Department for refusing to rent to African Americans and hispanics- violating the Fair Housing Act. Charges that Trump ultimately settled.

Inside the government’s racial bias case against Donald Trump’s company, and how he fought it

NEW YORK — When a black woman asked to rent an apartment in a Brooklyn complex managed by Donald Trump’s real estate company, she said she was told that nothing was available. A short time later, a white woman who made the same request was invited to choose between two available apartments.


The two would-be renters on that July 1972 day were actually undercover “testers” for a government-sanctioned investigation to determine whether Trump Management Inc. discriminated against minorities seeking housing at properties across Brooklyn and Queens.


Federal investigators also gathered evidence. Trump employees had secretly marked the applications of minorities with codes, such as “No. 9” and “C” for “colored,” according to government interview accounts filed in federal court. The employees allegedly directed blacks and Puerto Ricans away from buildings with mostly white tenants, and steered them toward properties that had many minorities, the government filings alleged

In October 1973, the Justice Department filed a civil rights case that accused the Trump firm[both Donald and his father were individually named and sued- not just the firm], whose complexes contained 14,000 apartments, of violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

The case, one of the biggest federal housing discrimination suits to be brought during that time, put a spotlight on the family empire led by its 27-year-old president, Donald Trump, and his father, Fred Trump, the chairman

This from the man who loves to brag that he has a 'great relationship the blacks'

He just didn't want to have to rent his property to them.
In 1972 when Trump was 27 years old, and nothing since. When Hillary was 27 she defended a child predator in court by claiming the 12 year old he had raped had been enticed by the child and got him off with one year of jail time. In the years since he was 27 Trump has had no complaints about discrimination but Hillary has made a career of defaming women who claimed to have been harassed, molested and even raped by her predator husband. Surely a woman who has been so unscrupulous throughout her life cannot be trusted to lead the nation.

Nothing since? Trump has been sued thousands of times.

Trump has made a career of slandering, defaming and suing those who dare criticize him.

Surely a 'man' who has been so unscrupolous throughout his life cannot be trusted to lead the nation when his entire career has been nothing more than self agrandisement.
 
A forty-four year old case??? I agree with Dreadnaught you guys are really digging the bottom of the barrel. Trump's family and their managers at that time were in charge of some of those real estate complexes. Donald Trump joined his families enterprises in 1968 when he was 22 years old. 1972 would have been four years later so it would be my guess that he wasn't making all of the decisions at that point. What a fail on your part to try to dig up some old turd and lay it at the feet of a man who actually sued the elitist who were discriminating in Palm Beach.

Donald Trump was the President of the company. Yes- his daddy had hired him for that position- but Donald was the President- which is why he was named personally in the suit. Because corporate officers can be held personally liable.

Yes- I know that Trump always claims he is NEVER in charge when things go to hell.

All prominenT wealthy business people are sued and surely the Clintons have been the subject of numerous lawsuits and criminal investigations for most of their adult lives. However, Hillary's latest malicious slur about Trump's problems with accusations of discrimination when he was the brand new president of the company at age 27, is not indicative of a continuing pattern of behavior while Hillary's long history of defaming women who claimed they had been harassed, molested and raped by her predator husband was presaged by her despicable claim a 12 year old girl had enticed her rapist. The woman clearly has no internal moral compass.
 
1972? Really? Really scraping the bottom of that barrel, huh...
You think he's changed since that time?

Mexicans are rapists?

Ban Muslims?
A lot of illegals are rapist and rapugees are already proving what a disaster they are in many areas.

I understand you can't stand Donald Trump but you should look at that a little better before making your claims. "The DOJ claimed that a former rental agent for the Trumps, Donald Herman".

Of course it's a malicious slur by an empty pants suit. This occurred over forty years ago and there has been no claim of discrimination since. Hillary is just bringing this up now to try to drown out all the information coming out about the sea of corruption both she and Bill have been wallowing in for years. Every time Hillary gets caught with her hands in the cookie jar she comes out with another malicious slur about Trump to try to distract voters from the facts about her.

so, what was the result? Did they win the suit?
Trump had to take out a big ad in the newspaper asking blacks to come and rent from him.
