Actually this is totally untrue.

He was accused of being a racist many times. When this scandal happened for starters, and he had one more like it I believe.

 

[Lakhota]

Donald Trump has a long and documented history of racism.

The use of racism to garner publicity is not a new tool for Donald Trump.

In 1989, after the brutal rape of a woman in Central Park, five African-American teens were convicted of the crime. Years later, when DNA evidence called into question the conviction, all five were released from prison and received a $41 million settlementfrom New York City.

Before the initial trials had even begun, Trump used the case to stoke racial tensions in the city, spending $85,000 to run full-page ads in four newspapers including The New York Times and the Daily News. With bold headlines, the ads called for New York to “bring back the death penalty.”

Yusef Salaam, one of the young men Trump insisted receive the death penalty told The Guardian that Trump was the “firestarter.” Civil rights attorney Michael Warren says Trump “poisoned the minds of many people who lived in New York and who, rightfully, had a natural affinity for the victim.”

Donald Trump's Four Decades Of Racism

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump exploited the death of a black mother in Chicago on Friday, saying it was a clear example of why African-Americans should vote for him.

Nykea Aldridge, the cousin of Chicago Bulls player Dwyane Wade and a mother of four, was killed on Friday as she pushed a baby in a stroller. Aldridge was not the intended target. Wade tweeted about his cousin’s death on Friday, calling for an end to “senseless gun violence.”

Less than 24 hours later, Trump was exploiting Aldridge’s death in a tweet in which he misspelled Wade’s first name. Trump later deleted the tweet and posted another, correcting the spelling of Wade’s name.

Trump took out a full-page racist ad against the Central Park 5. He has been proven completely wrong on that and has never recanted.

Blacks will be voting Trump for the same reasons we all will be voting Trump -
Jobs, a robust economy, and a safer U. S.

Well, I'm not voting for Trump for those reasons.

I started rooting for Trump during Primaries when he didn't back away from his completely legitimate remarks about illegal Mexicans in the face of all the leftist media pressure.

Soon after the narrative switched from "Haha Trump keeps making an ass of himself" to "Stop voting for him, this isn't funny anymore!".

Beside, as long he's making leftist blood boil, he'll have my vote.

First of all, all of this is bullshit.

Second of all, you believe a KKK member is salvaged by simply saying "I am sorry" (I am referring to Hillary's mentor, Mr. Byrd). So this counts for jack shit even if true.

Trump will do everything he can to address the real problems concerning the black community. Hillary on the other hand will just pander to them and keep them in the plantation.

She seemed like the model tenant. A 33-year-old nurse who was living at the Y.W.C.A. in Harlem, she had come to rent a one-bedroom at the still-unfinished Wilshire Apartments in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood of Queens. She filled out what the rental agent remembers as a “beautiful application.” She did not even want to look at the unit.

There was just one hitch: Maxine Brown was black.

Stanley Leibowitz, the rental agent, talked to his boss, Fred C. Trump.

“I asked him what to do and he says, ‘Take the application and put it in a drawer and leave it there,’” Mr. Leibowitz, now 88, recalled in an interview.

It was late 1963 — just months before President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the landmark Civil Rights Act — and the tall, mustachioed Fred Trump was approaching the apex of his building career. He was about to complete the jewel in the crown of his middle-class housing empire: seven 23-story towers, called Trump Village, spread across nearly 40 acres in Coney Island.

He was also grooming his heir. His son Donald, 17, would soon enroll at Fordham University in the Bronx, living at his parents’ home in Queens and spending much of his free time touring construction sites in his father’s Cadillac, driven by a black chauffeur.

“His father was his idol,” Mr. Leibowitz recalled. “Anytime he would come into the building, Donald would be by his side.”

Over the next decade, as Donald J. Trump assumed an increasingly prominent role in the business, the company’s practice of turning away potential black tenants was painstakingly documented by activists and organizations that viewed equal housing as the next frontier in the civil rights struggle.

The Justice Department undertook its own investigation and, in 1973, sued Trump Management for discriminating against blacks. Both Fred Trump, the company’s chairman, and Donald Trump, its president, were named as defendants. It was front-page news, and for Donald, amounted to his debut in the public eye.

“Absolutely ridiculous,” he was quoted as saying of the government’s allegations.

Looking back, Mr. Trump’s response to the lawsuit can be seen as presaging his handling of subsequent challenges, in business and in politics. Rather than quietly trying to settle — as another New York developer had done a couple of years earlier — he turned the lawsuit into a protracted battle, complete with angry denials, character assassination, charges that the government was trying to force him to rent to “welfare recipients” and a $100 million countersuit accusing the Justice Department of defamation.

When it was over, Mr. Trump declared victory, emphasizing that the consent decree he ultimately signed did not include an admission of guilt.

Indeed he will, for sure. Trump has already addressed the issues, next he will find solutions.

Hillary's only issue is how to extract maximum amounts of votes from them, by using lies and rhetoric. Keeping them in the plantation.

Wow...Lakhota and libs ARE freaking out that blacks are abandoning Hillary. Funny...

Where's the evidence that blacks are abandoning Hillary?

Quanell X leader of the New Black Panther Party in Houston, is calling on blacks to Consider Trump

When the Black Panthers are 'endorsing' Trump, Blacks are ABANDONING Hillary / the DNC...

WOW!

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

LMAO You gotta laugh at the Leftist Clown Truck of perpetual liars and victims.. Donald Trump has been in the public eye for over 35 yrs and NEVER ONCE has he been accused of being a "racist." The Left is running scared, as well they should be.. They have herded and enslaved the black man and woman for generations.. Look at the cities they have run in to the ground.. Donald Trump is correct..

Yep. Exactly as the Drumpf's have always done.

Except Donald Trump has done no such thing.

 

[Correll]

While Liebowitz was allegedly "talking to his boss, Fred Trump, the democrat party sponsored KKK maniacs were murdering Civil Rights activists in Mississippi and democrats in congress were fighting against LBJ's "civil rights act". Long time former KKK member Robert Byrd served as a democrat senator well into the 21st century.

Yeah, and Byrd apologized and evolved - while most of the old racist Democrats migrated into the Republican party.

LIe.

Lack of dna evidence is not evidence of innocence.

Those reversals on those convictions was a massive injustice.

Oh, and for you.

They are? You seem to be the only one who thinks that. Below is Pew Research data for August 2016. 5th line down.

Trump will move to implement his Trade and Immigration polices to reward his core supporters, lower class whites, and to ensure re-election.

As jobs and wages for the Working Class increases, blacks will disproportionately benefit.


Because Trump is a nationalist and a populist, or is at least running as one and will thus be locked into governing as one. If he wants a good legacy.

Which he will.
