‘No Vacancies’ For Blacks: How Trump Got His Start

I wonder how many of those people were invited into Mr. Trump's home?
Makes me think of the other racist pig, Donald Sterling. He was good at photo ops, too.

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!

Only in your tiny little bigoted mind.

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.

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

Except Donald Trump has done no such thing.

And I guess Mr. Trump didn't try to ruin the American Indian's casino business in NY state, either.

From that right wing rag the New York Times.

"Indian reservations across the United States have grappled for years with chronic rates of crime higher than all but a handful of the nation’s most violent cities. But the Justice Department, which is responsible for prosecuting the most serious crimes on reservations, files charges in only about half of Indian Country murder investigations and turns down nearly two-thirds of sexual assault cases, according to new federal data.

The country’s 310 Indian reservations have violent crime rates that are more than two and a half times higher than the national average, according to data compiled by the Justice Department. American Indian women are 10 times as likely to be murdered than other Americans. They are raped or sexually assaulted at a rate four times the national average, with more than one in three having either been raped or experienced an attempted rape.

The low rate of prosecutions for these crimes by United States attorneys, who along with agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation generally have jurisdiction for the most serious crimes on reservations, has been a longstanding point of contention for tribes, who say it amounts to a second-class system of justice that encourages law breaking. Prosecutors, however, say they turn down most reservation cases because of a lack of admissible evidence."



Seems like Trump's primary accusation was completely true.


Run along now.

Trump has been the Public Eye for 30 years and didn't need to say anything racist until he needed Republican votes....

 

[sealybobo]

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.

Trump will do everything he can? Suuure he will dipshit

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.

IF he won, that would be my hope

Like father like son. Trump has a well-documented history of racism long before he ran for president. Even the federal government can attest to that.

Horse shit.

So you are saying that Hillary Clinton was soliciting donations and endorsements from well documented racist, that is if Trump is really a racist.

If Trump was a racist for all these years then Hillary and all the black ledership that posed with him for pictures and clamored for his support and endorsement are just as fucking racist, you stupid ass.

I am saying that the legal teams will spin and maneuver like bats out of hell and for fools like you, who dont know their legal ass from a procedural hole in the ground, to try and build some case from any of it is simply stupidity worthy of idiots like you.

Utter bullshit.

Yet another example of T2T hardware working overtime.

 

[racialreality9]

I don't like living with blacks, if they are not criminals then they are loud and obnoxious and don't take care of their homes.

I take a lot of trouble to live away from them.
