They get this crap off MSM and just repeat it without any investigation.
What happened is that Fred Trump had a policy of not renting to ANYBODY on welfare. He was trying to keep his apartments from becoming the ghetto. The state found out about his policy and sent government agents of color to apply, stating that they were indeed on welfare, which of course, they were refused residency.
During the time, a lot of black people were on welfare in NY, so in retaliation, those people called the state and filed complaints on racial discrimination. They interviewed former workers who supported the claims, obviously disgruntled employees that left the company on not so good terms.
- The records, posted on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act website, include a 1974 interview with a former doorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn.
- A supervisor "told me that if a black person came to 2650 Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he, that is [redacted] was not there at the time, that I should tell him that the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment," the ex-doorman said.

Yea, that's probably why the case was dismissed. What is most relevant at this point is that the case was in fact dismissed as allegations. This is the part that lefties don't get.
