Is Donald Trump a Racist? [NY Slimes]
New York Times ^ | 23 July 2016 | Nicholas Kristof

Posted on 08/22/2016 7:29:40 AM PDT by Vigilanteman

HAS the party of Lincoln just nominated a racist to be president? We shouldn’t toss around such accusations lightly, so I’ve looked back over more than 40 years of Donald Trump’s career to see what the record says.

One early red flag arose in 1973, when President Richard Nixon’s Justice Department — not exactly the radicals of the day — sued Trump and his father, Fred Trump, for systematically discriminating against blacks in housing rentals.

I’ve waded through 1,021 pages of documents from that legal battle, and they are devastating. Donald Trump was then president of the family real estate firm, and the government amassed overwhelming evidence that the company had a policy of discriminating against blacks, including those serving in the military.

For the media, anyone white is racist.

Didn’t this Kristof clown used to be a hairdresser before he became a liberal propagandist?

That’s a hell of a hit piece.

Remember when they looked back over 40 years with Al Gore, Robert Byrd, Bill Clinton,......

This is a new variation on the “Ben Smithing” of a person.

They right an article, then ‘prove’ or ‘disprove’ the article based on some one they hire to provide opposite data.

In this case they set out to prove their assertion, and they offer as ‘proof’ a government withc hunt. This particular witch hunt helped them pave to way to Carter implementing the ‘fair housing act’ which Clinton then used to destroy the houseing market.

“Is the NYT a Marxist organization?”


Wrong question.

The correct question is, “WHEN did the NYT become a Marxist organization?”

I would suggest that the answer is somewhere between the early 1930s (when Walter Duranty was a bought and paid for propagandist for Stalin) and the 1960s. No matter the answer, the NYT has been militating for the destruction of the United States for at least 50 years.

...discriminating against blacks in housing rentals.

Could there have been economic reasons? Nah. Must be racism.

Furthermore, this “story” was bouncing around as far back as 2011 on the web. The Trumps countersued the federal government, but settled in 1975 with a so-called “consent decree” where there was no guilt established but the Trumps affirm that they would not practice so-called “housing discrimination” in the future under the DOJ’s scrutiny.

The NYT was just as biased in their reporting against them then as they are now.

Seems to me, IIRC, the Apprentice chosen to head and manage the Trump project in Chicago was...

A black man in his late twenties.

Am I wrong and, isn’t he still employed by the Trump Corporation to this day completing that very project?

:: 2016 definition of the word “racist”: What one is called when one disagrees with a liberal ::

Properly, it is what one is called when they present societal and cultural FACTS to which a liberal has no answer.

There was a time when Monday morning came I had enough paper to wrap my fish guts for a week. Now I can’t find enough NYT to wrap a couple of fish. ??? Where did all of that paper go? If anything, they have saved a forest.

I first met Trump at a KKK rally. He shook my hand and announced that he was a “Grand Poo Bah” in the KKK. I was impressed with his title.

I just kept working at my table, making boondoggle nooses.
