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.

Old man Trump had former felons taking car of his limousines that were garaged in Brooklyn, and I’m sure most of them were black. (Back in the 50’s) I would like to see reports on the Clintons in the late 80’s while in Arkansas. Noooooo, can’t go there.

Does Kristof point out that Trump was a Democrat at that time?

NYT back to this meme? I guess Trumps message to blacks is getting through- shocked that a Republican would even ask for their vote./s

You could ask them how many blacks they have on the newsroom payroll right now.

The Left never defines “racist.” It has been documented that “racist” and “sexist” are two in a long line of inflammatory words that the DNC uses purely for political gain.

I think people are getting wise to this b/s and simply move on.

I’d rather doubt it. Hairdressing requires some actual skill.

Well he’s white, so yes he is a racist.

You can tell just by looking at him he judges everyone by skin color.

The gasp of more fake journalism.

Trump gains in the polls among blacks, trot out the “racist” template. Once he starts getting better numbers with women, they’ll trot out the “misogynist” meme.

The same paper that would publish the evidence of genocide of Jews during WWII to support their agenda?

Note the clear distinction. Some hot shot lawyer may have argued that race was the motive for certain people not being allowed to rent in a certain property. But as you suggest, that may not have been the actual motive 43 years ago.

But what is not debatable, not over a generation ago, not subject to any other interpretation, is the murder rate today in certain Leftwing afflicted Black neighborhoods, today. Trump has correctly identified a truly terrible problem in many cities controlled by Hillary Clinton supporting groups.

Trump is not campaigning to force landlords to make debatable decisions; he is campaigning to save Black lives from real danger; to save Black families from having to live in real fear, day in and day out.

Meanwhile, the New York Times continues their vendetta against the one candidate offering hope for a better tomorrow--offering realistic hope for a better tomorrow. Put the business in perspective, and let's restore sanity in Washington.

Who is denying adequate Police protection in afflicted neighborhoods? The Obama/Clinton Party that over and over again has taken the side of thugs against career Police Officers. Who invite & honor anti-Police Groups to their convention.

"One early 'red flag' arose in 1973..."

Well, at least he's focusing on vital pertinentia... Trump's father's alleged rental policies fifty years ago. How very informative and stuff, huh?
