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.

The media is frothing at the mouth..

Exactly as predicted. The media is non-stop trying to destroy anyone who threatens the left’s stranglehold on power.
Nothing like that is happening for hillary.

[SoFloFreeper]

[Gaffer]

Produce a real application or STFU.

[eyeamok]

WOW, So ifwe go back in time 50 years maybe there is something?? I doubt it, But With Hillary you only need to go back 50 SECONDS, 50 days, 50 Months, to find MASSIVE CORRUPTION. and if you went back 50 years she would be sitting on the LAP of GRAND KLEAGLE, KKK LEADER ROBERT C BYRD.

[SaraJohnson]

Great point. They are liars.

[Mears]

If Sen. Byrd could get away with it,so should Trump.

I’m so sick of the racial stuff——it NEVER ends.

An event that happened 53 years ago while the Donald was only 17.

“beautiful application.”

Did it have ribbons and bows?

I didn’t know Fred Trump was running for president.

[PapaBear3625]

So, this is from 1963 and Trump’s FATHER is accused of bias, and this is relevant to 2016.

[cardinal4]

I was removed from a FB group for commenting on the fact that Hillary was a known quantity while we didn’t know what Trump would do. The subsequent 20 posts were about how racist Trump was. Oh, this group was started by a Cruzer..

[RegulatorCountry]

If only Trump were a Democrat, it’d all be forgotten.

New York City - which I love and adore to the disgust of many freepers - was very much a segregated city in my youth. We didn’t call it that - we had white neighborhoods and black neighborhoods - and that was that. Never the twain shall meet.

In that regard, it was like much of America - sort of like Hillary’s Chicago suburban neighborhood, btw, and Obama’s future DC neighborhood.

America changes and redirects and self-corrects. It’s what makes us great.

I was born in a Trump hospital in Queens and to that I say:

Go, Trump, go!

I knew it was in there, somewhere, which begs the questions "What's the Point ?"

"While there is no evidence that Mr. Trump personally set the rental policies at his father’s properties, he was on hand while they were in place, working out of a cubicle in Trump Management’s Brooklyn offices as early as the summer of 1968.

Then and now, Mr. Trump, who declined to be interviewed for this article, has steadfastly denied any awareness of any discrimination at Trump properties. And there has been no suggestion of racial bias toward prospective residents in the luxury housing that Mr. Trump focused on as his career took off in Manhattan in the 1980s."

From the article: 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.

What 17 year old would spend "MUCH OF HIS FREE TIME" riding around in a chauffeured car? I know, small point in the scheme of things, but the absurdity of the media is maddening. Trump got his hands dirty doing some actual physical labor, and he made his boys do the same growing up.

"While there is no evidence that Mr. Trump personally set the rental policies at his father’s properties, he was on hand while they were in place, working out of a cubicle in Trump Management’s Brooklyn offices as early as the summer of 1968."

"no evidence" Still, that makes the possible sins of the Father guilty on the son? This is the best they can do? My gawd, the man has countless women and minorities in positions of authority. Bring it on you hopeless hippie indoctrinated socialist/communist punks.

I sincerely wish that the NYT, WaPO, Boston Globe, et al, go out of business and all you "journalists" wind up asking, "fries with your burger" beside some ambitious 19 year old. Sorry for you maintenance types. I hate you f*cking commies. I always have.

As I've said before, I saw your communes in action in the 1960's...what a bunch of confused lost smelly over-indulged from the Best Generation. Woodstock was the epitome of your ugliness. It wasn't beautiful love times; it was dirty, disease laden, smelly, over-dosing times. Too bad the Best Generation just wanted to relax after WWII and let you dip-shits run wild. I was one of them, but not one of you smelly hippies.

Just die off or go away, and let us Constitutional types rebuild what you have so actively tried to destroy, including you first negro president. BTW, do you know he is half white? He never recognizes it nor is proud of it.
