Since you wish to hold Donald Trump responsible for his father, it’s only fair to do the same with Woody Guthrie:
“Guthrie was born in Okemah, a small town in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, the son of Nora Belle (nee Sherman) and Charles Edward Guthrie. His parents named him after Woodrow Wilson, then Governor of New Jersey and the Democratic candidate soon to be elected President of the United States.
“Charles Guthrie was an industrious businessman, owning at one time up to 30 plots of land in Okfuskee County. He was actively involved in Oklahoma politics and was a Democratic candidate for office in the county. When Charles was making stump speeches, he would often be accompanied by his son. Charles Guthrie was involved in the 1911 lynching of Laura and Lawrence Nelson. His son wrote three songs about the event and said that his father was later a member of the revived Ku Klux Klan.”
Donald Trump’s father had nothing to do with establishing racial covenants.
It’s funny how the north easterners with their racial covenants feel all superior over the south.
confirmed that applications sent to the central [Trump] office for acceptance or rejection were coded by race
So what is the point here? In 1950 that was how it was done. Not saying it was right just that it was..
Not unlike Levittown.
Blacks were not allowed to buy houses there.
IIRC, it's still 90%+ white.
You have to be a special kind of dimwit to not know Woody Guthrie was a Communist.
A racist? Run for your lives!!!!
I’m no big Trump supporter, but where’s the proof that Fred Trump was a racist?There isn't any but there's proof all over the place that Woody Guthrie was a Communist...
So, Fred Trump put a feather in your hat. An America hating Communist didn't like you.
If Guthrie was such a man of principle why did he stay in the apartment for two years?Rent control. Commies love rent control...when it's not their rental.
The race card is oh so last year
Loving commies does not make for a good FR start, sonny boy.
Just sayin'.
Woody Guthrie?! Did he ever own anything?
Trump's high profile entry to politics hasn't changed that opinion.
Woody Guthrie was a raging COMMUNIST. Nothing more to be said.
Does that make me a racist even though my wife isn't?
Just askin'...
Make thyself useful...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate (even if he's "rich enough to do it on his own") as the next President.
I donate to the candidate I support and you should too, else, your "support" really doesn't have any meaning.
It's even worse if you use FR and don't donate. If you are one of those who feel it's OK to use FR daily w/o helping pay to keep the lights on, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit. Also, don't be surprised if others decide that your opinions are as worthless as your non-donations - hypocrites aren't worth listening to.
PS - If you are one of those unlucky few who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
I was told the reason that there were segregated bathrooms is because one group would destroy everything, masturbate in the stalls, pee and poop on the floor, and purposely clog the toilets.
The other group did not want that level of civilization.
