his New York real estate company was sued by the federal government for discriminating against potential black renters. After a lengthy legal battle, it ultimately agreed to wide-ranging steps to offer rentals to nonwhites.
The case alleged that the Trump Management Corporation had discriminated against blacks who wished to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. The government charged the corporation with quoting different rental terms and conditions to blacks and whites and lying to blacks that apartments were not available, according to reports of the lawsuit.
Two years later, Trump Management settled the case, promising not to discriminate against blacks, Puerto Ricans and other minorities. As part of the agreement, Trump was required to send its list of vacancies in its 15,000 apartments to a civil-rights group, giving them first priority in providing applicants for certain apartments,
oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not renting to blacks. I guess Trump can't count on all those sweet sweet black votes he was going to get huh?
Basically. I never liked Trump, but this information pretty much tells me he isn't to be trusted. If it takes a lawsuit to make someone not discriminate, I would be very afraid of what he would do once in office, where he has far more power.
Trump Management and many of the rental property owners I've known (including my former boss) have the same tenant criteria. No non-whites, and no Section 8. They manage to get away with it. This isn't news. It's more common than you think.

If this is true, this is really going to be sad test for me. I am wondering how many people I know are going to vote for him. I am more disturbed by anyone who votes for him than Trump himself. If he doesn't get Presidential power, then I can rest easy. If he does, I will be scared. I will wonder what I, as a Black man, will stand to lose. I will also wonder about people who vote for him. If he really did try that "no non-Whites" thing regarding tenants, I will wonder if the persons who voted for him share his sentiments. If so, I've got alot to worry about. There will be some friendships that I will break.
