Donald Trump Was Once Sued By Justice Department For Not Renting To Blacks

Quote:
NEW YORK -- Donald Trump’s vehement questioning regarding President Obama's place of birth has provoked charges of racism, with a number of public figures accusing the real estate magnate of employing crude and unfair stereotypes. The chorus has grown so intense that Trump this week felt compelled to declare otherwise, telling TMZ.com: "I am the last person that such a thing should be said about."

But for Trump, allegations of racism amount to recurring themes in his larger-than-life career. Two weeks ago, when he was asked during a radio interview about whether or not he is supported by African-Americans, he sparked another firestorm when he blurted: "I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had a great relationship with the blacks." Trump's comments were "highly offensive," Walter Fields, former head of NAACP New Jersey, told Capital New York.

Donald Trump didnt want "welfare" recipients in his buildings, it had nothing to do with the color of skin, unless you think those on welfare are only black.

Clearly thats the argument the OP and others are making though, i.e. if you deny welfare recipiants housing, that its racial.. hogwash!!

He shouldn't have to.

It is his property and he should be able to rent, sell or give it away to anyone he wants.

Who's justice department?

I think he has great relationships with black business people.

As far as not renting, if they had a good job, the good down payment and the history and ability to pay rent there is no issue.
He doesn't appear to be in jail, so what happened as an outcome?
