The government, using a sample size of 1, shows rental availability different for Blacks and Whites and wants large fines......in 1972.

Of course new 27 year old CEO Trump going to defend his company. You're the CEO of a company. You have to defend it. It's literally your job. However, the company, in business since the 1930's may have been steered a bit more by Trump's father at that point. That's what I suspect.

48 years ago. If your most recent racist charge is presiding over things that he didn't do personally but did defend vigorously 48 years ago, then you missed the chapter on personal growth, as well as Earth Day, Disco, Metal, Alternative, Oil Shock, computers and the last days of investigative journalism by an independent 4th Estate.

Just because someone doesn’t agree with someone else’s point of view doesn’t make them racist. But it’s easier to label people racist these days because it brow beats them.

(I worked as a litigation paralegal for decades; I can tell you that that means the Trumps lost, which means the case against them was so good that the Trumps felt compelled to pay millions to settle, w/o admission of guilt.)

Just look at the people in the W.H. Or the Republican part of the Senate. They're almost all white males, most are older. But it's true that they aren't wearing t-shirts that declare "Racist" on them.

Trump definitely is racist. The list of things he's said & done are too long to list here. And you'll never admit it. But I bet David Duke and those so-called "fine people" who marched in Charlottesville with Tiki Torches would say that heck yeah he's racist & should be proud of it.
It’s no use. Most conservatives demand that their racists sign the “I am a racist” affidavit to be considered a racist. Until then, they are just “good people with an opinion.” If you want to know how far you can go before crossing the line, look at what Steve King got away with before he lost his committee assignments.

You must have missed my other post with more recent events. More important than what he did prior to being president, why don’t you care about all the racist **** he’s done AS PRESIDENT??

Maybe because it didn't happen and you're making stuff up.

They THINK it will work well. The great unknown is how much of it will backfire and for what duration.

I have no idea. Certain corps like Foot locker will likely work out since they target urban. For companies not heavily marketing to urban... We shall see.

Like I said, plenty of people on the right need someone to don a KKK hood or a Nazi uniform in order to call them a racist.
