[TheRealThing]

It wouldn't matter if I , Outsider, CF, or vector listed a thousands transgressions. Indoctrination, whether political or religious , necessitates the setting aside of rational thought in favor of what one wishes would be or what gives one personal comfort.  I'll take a shot at it anyway:


[b]1973: [/b]The US Department of Justice — under the Nixon administration, out of all administrations — sued the Trump Management Corporation for violating the Fair Housing Act. Federal officials found evidence that Trump had refused to rent to Black tenants and lied to Black applicants about whether apartments were available, among other accusations. Trump said the federal government was trying to get him to rent to welfare recipients. In the aftermath, he signed an agreement in 1975 agreeing not to discriminate to renters of color without admitting to previous discrimination.

[b]The 1980s: [/b]Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, accused another one of Trump’s businesses of discrimination. “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the Black people off the floor,” Brown said. “It was the eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: They put us all in the back.”

[b]1989:[/b] In a controversial case that’s been characterized as a modern-day lynching, four Black teenagers and one Latino teenager — the “Central Park Five” — were accused of attacking and raping a jogger in New York City. Trump immediately took charge in the case, running an ad in local papers demanding, “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” The teens’ convictions were later vacated after they spent seven to 13 years in prison, and the city paid $41 million in a settlement to the teens. But Trump in October 2016 said he still believes they’re guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary.

[b]1991: [/b]A book by John O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump’s criticism of a Black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money is short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in Blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” Trump later said in a 1997 [i]Playboy[/i] interview that “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.”

[b]1992:[/b] The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino had to pay a $200,000 fine because it transferred Black and women dealers off tables to accommodate a big-time gambler’s prejudices.

[b]1993:[/b] In congressional testimony, Trump said that some Native American reservations operating casinos shouldn’t be allowed because “they don’t look like Indians to me.”

[b]2000:[/b] In opposition to a casino proposed by the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, which he saw as a financial threat to his casinos in Atlantic City, Trump secretly ran a series of ads suggesting the tribe had a “record of criminal activity [that] is well documented.”

[b]2004: [/b]In season two of “The Apprentice,” Trump fired Kevin Allen, a Black contestant, for being overeducated. “You’re an unbelievably talented guy in terms of education, and you haven’t done anything,” Trump said on the show. “At some point you have to say, ‘That’s enough.’”

[b]2005:[/b] Trump publicly pitched what was essentially “The Apprentice: White People vs. Black People.” He said he “wasn’t particularly happy” with the most recent season of his show, so he was considering “an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.”

[b]2010:[/b] In 2010, there was a huge national controversy over the “Ground Zero Mosque” — a proposal to build a Muslim community center in Lower Manhattan, near the site of the 9/11 attacks. Trump opposed the project, calling it “insensitive,” and offered to buy out one of the investors in the project. On “The Late Show With David Letterman,” Trump argued, referring to Muslims, “Well, somebody’s blowing us up. Somebody’s blowing up buildings, and somebody’s doing lots of bad stuff.”

[b]2011: [/b]Trump played a big role in pushing false rumors that Obama — the country’s first Black president — was not born in the US. He claimed to send investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama’s birth certificate. Obama later released his birth certificate, calling Trump a “carnival barker.” The research has found a strong correlation between birtherism, as the conspiracy theory is called, and racism. But Trump has reportedly continued pushing this conspiracy theory in private.

[b]2011:[/b] While Trump suggested that Obama wasn’t born in the US, he also argued that maybe Obama wasn’t a good enough student to have gotten into Columbia or Harvard Law School, and demanded Obama release his university transcripts. Trump claimed, “I heard he was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?”



2016-present:  On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly made explicitly racist and otherwise bigoted remarks, from calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, to proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the US, to suggesting a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.

The trend has continued into his presidency. From stereotyping a Black reporter to pandering to white supremacists after they held a violent rally in Charlottesville, VA, to making a joke about the Trail of Tears, Trump hasn’t stopped with racist acts after his 2016 election.


Most recently, Trump has called the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus the “Chinese virus” and “Kung flu” — racist terms that tap into the kind of xenophobia that he latched onto during his 2016 presidential campaign; Trump’s own adviser, Kellyanne Conway, previously called “Kung flu” a “highly offensive” term. And Trump insinuated that Sen. Kamala Harris, who’s Black, “doesn’t meet the requirements” to run for vice president — a repeat of the birther conspiracy theory that he perpetuated about former President Barack Obama.




In summary, this man's history of racist talk and behavior goes back to the 70's when he was first sued by the U.S. Department of Justice for racial discrimination .  Even friends and associates that have known him for decades  admit that everyone knew Donald was this way.  Like I said, none of this will matter followers of his cult.

First off can we at least agree that this was the very best that you could have done? At least you did manage to put something up, so you get an A for effort. Not a lot for establishing fact though. Thousands of examples you say?  I see only two which are neither off base or otherwise non applicable. The rest are easily and arguably a stretch.


1991 - John O'Donnell's book. First point, I haven't read the book but I did not find where O'Donnell ever actually named any source claiming to be the person to whom Trump made those remarks. Secondly, I cannot find the Playboy interview in question to see what "stuff O'Donnell wrote" that Trump was saying was probably true. Third, O'Donnell is, wait for it... a flamming lib who's written and interviewed on liberal media in the negative vein against Trump for decades. Doesn't mean that in or of themselves, those facts constitute an ironclad defense for Trump. But let's face it. Liberal media especially CNN, & MSDNC, have been merciless in their pursuit of DJT's downfall. I would rather see the offended person/entity come forward, than to take the word of media with a dollar to make and an ax to grind. Court cases are a dime a dozen where one runs over 500 businesses.

1992 - May well have happened. As owner Trump would have been liable, but liability and culpability can be miles apart and I don't see where anyone established that Trump was there at the time and very likely was not. Court cases are a dime a dozen where one runs over 500 businesses.


Now do we want to start dissecting William Jefferson Clinton's racial remarks? How about starting with the one about Obama? The New York Post-- "Only days before he will nominate Barack Obama for re-election, a new report claims that in 2008, former President Bill Clinton said of him: “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”  https://nypost.com/2012/09/03/bill-clint...a-in-2008/
