Donald Trump's racial discrimination problem -was sued by Dept. of Justice
Donald Trump's racial discrimination problem -was sued by Dept. of Justice

"In the 1970s, he was sued by the feds for not renting to African-Americans"

"One of Donald's first challenges came in October 1973, when the Justice Department hit the Trump Organization with a major discrimination suit for violating the Fair Housing Act. The Times reported:


... the Government contended that Trump Management had refused to rent or negotiate rentals "because of race and color." It also charged that the company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were not available."

1. Depends what the definition of "always" is
Much less "the" blacks. I believe he was talking about Conrad Black's family, and that's where the mistake emerges. Oh, I've always had a great relationship with the Blacks. They have an apartment in Trump Towers!"

8. This bit of news explains a lot. Blast this around the net.
