Donald Trump Was Sued By The Justice Department For Racial Discrimination

Animated lump of Velveeta cheese Donald Trump has a bit of a race problem! The Huffington Post has a rundown of a number of racist things Trump has emitted from that smug little mouth, plus this big embarrassing blight: Trump's real-estate company, Trump Management Corporation, was sued by the Justice Department in 1973 for racial discrimination after allegedly refusing to rent apartments to African-Americans/lying to them about prices and conditions.

Because he is a complete and utter clown, Trump responded by suing the D.O.J. for defamation, seeking $100 million in damages. Trump's lawyer was the infamous Roy Cohn, a.k.a. Joseph McCarthy's chief counsel. Eventually Trump Management settled the case, but failed to improve their policies towards minorities: three years later, the Justice Department again charged the company with discriminating against blacks. It got to the point where the NYC human rights commission was dispatched to find evidence of discrimination in Trump's buildings.

Embarrassing, right? Or it would be, if Donald Trump were a person capable of experiencing shame. And this is on top of a not-so-great record of dealing with minorities. Sample quotes attributed to Trump in a book from 1991 by John R. O'Donnell: "laziness is a trait in blacks" and "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day." Our future president, everybody.

Trump is a scary looking fool. This is not surprising news. Anyone who wants to support him is welcome to. Some idiots are going to flock together. They can't help it.

The downside to technology is lazy reporting. I think if some real old school reporters were to look into Trump's past statements, interview former associates, check his reliance on legal bankruptcy laws and scare tactics, and look as his long list of business failure, one would find a charlatan. A city slicker racist goon, more than likely.

He "earned" his net worth from his daddy.

One thing about silver spoon bullies, they fold after the first hard punch. Trump is made of paper. Trump will run and hide at the first sign of Palinism (the embarrassment of being an ass in public and then digging deeper)...all those that did business with him should wonder.

This story first broke out April 28th on Salon. Give credit due, they scooped AOL's new and not improved Huffington Post.

But I want to know why a layperson tipped it (and DT's been running his mouth for weeks--given carte blanche on every talk show, news program everywhere) and since being viral on the net and blogs no major news media has gone near the story.

These birther folks (and other critics of our first Black President) keep disclaiming racism and now here we have their biggest spokesperson BUSTED with the fact of his racism.

I want to see this in the Headlines of every major newspaper and on the evening news.!!!!

Campaign for this and repost/write letters to MM demanding they run this story!!!
