Let the records speak for themselves!
1973:
One early red flag arose in 1973, when President Richard Nixon’s Justice
Department — not exactly the radicals of the day — sued Trump and his
father, Fred Trump, for systematically discriminating against blacks in
housing rentals.
Donald Trump was then president of the family real estate firm, and the
government amassed overwhelming evidence that the company had a policy of
discriminating against blacks, including those serving in the military.
To prove the discrimination, blacks were repeatedly dispatched as testers to
Trump apartment buildings to inquire about vacancies, and white testers
were sent soon after. Repeatedly, the black person was told that nothing was
available, while the white tester was shown apartments for immediate rental.
A former building superintendent working for the Trumps explained that he
was told to code any application by a black person with the letter C, for
colored, apparently so the office would know to reject it. A Trump rental
agent said the Trumps wanted to rent only to “Jews and executives,” and
discouraged renting to blacks.
1989:
That year New York City was convulsed by the “Central Park jogger” case, a
rape and beating of a young white woman. Five black and Latino teenagers
were arrested.
Trump stepped in, denounced Mayor Ed Koch’s call for peace and bought full-
page newspaper ads calling for the death penalty. The five teenagers spent
years in prison before being exonerated. In retrospect, they suffered a
modern version of a lynching, and Trump played a part in whipping up the
crowds.
As Trump moved into casinos, discrimination followed. In the 1980s,
according to a former Trump casino worker, Kip Brown, who was quoted by The
New Yorker: “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would
order all the black people off the floor. … They put us all in the back.”
1991:
In 1991, a book by John O’Donnell, who had been president of the Trump
Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump as criticizing a black
accountant and saying: “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. … 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.” O’Donnell wrote that for months afterward
, Trump pressed him to fire the black accountant, until the man resigned of
his own accord.
Trump eventually denied making those comments. But in 1997 in a Playboy
interview, he conceded “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably
true.” |
