I disagree, it had nothing to do with his feelings towards black people and everything to do with protecting an investment, you are going back to the mid 70's. You can try and deny that mixed neighborhoods did not suffer lowered property values but you would be denying the reality of that time period. I did not say it was right, I did not say it was moral nor did I try to make a legal argument regarding what Trump did, I do however stand by my assertion that it was a common practice back then and this country has moved on since then.

I will point to Barack Obama, back as recently as 2012 I do believe he publicly affirmed his belief that marriage was between a man and a woman, did this mean that he was a h********c zenophobe? I don't think so, a lot of things have changed since the 1970's, Trump has done more for the black communities in his first two years in office than Obama did in his 8 years and Trump continues to work for those communities in both in the areas of criminal justice reform and in the development of opportunity reforms and education reform.

Democrats are hypocrites and always have been only now they are simply out of control. Here you are bringing something up out of Trumps past from some almost 50 years ago when he was in his twenties, I will remind you that Robert Byrd in his twenties was a recruiter for the Klu Klux Klan and later he became a beloved figure in the democrat party, you folks are simply blinded by your h**e, Trump is working for minorities in this country in meaningful ways, for years Washington has no nothing at all that would change the condition of minority communities in this country, Trump is making efforts which is more that can be said of his predecessor.

That was a common practice back then, you would have to thrown just about every developer and real estate agent in jail or fine them if you were to have applied the standard uniformly....

You are better than this Baz, that was almost 45 years ago and white folks would avoid complexes and neighborhoods where b****s lived, you can try to deny that but it is a fact and it was the condition of that era in our history. Stirring b****s away from white communities was common practice and it was a business decision, today we certainly would not condone that activity but back then for the most part it was common practice.

Why don’t you listen to the business channel or read a paper. We have added more jobs,but they are not good jobs and salary is stagnant. Our deficit is soaring. We are in a trade war which is hurting the farmers. Trump is trying to subsidize them how long can that last. When China gets other sources for soy beans they’ll not come back to buy from the U.S. The world has used the dollar are it’s standard for trade. With our threats of embargoes countries are looking for a different standard.

BTW when Obama took office we were loosing 700,000 jobs a month. Obama’s and his administration turned the economy around and saved the auto industry.

It was still against the law and the choice the Trumps had to make was consent decree or criminal prosecution. And I do not concede that everyone did it. Assuming, arguendo, that that statement is true, then how does it follow that it was right and not racially motivated?

Besides, you challenged another poster to offer proof that Trump is a r****t. I offered the proof, with which you have no argument, I guess, and now you need to work yourself into logic pretzels to rationalize r****t and criminal behavior. Not that trump is not a r****t, but you can explain/rationalize his r****m. A subtle shift in argument, but I get it.
