The Justice Department’s 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company focused on 39 properties in New York City. The government alleged that employees were directed to tell African American lease applicants that there were no open apartments. Company policy, according to an employee quoted in court documents, was to rent only to “Jews and executives.”
Donald Trump took out full-page ads in all four major New York newspapers to argue that perpetrators of crimes such as what the Central Park Five were accused of “should be forced to suffer” and “be executed.” In 2002, after the discovery of exonerating DNA evidence and the confession by another individual to the crime, the convictions of the Central Park Five were vacated. Trump took to the pages of the New York Daily News, calling the settlement “a disgrace.” During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump would again insist on the guilt of the Central Park Five.
Y'all are dumb enough to think African-Americans forget which party holds the values of the KKK and neo-nazis. They know. They remember. That's why 8 out of 10 African-Americans think Trump is racist and are motivated more than ever to vote him out.
