Right now, it's time for the way Black History Fact. In Today's way Black History Fact is sponsored by Major Threads for innovative, fashionable sportswear. Check major threads dot com. And today I'm going to share a bit from Politico. The FBI releases files on Trump's apartments race discrimination probe in the seventies. So this is for all those people who say Donald Trump's not racist, all right, this is a fair article. This is not a biased article. So it won't sound the way I would like it to sound, but it's fair and it'll still paint the picture. The FBI has released nearly four hundred pages of records and an investigation the bureau conducted in the nineteen seventies into alleged racial discrimination and the rental of apartments from President Donald Trump's real estate company. The files detailed dozens of interviews the bureau conducted with Trump building tenants, management, and employees, seeking in indications that minority tenants were steered away from housing complexes. Most of these interviews said that they were not aware of any discrimination. However, some of the records recount the stories of black rental applicants who said they were told no apartments were available, when whites sent to check out the same apartments were offered leases. The records posted on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act website included a nineteen seventy four interview with a former dorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn. A supervisor quote told me that if a black person came to twenty six to fifty Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he that is redacted was not there at the time, that I should tell him the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment. The ex dorman said. Many of the accounts of discrimination appeared to have originated with the National Urban League, which relayed the information to the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Some of those complaints were barely legible, and many of the records were heavily redacted. In October nineteen seventy three, the Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit against Trump Management Company, Donald Trump and his father Fred Trump, alleging that African Americans and Puerto Ricans were system systematically excluded from apartments. The Trumps responded with a one hundred million dollar countersuit accusing the government of defamation. Donald Trump denied any racial discrimination, but said his managers tried to read out certain kinds of the tenants. What we didn't do was rent to wellfare cases white or black, Trump wrote in a nineteen eighty seven book. The Trumps and their company entered into a consent decree settling the litigation in nineteen seventy five. The agreement contained no admission of wrongdoing, but required the Trump firm to institute a series of safeguards to make sure apartments were rented without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Okay, so that's the fair, you know whatever. Now I want to read some other things Instances of racism from Box. This is not exhaustive. This is just a couple of things, because this is a short segment. In the nineteen eighties, Kit Brown, a former employee at Trump's castle, accused another one of Trump's businesses of discrimination. Quote, when Donald and Ivana came down to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor. Brown said, it was the eighties. I was a teenager, but I remember it. They put us all in the back, all right. Next up, in nineteen eighty nine, the Central Park five. For those who don't know the story, Donald Trump called for the death penalty of five teenagers wrongfully accused of raping a woman in Central Park. Later on, in October twenty sixteen, he said he still believes they're guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary and a forty one million dollar settlement in their favor, and they're now referred to as the Exonerated five. Nineteen ninety one, a book by John o'donald, former president Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quota Trump's criticisms of a black accountant quote, black guys counting my money? I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yamaka's every day. I think that the guy is lazy, and it's probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait of blacks, it really is. I believe that it's not anything they can control. Unquote. Trump later said in a nineteen ninety seven Playboy interview that quote, the stuff o'donald wrote about me is probably true. Quote, and then his comments about the Ground Zero mosque in twenty ten. Of course, the burther movement with President Obama, the s whole countries, and the Muslim band, on and on. It's an exhaustive list, but suffices to say that Donald Trump has been accused of racism many times in his life, so I don't want to hear it.
