If this is all that they can come up with after what you can be sure is quite some level of deep, deep digging, it proves only one thing, Trump must be really clean.
If MSM spent a fraction of the time investigating Clinton that they do Trump, they would all need showers..the Clintons are that dirty..
Someone already mentioned the Mr A Lago thing, here’s a link to the story.
I guess he changed his views long ago...
Of course this is a hit piece, it’s MSN, what do you expect?
What I’ve been wondering is this.
If Trump is so horrible, such a racist and bigot, why is it nobody has trotted out a dozen present of former employees with horror stories about what a bastard he is to work for?
Because they cant find any. Everybody loves the guy. Trust me they’ve been looking since the day he announced he was running.
Why is it Trump was never once called a racist until he decided to run for office against a Democrat?
I’m not surprised to see a story about this happening in 1963, it was an everyday thing. They still had “Whites only” signs on public bathrooms. Many restaurants did too, or simply refused blacks at the door. Blacks were still expected to ride at the back of the bus. Water fountains had signs on them, I saw some of these signs when I was a kid. I saw all white schools, I went to them for 8 years. My 9th grade year was the first year desegregation was put in place. And I remember the stress that caused.
Those and more were the accepted way of doing things at that time. It was only when the 60’s rolled around some lawsuits started getting some national publicity, and at least partially because of MLK bringing it to the nation’s attention. I remember what my father called him...I won’t repeat it...
I saw both sides of this issue. My father was one of the most seriously racial bigots I’ve ever seen, my mother refused to allow the word “nigger” in her house. If you wanted your ass whipped, that was the number one best way to get it. My father was the only one who could, and I never did figure out how even he got away with it. She did not believe in discrimination of any kind, and here’s the strange part, HIS mother was 1/2 Native American and didn’t like discrimination either, she saw plenty of it directed at herself when she was young.
My grandmother was a fat country woman, lived out in the boonies, I thought she hardly knew anyone, and her funeral was one of the biggest the town had ever seen. Every school principal, the entire city council, mayor and previous mayors, every cop in sight, bank presidents, even the representative flew in from DC for her funeral.
WHY???
I found out during the depression most of them survived partially through her help. Any time someone was out of work and couldn’t feed his kids, she would show up on their doorstep with a couple of sacks of groceries and eggs from her farm. They always grew a huge garden, about 2 acres when I was a kid, and she didn’t care who you were, where you came from, and dared the KKK to show up in her yard. They didn’t, they lived because of her generosity long ago too. My grandfather was also a really good shot...and they knew it. I mean peg a bottle cap at 50 yards with open sights every shot. (I’m not kidding, I saw it, and I could do it too at the time, we all could. I could shoot like that by the time I was 8) She brought black families groceries and hand me down clothes, when they ran a 40 acre cotton patch they had people lined up to go to work because they knew they would be treated well.
So how did my father end up such a big time racist? I never figured that one out, he definitely didn’t learn it at home. He didn’t get it from my mother. His mother was targeted by discrimination, she was half Indian. And married a white man. Not good in 1920.
I don’t know why I just thought of this, and it has nothing to do with this thread...my grandmother would cook breakfast for a huge crowd and most of the hunters would show up during the winter, nobody was turned away. When they left, nobody ever said a word, we would find a pile on the porch of whatever game they brought in from the woods. Everybody would just leave a rabbit or duck or whatever on the porch for them. Nobody ever said a thing about it, when they all left it was just there. I’ve seen her cook breakfast for 30 people. Mid winter, ice barely melted, and people would eat on the front porch because the house was packed...And they would all leave something...we’d spend the next 2 hours cleaning game...
I heard all kinds of stories...but what happened to those days? People who would just help out just to help out...blacks would work in their cotton field and have lunch under the same oak tree as everyone else, there was no separate place for them. If their kids walked down the road to school in shoes with holes, she would send them some shoes or clothes. That’s off season, nothing growing, nobody working the field. She didn’t care if they were black, white or green with purple polka dots. To her they were just people. A lot of blacks were at her funeral too...that didn’t happen often...I didn’t know she died until 2 weeks later, my father didn’t bother to call me. I heard over 200 people were there. Biggest funeral in the town’s history.
Why don’t we have people like that any more?
