Hillary’s G## damn N###### comes to mind. Why the double standard?
Full motion video can now be 100% faked, much less the audio portion of a recording.

They were threatening more tapes to get Trump to quit. He called their bluff and stayed. Now they, like Geraldine, are backtracking. This is probably a bunch of bs.
Scroll up a few posts to #82 and there it is.
Of all the silly attacks on Donald trump is the accusations that he is a racist, whereas the democrats love minorities. Almost everyone is aware that Donald Trump opened a resort in Palm Beach by the name of Mar-a-Lago. But what most people dont remember is that the liberals in Palm Beach wouldnt allow Blacks and Jews to join the golf clubs there. Palm Beach fought against allowing Trump to open his golf club that welcomed both Blacks and Jews.

At the time there was an article written for the WSJ that included input from Abe Foxman, the longtime head of the Anti-Defamation League:
Mr. Trump also has resorted to the courts to secure his foothold here, and many residents wince at the attention his legal battles with the town have drawn to the town in general, and to the admission practices at some of Palm Beachs older clubs in particular.
The culture clash began to approach a climax last fall, when Mr. Trumps lawyer sent members of the town council a copy of the film Guess Whos Coming to Dinner, a film that deals with upper-class racism. Mr. Trump then approached the town council about lifting the restrictions that had been placed on the club. He also asked some council members not to vote on the request because their membership in other clubs created a conflict of interest.
Last December, after the council refused to lift the restrictions, Mr. Trump filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Palm Beach, alleging that the town was discriminating against Mar-a-Lago, in part because it is open to Jews and African-Americans. The suit seeks $100 million in damages.
Mr. Foxman seems pleased that Mr. Trump has elevated the issue of discriminatory policies at social clubs. He put the light on Palm Beach, Mr. Foxman says. Not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. It has an impact.
In recent weeks, Mr. Foxman says, the league has received calls from Jewish residents telling of how Palm Beach clubs are changing. Locals concur that in the past year, organizations such as the Bath and Tennis Club have begun to admit Jewish patrons. The Palm Beach Civic Association, which for many years was believed to engage in discriminatory behavior, this month named a Jewish resident as its chief officer.
