Donald Trump is likely to have the gene of at least one slave owner in him.
Are you going to vote for that type of person?
In other words, Trump Sr. was following government guidelines and the prevailing practices of the day. Both were bad, but nothing unique to Trump. "Enthusiastic embrace" and "New Deal vision" may reflect the writer's own prejudices. I don't think he's looked at how developers and landlords behaved -- or at the racial ideas and practices of FDR-era politicians.
The New York State throughway is closed, man!
I wonder if Woody, or this writer, ever visited Chicago in the early 1960’s. If they had, they would have witnessed the construction of public housing projects such as the Robert Taylor Homes, which ostensibly were designed to provide affordable housing, but which wound up warehousing and segregating large numbers of blacks away from the white neighborhoods, and became notorious hotbeds of crime, violence, and social disintegration. Mayor Richard J. Daley (Democrat) had the aim of segregation in mind when the locations for these projects were picked.
I think Hillary’s parents were Republican
Crikes, in 1950 everything was segregated. Let’s pick on Trump’s dad.
They were very industrious in the late fifties in Chicago. I remember picking up lead dimes and quarters in my change. Who but a hard worker would counterfeit dimes?
When Trump moved to Florida he was asked to join clubs that did not allow “blacks or Jews”. When he opened his own club he opened it to all. The local big shots went ballistic. They tried every local ordinance to make life difficult That is when Trump erected the oversized American flag on his property. They even fought that. He moved it and made it even larger.
I’m curious. What about Che Guevara? What was his opinion of Trump’s father? Or Stalin? Or Karl Marx? What did they have to say about Trump’s ancestors?
I remember those too in St. Louis.
I would love to see a 24 hour moratorium on these Trump/Cruz posts. Just one day.No one is stopping you from posting pretty much anything you want about whoever you want...Post away.

Bob Dull said he is for Jebbie but would prefer Trump to Cruz if they were the two finalists. So far, Elizabeth has been speechless.
Okay, so that wouldn’t fly. Drat.
LOL

Mr. Community Organizer did wonders with Federal money for low-cost housing in Chicago.
Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."

Fannie, Freddie spent millions on lobbyingRaines, the company's former chief financial officer, Timothy Howard, and former controller Leanne Spencer were accused in a civil lawsuit of manipulating earnings over a six-year period at Fannie. Raines was appointed by Clinton, after serving as White House budget director under Clinton.
Raines' predecessor, former Fannie Mae chief James Johnson, is a prominent Democrat who was an adviser to 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry and was selected by Obama to help vet his vice presidential prospects.
