WOW! It's about time they dragged this shiite up. Fred Trump tried to keep "Jews, Coloreds and other undesirables" out of his buildings STOP THE PRESSES WE GOT A SCOOP!! This was SOP in the real estate business back in the not always good old days. Fred Trump wasn't the only one. Arthur Levitt (of Levittown fame), Samuel Lefrak, Harry Helmsley and most other real estate moguls large and small engaged in this practice back then. So it's OK for the sins of the father to be visited on the son, in this case. BTW, the high-rises on the other side of the Stilwell Av subway terminal at Coney Isl, a couple of blocks from the Cyclone was built by Fred Trump. I dare any of the PC "not sees", Black or White to venture in that area after nightfall.

In 1950 the famed "This Land Is Your Land" populist folk singer moved into a Brooklyn public housing project owned by Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, and soon found it to be segregated by a color line excluding any black tenants. As Gawker reports, in Guthrie's writings he took to calling the white "Beach Haven" neighborhood "Bitch Havens."
First of all, public housing projects in the 30s-50s were often built or purchased through federally-backed mortgages at a time when federal agencies would refuse to underwrite loans that would introduce blacks into white neighborhoods. The fact that Trump's father owned such property indicates nothing about Trump's father's actual views on such things.
Second, how is Donald Trump responsible for his father's actions?

Let us not forget one of the Kennedy properties had a clause that of statement of some sort preventing Blacks from buying or renting the property.

I haven’t seen the liberal machinery this discombobulated for decades. Sheer panic. It’s delightful. :)

How convenient. The wikipedia edit was added in January 2016 introducing hearsay commentary vis-a-vis Fred Trump.
Guthrie was an alcoholic drug abusing schizophrenic and eventually died from Huntington s disease

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.

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?

Lol, seriously.
So if we’re going to trash Trump’s dad, does that mean all the dad’s are fair game? I really wonder about Kasich’s dad!!
The ultimate silly season. In the meantime, how much intel did hillary share?????
