Remember When Trump Got Palm Beach’s Country Clubs To Desegregate? Neither Does The Media
The Daily Caller ^ | 9/21/2016 | Christian Datoc

The story starts back in the spring of 1995, when Trump officially opened the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.

Palm Beach had only agreed to Trump’s plan after placing “restrictions on the club, such as allowing no more than 500 members, to allay residents’ fears about traffic congestion and noise,” the Wall Street Journal’s Jacqueline Bueno reported in 1997.

The restrictions placed on Mar-a-Lago stemmed from Trump’s outsider status, explained Palm Beach Society magazine’s publisher, James Sheeran. ...

Then this happened:

The culture clash began to approach a climax last fall, when Mr. Trump’s lawyer sent members of the town council a copy of the film “Guess Who’s 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.

or Bill Clinton's "A few years ago, this guy (Obama) would be getting us coffee." As always, the left projects their own racism on conservatives.

Bear in mind the paragraphs after “Then this happened” are quotes from an April 30, 1997 WSJ article.

And they are still saying Trump started the “birther” narrative when in fact it was Hillary Clinton and her campaign - yet all of these people supposedly infuriated with Trump over almost certainly all voted for Hillary Clinton. Fake, insincere outrage.

There are several private clubs and golf country clubs on Palm Beach.
Prior to The Donald opening his Mar a Lago club, none of the clubs allowed Blacks, Browns, Jews and or Catholics to join.
Hell, they wouldn’t even allow J.F.Kennedy to oin or even play there.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it...”

Outside of global warming, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more blatant lie repeated quite as widely as the lie that Donald Trump is a racist.
