Thanks for compiling this, napkinz. I had just followed the links to that 1973 news article. This way a lot more people can see it!

This part from the above link was particularly

By then, his interests had grown far beyond his father’s real-estate empire and reached into Manhattan. Judy Klemesrud portrayed him on Nov. 1, 1976:

“He is tall, lean and blond, with dazzling white teeth, and he looks ever so much like Robert Redford. He rides around town in a chauffeured silver Cadillac with his initials, DJT, on the plates. He dates slinky fashion models, belongs to the most elegant clubs and, at only 30 years of age, estimates that he is worth ‘more than $200 million.’ ” (That’s gone up a bit.)

I'd as soon win this election without any of their support and I think we can. Hillary is talking issues where as tRump is talking bullshit. Big difference between the two and anyone with half a brain knows the difference.

We can win this, all we have to do is GOTV
Theres a lot more of us than there are of them, the issue is getting us to the polls

Morons don't understand the difference.

Robert Byrd renounced his racist past and became a leading advocate for civil rights. Trump hasn't.

tRump may at some point play lip service to his racism and bigotry but it will only be lip service

tRump is a despicable person

20. Trump's History Undermines New Outreach to Black Voters

by ADAM HOWARD

Here are several reasons why, as the New York Times' Charles Blow put it, black voters appear to "loathe Trump" personally:

Housing
Trump made a fortune before his career as a reality TV star predominately in the world of real estate, where he took the reins of his father's burgeoning housing empire in the early 1970s and expanded it to become the global juggernaut it purportedly is today. But in 1973, he was introduced on the national stage for less auspicious reasons: his battles with the U.S. Justice Department over charges of violating the Fair Housing Act. The Trumps were accused of systematically discriminating against black tenants seeking rentals in their buildings, even using a code letter "C" to represent "colored" applicants.

They pushed back and counter-sued the government (claiming they were being forced "to rent to welfare recipients&quot , but according to the New York Times, two years later, in 1975, "Trump Management was required to furnish the New York Urban League with a list of all apartment vacancies, every week, for two years. It was also to allow the league to present qualified applicants for every fifth vacancy in Trump buildings where fewer than 10 percent of the tenants were black."

The Trumps were emphatic that the agreement was not an admission of guilt; however, three years later they were still on the defensive. In 1978, the government filed another motion against Trump, this time alleging that he was not complying with the 1975 compromise. And by 1983, the situation had not improved dramatically, with the Times reporting that at least 95 percent of two Trump properties were populated by whites only.
