President-elect Donald Trump’s newest White House adviser runs a real-estate company currently being sued by African-Americans who accuse it of racial discrimination and hiring white men to physically attack and eject them.
On Wednesday, Trump tapped Reed Cordish as assistant to the president for Intergovernmental and Technology Initiatives. Cordish is an executive of the Cordish Companies, his family’s Baltimore, Maryland-based real-estate business, and the president of Entertainment Concepts Investors, a subsidiary that owns and manages bars, restaurants, and clubs throughout the country.
ECI’s largest holdings are in Kansas City, Missouri, where Cordish partnered with Trump’s son-in-law and White House advisor Jared Kushner on a building in the city’s “Power and Light District.”
But the Power and Light District, a half-million square-foot shopping and entertainment center downtown, has a dark reputation among the city’s black community. Two separate lawsuits against the Cordish Companies say the area is commonly called the “Power and White District” for its owner’s alleged record of racial discrimination.

Don't you want America to be great again? 
Meanwhile there are protests every day here in DC. People are standing up for what's right and letting the world know that we are not just quietly going along with our foolish President-elect and his horrible advisors.
