"What liberal, Democratic administration was it that accused Trump of racist practices? That would be the Nixon administration, hardly the most activist team when protecting the rights of minorities. But Trump’s actions were so easily documented, so much the textbook definition of racism as Paul Ryan might say, that they couldn’t be overlooked. And the practices weren’t new. Before Donald took the helm his father, Fred, had been tossing the applications of black tenants, and when the New York Commission on Human Rights looked into it ... After the hearing, Ms. Brown was offered an apartment in the Wilshire, and in the spring of 1964, she moved in. For 10 years, she said, she was the only African-American in the building. In Donald’s case, Rather than confess and pay, Donald Trump hired Joe McCarthy’s lawyer, Roy Cohn, who filed a countersuit of $100 million against the government. It was laughed out of court. Donald and his father weren’t the only ones in the Trump organization with racist attitudes. It was baked in."
