That's what being in charge means, it means being responsible for the thing you're in charge of.

So obviously you know nothing about running a company.

Again, my point here is people making accusations of racism, sexism, etc. where it's ridiculous to do so in my opinion. That's different than "defending racism."

If someone literally had a racial discrimination suit filed against them by the federal government, it's really not ridiculous to think they're racist.

Please be joking. When you're the boss of a company, you're in charge and responsible for anything that happens in your company.

Whereupon we assume that (a) it's actually true that apartments weren't being rented to black folks just because they were black, and (b) Trump knew about this for some time prior to the suit emerging, but he essentially said "Okay, keep it going" because he agreed with it.

Seriously, are you people blind, or do you just not respond to points you can't argue with?

Or he's just being a prick and keeping out minorities to keep his racist white tenants happy.

And when a company is massive, you have to allow other people to do work otherwise you will get bogged down by the massive amount of work.

It's ridiculous based only on that information.

For one, it's not as if the government only employs what I'd consider the proper semantic context for claims of racism.

Two, it's not as if someone is guilty just because they're sued or charged with something.

Three, there are situations like this where someone is responsible by virtue of being a business owner or officer, where they may have had little idea what was going on (even if that shouldn't be the case).

Correct. However, for example part of the company is run by one of the managers Trump hired, and the manager displays racist activities, and Trump does nothing about it, therein lies the problem.

I've discussed the article a few times and laid out the fact that Trump had no problem when one of his managers at Trump Palace told all the black workers to move to the back of the room. One of the workers even quoted it. Need I source it again?

So your argument is that people who run companies are not in charge of them? Just go on thinking that if it makes you happy I guess.

Wow! Do you really think Bill Gates knew everything that happened in Microsoft? You really think Steve Jobs knew everything happening in Apple? Cause they didn't. Things happened all the time that were out their control. Just like it happens to Trump. Logic. RIP 2016
