First off comparing Microsoft to Trump Management circa 1973 is beyond ridiculous. Trump Management was pretty small and only based in NYC back then. Trump was only 26 at the time and very far removed from the huge mogul he is today with companies all over the world.

Secondly, Trumps dad started the no blacks policy in the late 60s. They were already in place when he turned it over to Donald. Trying to imply that Trump was oblivious to those policies is ridiculous.

Lastly Trump has long had a reputation as being extremely hands on and all controlling with his business ventures. Based on this it's hard to imagine he was clueless with his first big venture into real estate.

I don't judge other people by the actions of those around them. I think it would be unfair to judge your mother for your actions. You are your own person. She is not you.

So, you have proof that Trump knew about them and was inforcing them?

I'm on a phone so I couldn't edit but I think you asking that question is in poor form since it's irrelevant to the argument. Killing someone is in no way the same form as being racist.

Blank.

Then you're missing the point.

The difference between "racist" and "having no qualms about doing racist things" is so slight that's really not worth discussing.

There has to be one first. Bringing in murder is a cop out argument and you know it.

The article you quoted said that they had something like 40 buildings and rented something like 14,000 apartments. That's not that small.

Nah, racial discrimination in the 60s and 70s was profit driven more than anything. Keeping minorities out helped keep real estate values high and draw in affluent white tenants. These were rentals after all. The tenants didn't own the apartments, Trump Management did.

Yes it is worth discussing. Pragmatism is not racism. I like how I don't have to make long posts right now, since it's such a simple concept that it doesn't require long paragraphs.
