Donald Trump Discrimination
Donald Trump has been accused of housing discrimination. A leaked document has proven that those accusations are true. The Democratic Coalition Against Trump found that there were 9,050 apartments, but they housed only 399 minorities. This means that only 4.4 percent of the people who lived in the housing were minorities. The document proved that both Donald and Fred Trump tried to ignore the 1968 Fair Housing Act.

The Trump Organization did allow more non-white tenants to live in the housing after the 1970s. However, occupancy by non-white tenants only increased from 4.4 percent to 7.2 percent. There is more proof that the Trump Organization went out of their way to make sure that African Americans did not live in the housing.

    Ta-Nehisa Coats “The case for reparations” was able to explain the two hundred fifty long and hard years of slavery. The very long ninety years of Jim Crow, and the depressing thirty-five years of racist housing policy. I completely and total agree with this strong article written by Ta-Nehisa Coats. The part of the article I agreed with the most and want to expand on more was the racist housing policy.…

    I live in Charlotte North Carolina; I just purchased a home in a community called Ballantyne. This community is on what we consider the south side of Charlotte. In February of this year, members of my community were told that there was going to be a public housing development built on a seven acre lot that has been vacant for many years. An emergency community meeting was called; several of my neighbors packed the room, all wanting information about what and where Charlotte’s next public housing development could be built. Many were concerned, especially those living close to the lot that is said to be the land used for the housing development. If Charlotte’s Housing Authority and a local developer are successful in getting their way the development will provide housing for 100 people who fall below Charlotte’s average income. This idea caused more chaos in an evening meeting that I’ve experienced in a life time. Based on the information that I gathered before my departure, the primary concern was because the development would be built within feet of the Ballantyne Country Club. Is it me or is the influence of race stronger for the population that’s greater because of numbers on this side of town? After this meeting I began to notice the difference in me and them. Even had a mother approach me in the grocery store in attempt to apologize for some of my neighbor’s behavior. I simply expressed my appreciation for her concern and carried on with what I was doing before her approach.…

    For example, the Justice Department sued Trump’s real estate company twice for not allowing black people to rent his apartments. The company gave different rental terms and conditions to black people that were unfair. The company also lied to them, saying their were no rooms available. During the presidential debates, Donald was asked about those claims and responded saying how an abundance of other companies have done that as well, as if that makes it okay for a future president to do so. In addition, Donald also attacked Muslim gold star parents verbally. Their son had died serving in the Iraq War. After the father gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention Trump said, “ If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”(Marans, “Here Are 13 Examples Of Donald Trump Being Racist). This remark is racist without a doubt and the effect of these examples are scary. He also accused Hillary Clinton of writing a script for the father which is rude and disrespectful. Donald Trump is a racist because of his indirect controversial…

    I do not know if Donald Trump views it as you do. Trump represents a sizeable group in America that wants the worst for this nation. He constantly remarks about discriminatory and bigotry type practices. Today’s times and concerns are not the same as the 1700s, 1800s and 1900s, and as a result, one would think that race relationships would be much improved; unfortunately, it does not seem like that, and I do agree with you. This class has open my eyes pertaining how White American has treated non-white people, which consist of southern justice, reconstruction, Japanese being jailed during World War II, Native Americans being forced on reservations, and much more. There is a need for “equality” and fairness in this country. Those words…

    I agree with the content and observation within the article, because it is a growing problem in California, especially in the Bay Area. However, the writing style and delivery in which it is portrayed is relying more on emotional appeal, rather on the logical aspect such as numbers and charts. Levin details the displacement of individuals in the Reserve Apartments, due to the fact that it is being dismantled to make way for a development of market-rate housing, because it can lure people of higher income into the world’s prosperous-technology businesses. However, it would pose a problem to many of the tenants, because it would mean they would have to move to other locations where rents is more affordable.…

    There was a struggle for fair housing. “For the prohibition of African Americans or other minorities from certain sections of cities, race-based housing patterns were still in force by the late 1960s.” (History.com, 1991 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company.) Those who challenged them often met with resistance, hostility, and even violence. After all the fighting African Americans, in response, The Civil Rights Act signed into law-also known as The Fair Housing Act. It prohibited discrimination concerning sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, and…

    According to (Shapiro, 2004) “Once about 20 percent of the homeowners in a neighborhood are black, in two years, the entire neighborhoods will be black. This phenomenon occurs because of tactics like blockbusting, a method where real estate agents survey white homeowners in an area. After persuading them that the neighborhood is about to be infiltrated by a minority community the homeowners will leave the area. This is called white flight. Institutionalized discrimination exists within the actual housing system, including redlining and mortgage discrimination” (Shapiro, 2004).…

    Current racial segregation among our society may not be as explicit as the Jim Crow era; however, it is still very prevalent as the research on residential segregation by race reflects. According to David R. Williams and Chiquita Collins, legislation, the support of major economic institutions, federal government housing policies, judicial system enforcement, which are all legitimized by the racial ideologies behind white supremacy, are the contributing forces of racial segregation among neighborhoods (Williams and Collins, 2001, p. 405). To begin, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed to make the discrimination in the sale or rental of housing units in the U.S. illegal. However, Latinos continue to face discrimination when white realtors and…

    In the passage Thomas Paine states that American government is fair-minded. However, there are an overwhelmingly large amount of examples that prove that corruption does indeed exist in America’s political system. One relatively recent example of corruption was the bribery involved Rand Paul’s presidential campaign in 2012. In this event Jesse Benton, Paul’s political director campaign manager admitted to paying senators in exchange for their endorsement towards their campaign (Ballhaus). This example of corruption disproves Paine’s claim that the government in the United Stated is unbiased and fair. In his book, Paine also claimed that, “There the poor are not oppressed, the rich are not privileged…. Their taxes are few, because their government…
