Quote:I double checked. Convicted is indeed false. Faced with such a mountain of evidence he was forced to settle would be correct. That's in reference to a 1973 case about Trump refusing black tenants in his properties. He counter sued BTW, which got thrown out almost straight away. Then he was sued again for not adhering to the terms of the settlement. Then there's the discrimination lawsuit against Trump Plaza where they removed a black dealer to cater to a high roller. 

 

I read about the 1973 case where he settled but also complied with federal regulation afterwards. I don't agree with his stance at all, but it was 43 years ago and Donald Trump had only just taken the reigns as president at 27 years old. I am glad to see he complied afterwards even after settling the supposed claim. What happened with the discrimination lawsuit with Trump Plaza? I read that pit bosses were accused of being discriminatory and a casino was fined $200k, and something about a couple VPs being fined $53k for favoring a high rollers business, but nothing about Trump being accused of racism. Regardless, none of these scandals are big enough to warrant any sort of support shift from me personally.
