You do realize that anyone who is successful makes themselves a target for litigation. 1973 !?!?! Really. That's what you're clinging to. C'mon.
Why are you bringing up indictments when your claim is that no one ever accused Trump of being a racist until he became a presidential candidate?
Never mind. I know why.
I was being hyperbolic about the flippant way Democrats make accusations of racism not making any reference to litigation which is an oversight on my part.
You are right. If you discourage welfare recipients from renting in a luxury apartment building and a minority group is disproportionately receiving welfare then fewer minority applicants would be accepted. In 1973 very few businesses took much into consideration disparate effects in their policies. That kind of awareness has taken time to develop and American society is to be commended, not reviled, for making steady gains in achieving civil equality. If you want to make the disparate effect of applying race-neutral standards 43 years ago, during a time of widespread limited awareness of disparate effects a disqualifying circumstance, then you have your standards. I am more concerned about current political corruption and official misconduct that happened within the last 4 years than misguided rental policies from more than 40 years ago.
