Trump's grandfather was a pimp and tax evader; his father a member of the KKK

[lostinblue 1,989]

"A New York Times article published 01 June 1927, related Donald Trump's father Fred Trump's role in a Ku Klux Klan brawl that pitted 1,000 klansmen against 100 New York City Police in Queens. Though he wasn't officially charged, Fred Trump was one of seven klansmen arrested during the incident."

Go through the archives at your local library and find the article.

This is true, but isn't Obama judged off of his father all the time?

I believe some VJers refer to him as 'The Kenyan.'

He was a person arrested during the riot . One of only seven. out of 1000 . No proof he was a klan member . Just someone arrested during a riot. .. Flash mob I believe folks call it today

Yes, and I think they're wrong.

One of my rotten apples is mentioned here on occasion.

You are throwing out the story that trumps father was a kkk member. . Show us some proof .

What's funny about this is, you believe some far out theories when it's someone you don't vibe with politically.

so since Democrats supported slavery and opposed the Civil rights bill we should not vote for them

If they do now, I wouldn't vote for them.

Someone who happened to have the exact same name and address as a member of the Klan.

Donald Trump’s father — Fred Trump — was named in a 1927 clash that the Ku-Klux Klan had with police in New York. A report picked up by Boing Boing revealed that a man with same name and address as Trump’s father was involved in the KKK conflict in Queens, New York.

Could be a coincidence. Or he could just be a regular racist, instead of a KKK member.

Another article that doesn’t help Donald Trump’s father with regard to possible ties with the Ku Klux Klan, is one from 1979 published by Village Voice. It reported on a 1975 civil suit alleging that the Trumps refused to rent to black people seeking homes. It also quoted a rental agent who claimed that Fred Trump told him not to rent to blacks and to press those already living in the homes to leave. The case was settled as a consent degree — described as “one of the most far-reaching ever negotiated.”

So trump was arrested . Does not mean he was a klan member . You claim folks get arrested all the time on trumped up charges . Mistaken identity . .. wrong place wrong time . Black panthers were arrested in the Ferguson riots . So everyone rioting were Black panther members ?. Everyone arrested on the streets were Black panther members ?

Yep, since there isn't any concrete evidence he was a member of the klan, it could be a case of mistaken identity. But since he was sued in a civil suit practicing discrimination that makes it a bit interesting no?

So, he's either a KKK member or not but still was racist against black people. Which one do you think he was, because he was definitely one or the other.

Nice to see the True Patriots here bending over backwards to support a draft dodger and tax evader! A Buffoon in Cheif is truly what they deserve though they are not likely to get the Trumpmeister into the office.

If Hillary has her way, he'd run again.

It's quite funnty watching all the libs scared that we won't have a liar in chief in office after the next election.

Are they abolishing the office of president?

If not, there's going to be a liar in there.

And Obama dad was an American hating radical Muslim

I was speaking to the OP and the claims made regarding Trump's grandfather. The OP has moved on to Trump's father and attempts to defend his clear record of racism and potential member of the KKK.

Bill Clinton was not the subject of the discussion but I personally think that not being willing to fight in Vietnam and the opposite, going to fight in Vietnam are and were both understandable courses to take. Completely beside the point however.

Obamers father's was a radical Kenyan Muslim

I'm glad we live in a country where we are not judged by the actions of our parents and our grandparents and people know better than to hold a person responsible for something an ancestor did. Right? Am I wrong about that or are we going to hold people responsible for things their ancestors did?

We only hold Obama responsible for his dad. Gotta stick with the program here.

Well to be fair the thread was about disparaging Trump for his dad
