Nice cherry picking....here's what you don't want to deal with:
In 1996, Trump was sued by more than 20 African-American residents of Indiana who charged that Trump reneged on promises to hire 70% of his work force from the minority community for his riverboat casino on Lake Michigan. The suit also charged that he hadn't honored his commitments to steer sufficient contracts to minority-owned businesses in Gary, Indiana. The suit was eventually dismissed due to procedural and jurisdiction issues.[40][41]
Trump initially came to public attention in 1973 when he was accused by the Justice Department of violations of the Fair Housing Act in the operation of 39 buildings. The Department of Justice said that black "testers" were sent to more than half a dozen buildings and were denied apartments, but a similar white tester would then be offered an apartment in the same building.[9] The government alleged that Trump's corporation quoted different rental terms and conditions to blacks and made false "no vacancy" statements to blacks for apartments they managed in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.[10]
Representing Trump, Roy Cohn filed a counter-suit against the government for $100 million, asserting that the charges were irresponsible and baseless.[9][11] A federal judge threw out the countersuit, calling it a waste of "time and paper".[12] Trump settled the charges out of court in 1975 without admitting guilt, saying he was satisfied that the agreement did not "compel the Trump organization to accept persons on welfare as tenants unless as qualified as any other tenant".[13]
Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter of Trump's book, The Art of the Deal, said that the housing case was "a classic example" of Trump being "a counterpuncher". Someone accuses Trump of doing something horrible, and he "goes back at them with all guns blazing.... And admits nothing." If Trump loses, he will "declare victory".[14]
The corporation was required to send a bi-weekly list of vacancies to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and give them priority for certain locations.[15] Several years later (in 1978) the Trump Organization again was in court for violating terms of the 1975 settlement; Trump denied the charges.[9][12][16]
In 1996, Trump was sued by more than 20 African-American residents of Indiana who charged that Trump reneged on promises to hire 70% of his work force from the minority community for his riverboat casino on Lake Michigan.

The suit was eventually dismissed due to procedural and jurisdiction issues.[40][41]
And then there's this:

What this does is establish a pattern of racial bias/prejudice by the Orange Man (aka Donald Trump). His major defense is that most of his legal cases were either settled or were dismissed on technicalities...as long as he never admits guilt, he considers it a vindication.

Strange that Trump defenders NEVER gave the same consideration to President Obama.

racists are like nazi's....lie, deny, excerpt, present false images to the public that contradict their true policies.

So because Trump is honest and labels other countries as shitholes, you think he's a racist?
PMP can not discern between dropped charges and a dismissed case.
The discrimination charges were never " dropped" against Trump.
The case was dismissed because the federal courts decided compliance was more important than locking up a bunch of millionaire landlords for breaking the new law.
We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.
rac·ist
rāsəst/noun
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

That people deny Trump's racism only shows what puppets they are, followers and emasculated men all. Nothing new there. Blowhards like Trump give strength to weak men, he says what they say and think in their resentment, a resentment that someone is getting something they deserve. See last link for an outline and see my emasculated male thread. The paradox is as the weak white male screams praise for Donnie, he fails even to pay them for their work in NY and the rich laugh all the way to the bank. Fool thy name is right wing trump voter.

"Here we have a man who for more than four decades has been repeatedly associated with racial discrimination or bigoted comments about minorities, some of them made on television for all to see. While any one episode may be ambiguous, what emerges over more than four decades is a narrative arc, a consistent pattern — and I don’t see what else to call it but racism." http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/24/op...-a-racist.html

"The media often falls back on euphemisms when describing Trump’s comments about race: racially loaded, racially charged, racially tinged, racially sensitive. And Trump himself has claimed that he is “the least racist person.” But here’s the truth: Donald Trump is a racist. He talks about and treats people differently based on their race. He has done so for years, and he is still doing so.
Here, we have attempted to compile a definitive list of his racist comments – or at least the publicly known ones. link above

more than anything else in the last three decades, the failed attempts of lib'ruls to paint conservatives as racists highlights demmycrat stupidity.......

Has not been proved I am lying. Those are the facts there is public records and court cases. Deal with it. The cases were not dropped. He settled the housing discrimination case and then was hauled back into court when it was proven he wasn't abiding by the settlement and then was forced to rent to African-American tenants. The case against his employment discrimination was NOT dropped. The New Jersey Gambling Commission found him guilty of discrimination and fined him $200,000. A fine he appealed to the New Jersey courts and lost because he was guilty. It was never dropped and he paid the fine. The employment suit was settled not dropped with puss boy paying out an undisclosed amount of money to settle the case. Once again you long on hot air and accusations and short on facts. Either stop lying or educate yourself so you don't looks so foolish or stupid in the future.
