Textbook - 1.

conforming to or corresponding to a standard or type that is prescribed or widely held by theorists.

Not renting to blacks is textbook racism.

If you want a private conversation with Leon make it a one on one debate, otherwise, all members are free to comment on your posts.

Is Huffpo wrong about the incidents?

might want to tell that to legion, who thinks that anyone commenting on his posts MUST stick to the person in the topic, not the topic itself.

I don't know, nor do I care.
1) didn't read but two parts of the article as I consider huffington post a barely reliable source
2) whether trump is a racist or not matters nothing to me as i'm not voting for him.

The Justice Department sued his company — twice — for not renting to black people

When Trump was serving as the president of his family’s real estate company, the Trump Management Corporation, in 1973, the Justice Department sued the company for alleged racial discrimination against black people looking to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

The lawsuit charged that the company quoted different rental terms and conditions to black rental candidates than it did with white candidates, and that the company lied to black applicants about apartments not being available. Trump called those accusations “absolutely ridiculous” and sued the Justice Department for $100 million in damages for defamation.

Without admitting wrongdoing, the Trump Management Corporation settled the original lawsuit two years later and promised not to discriminate against black people, Puerto Ricans or other minorities. Trump also agreed to send weekly vacancy lists for his 15,000 apartments to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and to allow the NYUL to present qualified applicants for vacancies in certain Trump properties.

Just three years after that, the Justice Department sued the Trump Management Corporation again for allegedly discriminating against black applicants by telling them apartments weren’t available.
 
But not renting to people based on their race isn't discrimination, any more than refusing to bake a cake based on sexual orientation is...:rofl2:
